If we win from here we are the real deal   but worried

 

We wont win this and our excellent start has just gone down the toilet. So too has us doing any good in Sept. Premiership aspirants DONT Lose games to Adelaide,Collingwood and now Gws! Players drinking their iwn bathwater and Goodwin failing to select BB was disaster waiting to happen

 

Difficult to see on TV but The expert comments are saying we are playing a 7 man defence giving GWS an extra around the ball when it’s being contested. We are getting belted around stoppages and thru the middle. Time to get numbers back in the middle I think. Is it Jordan playing back to make up the 7? 

 

Don't care if Weed or Brown don't get a touch. Need a contest. GWS are marking everything uncontested in our forward 50.

No point Tom Macdonald marking on the wing then kicking long to Spargo & Pickett.

Viney isnt an asset at stoppages. He is again blocking the outlet as he is 2nd to the drop. 

The Rugby player playing rugby


This is simple.

Outnumbered at the contest but we have an extra in defence. 

Oliver, Petracca, Viney, Harmes, can't win a clearance so forwards are getting nothing.

GWS have also taken the Melbourne wingers out of play.

How many more year of Viney do we have to watch lol 

Yes he's heart and soul - but he's just not a good player I'm sorry 

Game is going past him at an alarming rate

Agree. 16 rounds in and they can’t work out we go sideways when their is no key forward and then make a disposal error to turn it over.

How are our speedy small forwards looking, when the ball isn’t delivered properly, or kicked to a big forward who can bring it to ground?

Maybe a loss will force Goodys hand and bring in one of the browns.

We had sam w in for five games...dropped him without like for like.

Sick of our backline having to do all the work.

And if bbs fitness is in question then so should  vineys.

Edited by leave it to deever

 

They are going in way harder and are using it better. If we don’t lift our pressure we will lose heavily.

Hibbo: 1 disposal

Toby Green: 3 goals

Time for a rethink.

Toby Green: four kicks. Yes, he has converted well, but  Hibbo is doing a great job 


They clearly want a tall in the goal square because they’re playing Gawn and Jackson in the square. But neither are forwards.

BLITHLY OBLIVIOUS GOODWIN NO IDEA 

Selection committee blocking out fugazi, aka common sense with Brown's non-selection. Too much self serving tripe at press conferences not to mention the Gawn/ Bradshaw podcast rubbish.

2nd qtr

getting smashed at the clearances 12-18 and losing contested footy 30-39 

giants switched on. Pressure acts  

who’s on kelly. Ffs he’s killing us

oliver Viney brayshaw are having zero influence 

a goalkicking tall forward !!! Give me Ben Brown now 

gawn salem May lever 

Anb goal  SPARROW goal

goody??? 

?  I think we do need a Ben Brown NOW 

? Giants have extra man at contest and we have may behind the ball. That’s a defensive mindset

? kozzzzzy. STAY INSIDE 50 ffs !!!

And if so WTF for??

Ok, I’m probably gonna cop it but I have never got all the love for Viney……sure he is hard at it but rarely does he come up with the ball and if he does he gets tackled trying to do too much. He’s not fast, blindly bombs his kicks but I guess he’s not alone there. I dunno, maybe I know nothing.  ?

No hes not hes getting totaly towelled up

Nothing to do with Ben Brown not being out there. Nothing. 

Reckon the club knew we were playing Thursday so no Brown with a 5 day break. Would suggest he only plays a half for Casey tonight.

he sucks and I'm happy to cop heat for it 

being tough isn't an asset anymore

I would trade him in a heartbeat.

He's getting exposed with the pace of the game, in 2 years he will be totally shot

Agreed. If we were winning more clearances our forwards would be more likely to score. It's as simple as that.

  • 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?
