Oh well who wants to finish top 4 anyway. 
Our midfield should be ashamed of that performance. Viney has to get dropped. He’s a liability. Pickett likewise.

    Anyone who reckons the umps have screwed us is kidding themselves. You play 1 qtr, what do you expect?

    Trac, Oliver and Viney were ****house. Hunt should be dropped. [censored] decision to not bring in another tall

    Maybe what we need is a player in the forward line whose job it is to kick goals and that’s it….

    It's a four quarter game.  Where was the intensity in the first three quarters?

    As much as I love him, Hunt reminds me of Frost sometimes… incredible speed and gains a lot of metres but has the footy IQ of a goldfish

    Pressure and intensity way off in the first half, and got we deserved from a side outside the 8, yet again. Pisses me off, we are a better team than previous years, but the same old soft underbelly is still there.

    Unfocused from the get-go. 

    I don't mind if we have an eye on September. Don't think top two is as important as others. 

    We've stood up against all of the top teams. Next week is the real match. 

    Still, Ben Brown please.

    Or... just composure in front of goal, and we win yeah?

    Ease off - giants played very well. Our strengths came to fore in the last, we just didn't convert.

    If there’s one positive to be taken out of this, it’s that Richmond are out of the eight.

    Had our chances in the last 5 minutes but stuffed up the forward entries. Hunt had three brain fades in a row!

    We have issues. We’re in poor form. Our midfield is getting belted around the ball. We can’t score.

    Were making up the numbers come finals time if we can’t fix our midfield and forward line issues.

    When you play selfish football you lose.  We have lost that team first do what ever it takes attitude. 

    It wasn't a cracking game it was garbage.  We need a high quality mid

    • 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?
