Now that's what we lack coming inside... a beautiful finish kick

 
 

Umpires aside we are struggling big time. Very same same. Lots of players out of form. Can't score easily and defence is starting to falter 


What about the free kick for Weightman just jumping on players heads and getting no where near the ball? [censored] [censored].

    And again, all our hard work undone because we don't man up. Bont free? Lever outdone by a third gamer?

    Neither of those two disposals that got to Bontempelli were handballs.

    Well done umpires. Pay [censored] frees all night so that our players can’t take a tackle and reset. 

    They've won. We should get ten frees in the last five minutes

    Hagen done bugger all all night and now kicks this. That's the difference, they've kicked the goals when they had to, we haven't


    Game on the line and our midfield gets touched up. Nothing more obvious.

    Holding the ball, then elbow into Salem’s head - ball up

    Harmes and Hibberd are hopeless.

     

    Yep they've both done very little all night. 

    Would have have had Harmes on Bont and Viney on Libba all night

    Another coaching fail.

    AND TO ADD SALT TO THE WOUND, HANNAN SEALS THE GAME.

    If we lose by a point the clearly the goal umpires are also in on the bet 

    Reload we will beat them if we meet again in the finals

    We were poor. Gave the dogs so much space

    Good mini comeback, but when the chips are down Bont is  king out of the centre


    Win or lose. Goodwin needs to lose his [censored] about the free kick count. Make it public. Times to do the Clarkson tactics. We are being shafted in a massive way.

     

    Fair few plodders out there for us tonight. Brayshaw, Salem, Harmes, Hibberd, Langdon all poor.

    That’s one win in the last month. Coaching staff needs to reset this group. Season is teetering on the edge now.

    • 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?
