Too many passengers today. We need a big big lift from Jones, Melksham, Viney (looks hurt in that last contest), JJ, ANB and Brown. You can’t have this many players doing SFA when Hawthorn are all over us like a rash.

    technically it was Hibberd for May, and Fritsch for Petty.

    I don’t think so. It was Hibberd for Jetta, Petty for May and Brown for Frisch.

    We are playing poorly. What can you say apart from praising our max and lever and kozzie.

    Mids look slow and i dont know who will kick our goals.

    Out of context.......they are just numbers. 
    All were there. Many other numbers should’ve been added though

    Those calling for Petty’s inclusion might not be so bullish about him now.  Very ordinary so far.

    He is not so accomplished in defence IMHO.  Much better as a medium tall mobile forward.  However, with so many tall forwards in the waiting i can't see the FD rolling this die anytime soon so we will be left to die wondering this season me thinks.

    If we could take our chances in front of goal we'd  be 5 goals up. Just tidy this up and the 4pts are ours

    Gotta lift, simple as that.

    like to see jackson take a mark

    2 marks. Uncontested. About 15 contested attempts.  He took 2 beauty’s versus Freo and not really any contested marks since. Gets to the contest but needs to grab a few more.

    Too many passengers today. Max, Kozzie and Lever the only players on their game. We need more from Oliver, Trac, Viney and Tmac. Ground ball work is sub-par. Not locking the ball into our I50. Come on Spargs and Nibbler.

    Jones looks like an old man today. Pains me to say it.

    The coaches will earn their wages at half-time. the Hawks will re-group and come out firing again.

    A nerve shredder coming up folks

    Salem ?

    Ive been saying this for a few weeks.  Needs to lose the Hollywood and just knuckle down.  Neither him or Viney are very good at threading the needle to hit up targets inside 50.  Just hit the hot zone quickly or shoot at goal if within range and put pressure on the opp either just outside the square or on the scoreboard pls.

    Missing May, back line looks ... random. As for forward line, less said the better.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
