Baker is showing why he should play for Casey.

Keeps making dumb decisions.

 

It’s all mindset for us. Right now we are cruising along and North are beating us at our own game. 
we have 3/4 to change this. Needs to start with Max and then the mids. Oliver needs to get going. Gotta win the ball and our pressure needs to lift by a massive amount.

We should be 3 goals down.

    You find away....

    Far and away our worst quarter of the year. Other than Petracca and Fritsch everyone needs to lift

     

    Melkshams inside 50s entries have been pathetic so far.

    Sitting in a noisy a [censored] pub, can any one let me know what happened to Tommo please?

    ACL

    Bath water comes to mind. Not nearly as good as everyone thinks they are. Lazy effort.

    Easily our worst quarter of footy for the season.  No willingness to run both ways from some or even close down space in the zone.  Zero connection between the followers.  Just awful.  If not for Fritta we'd be down by 3 goals to a team that hasn't won a game.

    Were the boys out on a Boags Brewery tour yesterday?

     

    Look way off the pace.

     


    North have been starting games well and it's unsurprising they're giving us some cheek.  However, there's only a goal in it and I'm confident we'll still win and win well.

    Shame about Thommo.  Come on down, Harry Petty.

    North have started several games well this year. The trend is they always drop off in the second half.

    No need for panic.

    Yet.

    Lazy lazy quarter of football. Old fashioned bake required.

     

    Oliver needs to lift. fumbles and dropped marks. lift! this is EXACTLY why im the most negative poster on demonland. performances EXACTLY like this against the worst team in the comp!

    • 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?
