hate to say but while the dees are a good side  they’re just not a premiership threat.

    I think I agree, he's been flat for a few weeks but saved by a few great moments of class. He needs to regain some form.

    Lifted the intensity, but not enough end product. Can still do it but unless that clearance count changes it's curtains.

    Can’t buy a clean clearance. Getting what we deserve.

    Our inability to win clearances is a disgrace today. 

    At the ground and that’s the most obvious thing. Oh, and no key forward.

    We continue to lose stoppage after stoppage. Midfield coach has been absolutely slaughtered this week, and Oliver, Viney and Petracca have all been well done.

    If I was a defender I’d be having some ‘open’ conversations with the midfield this week. I really feel for them.

    Watch Trac at the centre bounce -  he’s no good below his knees and loses out so many times when it hits the ground -  I’d rather Kossie in there

    Not when HQ is manipulating the ladder.

    Midfield bath water. Add Gawn poo, Oliver [censored], Petracca bum cheese……yummy!

    Statistically the worst goal kicking accuracy club in the comp. Fritsch disgraceful, Petracca the same. I'd prefer you have 15 touches and 2 goals then 30 and 0.2 I'm so [censored] over this [censored] goal kicking. We almost have to put Salem forward as he is just about the only guy I trust to kick straight. Bloody hopeless. 
     

    Grunt v class, Kelly all class, we dont have any silk in our midfield

    I agree. We've made big improvements this year but I don't see consistent professionalism and dominance needed to win a flag.

    Why don’t we throw Gus in the middle? Can’t be worse.

    Our midfield is getting smashed today, hoping for a repeat of Round 1 2016.

    Just leave gawn FF. Jackson can ruck

    Jackson also looks more likely to win a clearance

    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

    At least the team is not as boring and predicable as some of the supporters....

    • 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?
