I would give Petracca - minus 10….pathetic effort from him today,

Pathetic? 
he was one of few that put in a strong effort all game. Missed some targets and goals but very far from pathetic.

Agree that Trac was polarizing today. Had some good one on ones and tried to drag us back into the game.  Certainly not a bad game.  

BUT HIS MISS FOR GOAL FROM 25-30 METRES OUT STRAIGHT IN FRONT WAS HORRIBLE.  In the context of the third quarter, it was bad.

Our kicking for goal is putrid 

No one has any conftidence nor firs thecfirward line look cohesive.

Guess who coaches both Stafford?? 

What quals has he to be a forward AFL coach and goal kicker. ? 

Pressure seems to get the better of our forwards. Need to be more relaxed and first option trained.

Had a discussion last night about the Dees and who we could hope to see step more in the 2nd half of the year. Gussy Brayshaw was an interesting one. I said he was having a good year (and great to see him on the park given his concussion issues from a few years ago). But agree he’s hardly back to 2018 and is planning a more defensive wing type role. Thought he was very good against the bombers.

Can't make my mind up about Hibberd's game. Only a few possessions of his own, but kept Toby Greene's numbers way down, except for the matter of 3 goals in a low scoring game. I guess that's closer to a fail than a pass. (And I'm not suggesting Hibberd should be near the votes).

  • 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?
