Jeez this is hard to watch. This is a [censored] team with a huge injury list and nothing to play for. Anything less than a 60 point win is a failure tonight, and yet we’re barely ahead now. 

Wake up you lazy buggers. You can’t just rock up and win. You actually have to work to get the result.

    2.3 to 4.0 this quarter. Hawks are 17th and on form worst side in the comp. Goodwin needs to give this mob a rocket. Cats and Dogs put the foot to the throat of geams like this. We just linger and make things so difficult.

    If this continues i would even take Melk over Viney in the middle for a while and let Viney try and find some connection/skills down at Casey.

    Problem is there's no Casey and probably won't be for weeks.

    Invest in Sparrow.

    Geez were walking now

    Viney needs to go down to VFL and earn his spot. Only has a left foot and it ain’t much good. Needs to know his limits and play within them.

    [censored] over this. We play pathetic football against crap opposition. We need the win and the percentage. Pull your finger out and get going. This is just inexcusable to let Hawthorn waltz inside 50 for easy goals. 
    Can’t even win a clearance against these plodders. Viney absolute crap. 
    Need a hell of a lot more from Tmac too.

    Why can’t we just bloody bury a team early!? 26 points up against 17th on the ladder, dominating where the ball is, but then take the foot off the throat....again! 

    Not finishing our work, again. Brown has been good, but jeez you’d put that first shot in the bank usually.

    If any game this year confirms what we’ve been seeing all year, we just don’t know how to be a good, let alone great team. And it’s really disappointing. To give probably the worst AFL team put on the park this year a 3 goal run and a second quarter victory is frankly woeful stuff. The Hawks will likely run out of puff, and we’ll get the win, but once more against a lowly team we’ve shown our lack of dominance.

    I am absolutely livid. Some of these players are just plain lazy. Why the [censored] do we need to make this so [censored] hard. We are so losing this game. 


    Let them off the hook there, we were 4 goals up should've gone into the break 40 up, let's roll them in the 3rd!!

    C'mon Demons!!!!

    Disappointing. 

    It’s rare that we give up chains of goals, but we did.

    We need to make a statement in the 3rd quarter.

     

    Lol Viney tagging Mitchell to 20 touches at half time. FMD. 
    Time to get serious. You either want to stamp your authority on this competition or you want to continue to be untrustworthy. 

    Opposition teams clearly know that they just have to try against us and it’s a contest. Clearly still have a softness or cockiness in our attitude. 
     

    having said that Hawks are playing out of their skins. Is it coincidence or do we always bring out the best in teams.

    • 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?
