Ok so I admit I have watched this a few times because its a great rebound goal and shows how well we can move the ball 

BUT

The more I watched the more I started laughing at Joe Daniher and his defensive efforts - just focus on big Joey - really good effort !  

 

Wow, you're not wrong. That's awful stuff.  You'd be disappointed to see that from a young tall forward starved all day in a team being thrashed late in the season, not an alleged gun in top team when the game is on the line against a likely finals opponent.

I know - 10 mins to go, game up for grabs, 7 points down 

If I was Fagan I'd be fuming - so glad he doesn't wear a Melbourne jumper - really deflating for his team mates to see that

??that was horrendous from Joey


That is maybe 3 embarrassing efforts in 5 seconds.

Disgraceful for a professional sportsman.

 

 

 

Don't know how we escaped those bone crunching tackles.

Thanks! My god. The pressure of a country-footballer who’s team is down by 130 points. 

Here's one from 2 minutes earlier ETHDenver so tired ethdenver bufficorn GIF

Wow, that’s absolutely disgraceful from Daniher. Some of the weakest efforts you could possibly imagine. 

Also great goal from TMac, Trac wasn’t is a much better position and Tommy’s in form. Let it ride!

Each of the 3 efforts are more half arsed than the one before. 

Zorko’s efforts when Tom Sparrow kicked his goal was awful too but at least Zorko had been running all night. 

I watched the second half yesterday and remembered Georges comments on the podcast about zorko's non effort. Woeful. Gifted the goal.

Sure, it's the end of the game but he is the captain. Really bad look

Yes, surprised the Zorko effort hadn't been mentioned earlier.

I watched the replay 20 times and thought it must have been the viewing angle that made him look closer than he was. For a youngster like Sparrow to have time to drop the ball cold, wait for a teammate to hand it back to him before taking his time to slot the goal was surprising.


Playing devil's advocate here . . . poor Daniher looked a tad tired and aha-ahaha long live Darren Burgess. Though I sometimes wish Tomald or Gawn would put in those types of efforts at the contest and not gain possession. Maybe it's instructed?

Nah, the pimply doofus is just a spud defensively.

 

Saying otherwise would make me realise how much we will miss Burgess next year and that makes faulty sad......

I quite like that doofus, similar to my fondness for Fitzy and Frost. 

Faulty along with the rest of the supporters should put his/their efforts into keeping Burgo at the club, at almost any cost. 

I would support him working for almost the same remuneration for a few months over the pre-season with FIFO top-ups during the year, just to ensure he was ours and didn't defect to the Crows. We're already paying that cash. 

That's how important I think he is. It's so satisfying heading into last quarters knowing we will at least have the legs. On top of that, Burgess is a truly inspiring figure, like having a second coach. 

  

How could we spend so much time sh## canning a pl;ayer from another club whose close relative is a legend here

Pretty pathetic and could bite...

If you think we're being critical, try talking to Essendon supporters about him. They are enraged by his defection and actively wish that he be badly injured!  

No doubt Joe has talent, but OMG he can be such an absolute buffoon.

I remember when he played for Essendon vs Melbourne April or May 2017 - we had an unexpected win and he kicked a huge bag of behinds and just carried on like a demented clown.

After that whenever there were calls for us to trade him in I thought, never forget that day.  And there have been others too.

Rise above the madding crowd, my Coach always said, and i kept on trying to take speccies ever since

 

Did it on the opposite wing too. Not to mention Petty looking like Usain Bolt in a race to the ball with him.

  • 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 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?
