Going to get a good old belting today. Just not top 2 or top 4 material for that matter. Yes defence is great but we are really poor in attacking. 
 

remember the Giants have many starting 22 injuries while we are just about full squad. 

Agreed not even close to top 4 at the moment and with a tough run home I think we are done, no doubt we finish 5th and cop a belting from the tigers

Disgusting performance. Viney has been very poor and absolutely no forward line thanks to the selectors.

Viney not up to it. But hes not alone.

If we dont work out our fwd line soon we will be lucky to be top four.

But its not like nobody has not been saying this which makes it so frustrating.

 

Edited by leave it to deever

Statistically we're not doing too badly.

How we *look* is a different story. TMacs checkside kick from 50 out preceded three GWS goals. Our pressure is very poor. But we are defending okay.

Not out of reach. Unlikely, but not impossible. Let's back them in. Our Brisbane game looked ominous at half time.

What are we doing at training that results in this crap on game day?

Sculling bathwater.

    Good call. Game over now.

    Last week bombers weren't  good enough. Gws are class and we're a 5 to 8th team.  Selection forward strategy non existent. 

    Its a pretty even comp as we all know there are no easy games and when your not on 100% you will be punished 

    Hopefully second half is a very different story 

    Reality bus is never far away

    WTF was that from Harmes??

    I would applaud anyone who takes out that [censored] stain of a human Mumford.

    I’ve counted 6 free kicks directly from the Centre bounce to the Giants.

    We've lost it in there

    Can't get a sniff, and any touch is a fumble. They're cleaner

    Lazy performance from our midfielders, and terrible non-Brown selection by the coaching panel has us in a situation where we just cannot score, regardless of how good our defensive running, structure and personnel are.

    How about we put Max forward 80/20 and Jacko rucks 80/20.

    Coz boy it ain’t working at the minute

    This. Its not rocket science.

    Max is preyed upon from the umpires. They actively look for the straight arm. 
    mids need to pull finger out and take front position. Frees and clearances will then follow. 

    3 goals a half.    Good footy !!

    Oh. DR.D, you're so negative. Pull your heads in you biased know it alls! The players are playing the way you think. We've lost to Adelaide, Collingwood and now GWS. Say Goodbye to top 4 officially. 

    Poor max he has tried to do everything, he's tacking, getting back in defence getting battered from pillar to post.  Someone help him. He can't do everything


    I don’t understand those begging for Brown. He’d be getting nowhere near it, because we are continually losing the ball at the coal face. Even it up at the contest and then we can see what our forward line looks like.

    Putrid first half. 
    We have lost all our systems and confidence from earlier in the season. 
    can be turned around, but why has it happened 

    Huge Half time for Goodwin

    Still cannot believe Sideshow is not playing

    Harmes is not a smart player.

    Yep, that is why his only spot is  a defensive midfielder.  Needs a run with role.

    • 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?
