    Walker is legit one of the least pleasant humans to look at going around.

    Hopefully our class will show 2 nd half     but a few look tired.    10 in a row is bloody hard to do but  we can do it

    How ridicoulous is that decision. I don't like bagging the umps but seriously. My 5 year old could tell that wasn;t deliberate

    Agree.  It’s a joke.

    I think a loss is not the end of the world. But losing because defensively we are falling apart is really disappointing. 
     

    Crows playing in front. This will be an arm wrestle which could go either way, or we will turn on the after burners and kick away.

     

    The umpires need to learn how far 15m is.

    Hopefully they draw inspiration from the North game where we struggled through the first half but rebounded strongly after half time. 
     

    We haven’t looked this incapable of stopping a side’s ball movement in a long while.

    They are using the ground space much better than us. We are going direct and turning it over and their transition is slicing us apart. Our mids need to enhance defense pressure.

    Ditto. It’s the big call out by Goody at half time.  Two way running needed.  

    If Tex got in Fritsch’s head there it would just sum up the half and how a team sitting 9-0 has been intimidated by an average team who has shown a bit of skill but relentless work rate to win the footy. 
     

    Lift.

    why are people so negative on here? this is basically how every game has gone this season.

    In one half, the crows have nearly kicked the average FT score against us this year...

    Defence has been woeful (Jetta poor, May having a mare, we are missing Salem big time), skills have been sloppy, we're giving too much room and generally look gassed.

    I know we have to lose at some point, but I'd rather it was not to these posers.

    Hoping Weid can prove his worthiness in the side in the last 2 quarters.

    As for our small forwards in ANB, Spargo and Kossie, wake the puck up.

    Very untrue. Adelaide are cutting us up through the middle and are transitioning with ease. Our backline has been very very poor and loose. This is the first time it’s happened all year.

    We haven't got our match ups right. Tex is winning on the lead vs Petty but it's a win for Petty in the one on one.

    May has had one effective spoil all game on a 5 gamer.

    Lever has the small but Crows don't mind that as they are fine taking the short option and or trying to rove the pack.

    Langdon and Hunt are the keys for us to win this game. We need speed to match them as they are breaking very easily.

    We are desprately missing some movement out of defence.

    Langdon had ripper first quarters but that 2nd one was not good.

    Jordon has hardly touched it.

    Anb and Spargo twiddling their thumbs.

    Hunt and Petty are  just not moving.

    Im surprised scores are level.

    Melksham started well too but was mia in that quarter.

    A big shout out to Max and Trac but we were poor in that quarter. 

    Scores are level though so why are the commentators just raving avout the crows.

    We are not five goals down.

    Give us a break.

    Hary Lyon shame on you. This was your club mate. Just calm down Gary.

     

    Backline looks so shaky. Will need Kosi magic to get out of this one with a W.

    North killed us for a half, they couldn't miss a target.

    • 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?

      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?
