    based on the first half you'd have to ask serious questions of brown, brayshaw, hunt, anb, harmes in particular

    i can't believe how badly our form has become for the last six, seven weeks

    absolute golden opportunity in 2021 being wasted

    Lacking composure again. The dogs are making us come at them and then forward running players like Bailey Smith are waltzing out of contests.

    Incredibly frustrating to watch.

    No doubt the dogs are getting a good run with umps too

     

    We are being umpired out of the top 4. Last week, and again tonight. HQ want Port and Brisbane top 4 and we are the unlucky ones.

    Brayshaw no prior tries to get rid of the ball free kick goal to Dogs. Umpire doesn't even know the rule.

    Dogs took their chances. We didn't. They're cleaner in possession where we fumble.

    Clarry immense, Trac and Kossie look sharp. Defensive can't really be faulted but too many others out for form

    We can still win this but it'll take a big effort and someone taking the responsibility to kick straight.

    No cutting edge in the forward line. Which team in this years finals would be scared of this forward setup? 

    Salem turning it over a fair bit tonight.

    We are dominating hit outs but not scoring from clearance at all.

    Langdons form has been scattered at best since he got concussed. I think we're missing his form from the first half of the season more than we realise.

    As usual dont take our chances. You cant have half efforts from players in these conditions (call out to Salem and Brayshaw). Happy to be second to contest and players generally not clean enough.

    Well, that will be remembered as the half of football when Ben Brown lost me as a fan. We really need to finish off our work. it's reminding me so much of our 2017-18 era where we worked incredibly hard and got no reward for it

    It's also hard to tell on the TV, but is anyone else thinking that Viney is supposed to be doing a negating role on their half backs and getting absolutely annihilated?

    15 seconds before, Smith threw the ball out of a tackle…..nothing. 

    Two set shots from 30m out to Brown in a big game and he chokes both times

    just not good enough. Deflates the whole side. Trac and Clarry working their [censored] off for nothing

    Thought we started to get the better of them in the second quarter then Brown misses a chance to bring us within 4. Killer when they convert afterwards.

    Yep I’m considering switching off,

    boring [censored] football. Can’t stand watching Umpiring when dogs are playing. 

     

    14-4 free kick count at half time. The club absolute needs to send a please explain the the AFL about the lack of free kicks paid for incorrect disposal/throwing.

    • 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?
