Hand is nowhere near it in that second shot....easy goal decision

Sadly his* hand was near it !! 

🤣

*review person

 

Smith has been super. 

BBB is our number 1 key forward

Still amazed Bowey is a 3rd gamer he is so clean and composed. 

 

Looks like some players have decided to take the bye this week

BBB - score review.  What was the call?  Cant see evidence of touch.   

P1ssweak technology AFL.

Just do something about it Gil you prancing polo pony

I'd say the sound was the players hand hitting bb's foot but bc the video was so pathetic they couldn't isolate it

AFL is a multi billion$ industry and we put up with crap technology

Why is may out please?

General soreness be back next week.

Backline needs to work out there structure better to many loose players, mids need to lift round the ball, crows getting to many touches, fwd line good work from limited chances 

Edited by Garbo

Big Ben Brown is the forward we have been screaming out for...

Thank you footy gods..

 

Funny how BBB was one of my most hated players in the competition 12 months ago and now one of my favorites for doing the exact same thing.

Fritsch is a dumb footballer sometimes

Needs to pull his finger out - would be the logical out for TMc .

Already behind VDB medical sub in DT points -3.

Not surprising we started slow. Lucky to be in front. Jackson is pure class we have to do everything we can to keep. Potentially best player on our list and he only 19

Clearly we are semi resting Oliver and Trac. They’re barely in any of the centre bounces. 
Playing with fire. But also understandable. 

Midfield possessions

Adelaide 30

Melb 13

ffs they're lazy sometimes

Needed the extra pre season though Chook.  Multiple leads, strength in contest and ground ball follow up.  Might play in our favour now touch wood.

Good point. He's in better physical shape now than he was then, so probs a good move all said.


Picket , Fritsch, Petracca and Brayshaw 3 touches between them….ugh! 

The obvious question is, why don’t we bring our pressure game every opening quarter? The obvious statement is, Joel Smith has been our best so far. 

Not bad.

We’re absorbing the pressure well and using BBB as we should.

Fritta seems to be stoned.

I’ll take leading at quarter time considering that was one of our worst efforts so far, poor defensive pressure, loopy handballs and when we did kick the ball we tended to just bombed it with the wind. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Mids need to lift definitely! Run is also down. Let’s see what happens this quarter.


Mids getting taught a lesson. Harmes jogging after blokes. So frustrating

Ah that's right, there's no holding the ball, and there's  no illegal disposal...

We are playing a lot more through the Langdon wing today which explains why Gus isn’t having a lot of it. 
Nice to see Ed with some touch.

Brayshaw still doing good things without the footy, but everyone else (particularly Kozzy and Fritsch) need to lift.

  • 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?
