    It's a mystery to me why we make poor teams look good. We'll bank the win i'm sure but we should be better than this.

    Weve been doing it for 10 years +

    Love JV but I swear he hardly ever looks up when he kicks. The head is always down. Tough to hit targets when you’re not lifting your eyes.

    You can also put your house on him getting caught holding the ball at least once a game. Usually more. Awareness is shizen.

    That said I’m happy he’s getting his hands on the pill. His second half will be better.

    Awful quarter, so many players not contributing and seriously our goal kicking is dreadful.

    Only in respect to pressure. Their skill game is horrible, we’re just letting them scrap it away from contests. And as usual, we’ve given them a healthy sniff. We just hate to dominate….

    Disappointing. 

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

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

    3rd AND 4th please … right up to the final siren.

    Great defensive, backs to the wall stuff by us in that last 20 minutes, I thought there, except we are on top, we aren’t playing the Bulldogs, we are playing the likely wooden spooners FFS! WTF was that about?

    I’m a Viney fan, but FMD his disposal has been shocking. Two entries into forward 50 straight at a hawks player. 

    Well here is an idea for lazy Melbourne forwards when Viney has it, get in front, you know it will fall short.

    players getting ahead of themselves and not respecting the opposition and just how quickly teams can score. very typical melbourne.

    Sloppy

    Cocky

    And smashed at clearances.

    What is up with us? Freo mauled these guys last week. FREO! 

    We'll win this, but geez these BS halves give every other team in the comp a look into how to beat us, and until we stamp our authority in these games, teams will always turn up knowing they're a chance against us!

    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. 

    Viney is a liability. 

    Midfield mix was well balanced when he was not playing and Harmes was the tagged.

    To think we have 5 years of Viney rubbish..

    • 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.

      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?
