And what Sparrow or ANB are any better?

Your having a [censored] laugh... at least they know how to tackle. 

 

Why are we still leading/kicking to the pocket when we're 3+ goals down??

    Hipwood is just trying to block in every marking contest. Someone has to make the umpires aware of it. It’s killing us.

    Gotta reset real fast. Hard tag on Neale right now. Need to clear the 50. Tmac needs to push up to the wings so we can maybe take a contested mark. 
    This game is going to be over real fast if we don’t wake up.

    They are not why we can’t win a clearance or take a contested mark. It’s just ignoring the obvious problems to blame the umpires. 

    Itd be worth a doctorate thesis to analyze the confidence levels after receiving unfair treatment from perceived to be unbiased adjudicators.
    Agree we are playing [censored], but it’s easy to go into your shell when it feels like the worlds against you.

    I must be watching another game. ANB and Sparrow are totally useless. Wouldn't make Norths team and yet we carry them 

    Sam Weideman 1 disposal, Melksham 2 disposals and Hunt 2 disposals in a half of footy.

    Absolute disgrace. I'm off Weideman. He's [censored] useless.

    Brisbane’s talls dominating all around the ground. Tommy and weid need to forget that first half and rebound quickly.

    4 to 10 (Brisbane’s way) centre clearances and 14 to 22 (Brisbane’s way) clearances.

    That’s the issue right there.

    Yep smashing us out of the middle and we can't transition out of defence. Clarry needs to lift big time.

    • 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?
