I really dont understand why they are stepping around us and breaking tackles so easily.

Are we tired?

Not going 100%. 

There is a reason I wrote what I wrote in my first post in this thread. 😖

Anyone actually have faith in this team?

yes

Some of you need to stop posting. 

 

Just lucky to score any goals before half time


What's the bet Brown doesn't take another mark for the game.

Tmac?  Any danger of getting involved?

not to mention statistically we’re a greater chance of winning the granny from 3rd than 1st. All part of the grand plan 😎

Max shepherded out of the ruck - no free.

13 - 8 plus so many not paid

Counts for little tonight. I’m glad that Scott has shown his hand so we can work on how to defend against them in finals if needed
 

no injuries please

well beat Port next week

We fumble at ground level....they get clean pick ups and first use

Weak as [censored]… umpires were shocking 

it’s horrible .. but in a way it’s a great wake up pre finals. 


Midfield MIA! 

Just way too many players unsighted

Totally embarrassing. 

Leadership complete failure. Midfield and defence got tore a new one. No one willing to put a body on Dangerfield or Hawkins.

This is Preliminary final 2018 stuff. When the heat is on we just capitulate.

Mentally weak.

 

We were off from very early in this game IMO. That says the boys had their minds on other things.

I wonder what it could be...

Ok that was our worst quarter of the season. Don’t care about the result now, let’s just win the second half and have some sort of form going into next week

  • 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?
