Max shepherded out of the ruck - no free.

13 - 8 plus so many not paid

Clear narrative from HQ. Just like the Lions game.


No need to chase this its gone, regardless we were playing in Adelaide only it will be on Friday Night.

2021 is hard enough without watching Melbourne embarrass themselves and fall apart like a cheap suit a week from finals.

    That was a blessed quarter for Geelong. They won’t do that again. Had a little help early in the quarter and then momentum had some fun. We dropped our heads badly. We need to make a respectable game out of it now though

    We’re getting put in a spliff. 
    Embarrassing with so much to play for 😩

    Heading for straight sets. 
    I’ve turned it off. I can’t watch this [censored].

    15 minute period has just ended our season. Yes we reload for finals, but with our current personal we cannot win a flag. Too much inexperience, and too much reliance on Oliver and Petracca. As soon as they’re not getting ball, our midfield disintegrates.

    Port will beat us in Adelaide next week. Who knows what happens from there.

    [censored] disappointing end to the season.

    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

     

    Their game plan is unchanged. Chip chip chip kick inside 50

     

    You'd think that a game plan that has stayed the same for the last 10 years might actually be defended by us

    So many pessimistic loser posts.

    It doesn't take much for anger and hatred to arise in football.

    Well this half will say a lot about the team and their belief.

    8 goals in a row in a single quarter. That is 2012 woeful.

    Well that was the worst 30 minutes of my week

    Just had to step out for a halfa, what did I miss??

     

     


    Need to just walk this one out and start preparing for next week, no point risking anything more on a lost cause. No point dwelling on this anymore cats just were on fire for 10 minutes. Won’t do it again if we play at some point and won’t be at gmhba 

    Edited by Garbo

    A shellacking will be no good for confidence heading into finals

    At the moment its an all round chitshow. We need some respectability from this game. Max, Trac, Clarry need to lead the way and defenders need to introduce themselves to each other. 

    Come on Dees ffs. Wake up

    Appreciate the hope.

    Just sad to see some blokes tonight as passengers.

    This was a chance to finish on top but sadly we dont want it enough.

    Our touted backline looks like a rabble.

    The lack of clearances in the middle is scary.

    We look like like a team thinking about the end of year os trip.

    Mainly TV but a bit of Hocking.

    One word. Uncompetitive when the finals heat comes on, and this IS a final. So much promise, so much hope, and bang. 7 goals in 10 minutes. That’s not just a fraudulent defence, that’s a contested embarrassment. In all honesty, who here thinks we can win the flag? And how?

    • 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?
