OLIVER GET INVOLVED!!!!FFS, THIS IS THE 2ND WEEK IN A ROW HE HAS PLAYED LIKE A VFL 2NDS PLAYER IN THE FIRST HALF.

 

FRISTCH HIT A BLOODY TARGET GOING INSIDE 50! JACKSON YOU TOO. FFS.

TERRRRRRRRIBLE QUARTER!!!

Try the decaf?

 

So many attempts to hit up short targets, and shallow ones, coming inside 50 into a crowded zone.

Need to use the short ground and get it deep to the front of the goal square more often to mix things up, put pressure on the defenders and give the talls are fair chance to mark/smalls to crumb.

The short stuff is too often, too predictable and in such a crowded forward line, spoiled too often.

Go longer.  And this is where BB would have been slightly harder to defend had he been instructed to play deep IMHO vs the Weid whose DNA sees him more likely to play higher and on the lead.

Jackson - 6 marks in a quarter of footy. Nice.

don't care. turned it over going inside 50m multiple times. ****house

 

The pies are bringing us to their level. The challenge now is to get it back on our terms.

Oliver needs to lift. In a quarter where we had 113 disposals for the quarter,  he only had 3.

Oliver was far from our only problem that quarter.

Jackson, ANB, Jordan and May good so far.

Weeds hasn't got anywhere near the ball.

Oliver quiet.

Our first quarters have been so often underwhelming. We're ahead. Confident we'll smash them.

well, OK.

Oliver 3 touches. Needs to get on his bike. 

Clarrie got on his bike!!!



To Collingwoods credit they are doing exactly the right thing. Not letting us move the ball cleanly and blocking the outlet on the Langdon wing. Well done to them. 

How does Kozzi do what he does and then drop a chest mark?? Absolute sitter inside 50

 

Block on Petty not paid

  • 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?
