    Why is the forward line still dysfunctional by Round 16?

    it really is fascinating

    I’m not a fan of what Spargo did that’s borderline corruption for it to be paid HTB one minute after Toby.

    We're making terrible decisions. May has saved our backsides too many times already.

    For the few times we've made it into the forward 50, who's taking the marks? Almost like we could do with somebody tall out there! What's the gameplan here!?

    Getting smashed in the centre clearances. Also leave McDonald, fritta or Jackson in the 50 so we have a target. 

    This is not top of the ladder football

    Yep why do we always tap the ball behind, dominate ruckman and we hit it behind, if we don't win it gives them an easy clearance 

     

    Here at the ground. We are nowhere near it. Flat as a tack. GWS will win this by at least 6 goals. Forward line is dysfunctional. Good bye top 4

     


    Nibbler, Clarry and Harmes turn it over far too often and we desperately need a tall option in the fwd line.

    Fox sports commentary fails to call it a duck

    It's disgusting. And to cap it off, with that weasel Greene.

    Why is it that we take forever to get going?

    Plus our entries into 50 ?. Even a half good Brown would get the ball to ground from which our smalls could rove. FMD, it’s sooooo simples.

    We take forever to get it in because we look up and see a midget fleet as our only options inside 50. Appalling non selection. Teams have worked out our game plan and we just stick to the same old stuff

    Stop blaming umpires we are have no idea how to enter the forward line we had enough entries we just waste them.

    [censored] our game.  No atmosphere at all

    Its pretty strange when the number one team simply cannot come out and smash a team....just ONCE

    Of all our 22.. Hibbo makes me most concerned. Very nervous, fumbles and often ball watches.. need Lockhart in

    Despite my pillorying of Eddie over other matters, he is calling this game well.

    Goody: Right boys, we really need to fix our mid forward connection so we need to lower our eyes when going forward.

    ANB: Are we going to bring a key forward in, Goody?

    Goody: We've already got him, mate. You'll be our lead up forward this week.

    ANB: ?

    3 highest possession winners for the quarter were defendets. Oliver ineffective.

    Poorest forward connection for a top team ever. 

    Gws system and connection far superior.

    This team is starting to remind me of the usual MFC

    lost at selection table.

    All the talk of defensive forwards is nice but you need to score to win

    We look flat everywhere except down back.

    • 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?
