Melksham is putrid 

He’s the most selfish bloke out there. 

 

Wasn’t expecting this. Good effort but we really need to put the pressure on this quarter. This lead is way too easy for them to overcome.

Thank [censored] they called against cuntington. He is usually given a longer tether than most

To be fair, that’s the first time we have bothered to tackle him today.

 

That is seriously one of the best goals I've ever seen from Kozi in that quarter. Not overly flashy but the work rate was absolutely insane.

And usually dives forward for the "in the back" when he knows he's done.

Jake Melksham has made me nearly put my fist through a window at least 7 times today.

Can't stand the [censored]

He delivered three balls on the chest that quarter. Not had a great game but it's clear he's better forward of centre. He's trying to create.

Much better quarter Melbourne. Worked our socks off and levelled up the contest ball. Gives us a fighting chance. Luke Jackson more than did his job in those centre bounces. Hasnt been a good one from Maxy but a big last quarter will suffice.

Tom McDonald has been good for us since he went back.

Good move by Goodwin there.

Goodwin talks about playing your role and sticking to your structures, but he gives this guy a free ride. The mind boggles.

You and me both.

My North-supporting mate put $100 on them at 14:1. Not looking like a bad investment right now...

Let’s hope we both have no clue what we’re talking about.

His work rate was amazing for that goal. Cyril-esque. Was worried the criticism this past week would have hurt him but he's responded.

First goal super important. We get it and I think they give up and it'll blow out.

Next few weeks it gets tough. The fairy tale was never going to last all season 

We are now being Hunted. 

Speaking of Hunt...he has been totally Mia.

One kick....ZERO tackles.

With Jv out and Oliver having a quiet day it has a huge impact.

Thankyou Fritta and Kozzie and Langdon and Trac.

Anyone know what happened to Brayshaw??

Some half time moves and an increase in work rate and we look a lot better. Great to see the kids in Koz and LJ lead the way. Now surely they dont come back out on their heels thinking its done? Surely...

Melksham’s role is to kick accurately 

He did well that quarter. Helps us get back into the game

Not quite as good, but similar in a way to Farmer's Goal of the Century. Took possession in theback half and gave and received all the way until a goal was scored.


Fully expecting North to come out firing and red hot to win this. 

We are still trash in the clearances. Sort this out and we win. Otherwise this will go down to the wire.

What the hell has happened to Brayshaw?

His helmet is on too tight I think. 

C'mon dees don't lose this one. Jackson got them back in the game Gawn has been putrid. Thank god for Kossie

He's not a mid fielder that's for sure.  High HF kicking inside for the hit ups is about it.  Doesn't pressure without ball and when it's on the ground good luck.  I'm not sure a team can carry that one major asset long term.  Or can they?

Indeed. ?

(I think it's going to take a few good years to get rid of my deeply ingrained pessimism when it comes to the Dees.)

  • 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.

    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?
