Half time analysis: we are doing well but poor goal kicking is letting them back in it. And of course nice cheating umpiring. 
 

May on one leg is a real real issue. Our backline will not cope if Geelong get going in the middle.

At least we are 29 up and not down, cats will have confidence now needs to be over by 3 quarter time 

 

Need to kick straight and get back on top in the middle and we have this

Last 5 mins bad

Agree. 

fantastic first half but poor last 5 minutes

38 points up then 3 misses !!! 


Typical give up a goal before 1/2 time. This is not over. 

Goody reset them.

A great 1st half though. At the start I'd take a 29 point lead

 

 

 

Danger should miss time (next year) for that dive. Cost us a goal, too. Filthy.

 

Win or lose I am so unbelievably proud of Jack Viney. What a game. Absolute finals footy efforts.

Hope Dangerflop is proud of himself with that effort.

No idea how a two hander full in the back in a marking contest is ok, but a couple of hands placed in the side in a ground ball contest is a free.

9.6 is not so bad

5.1 is 1 shot away from perfect

Decent start. Very positive. Will need to keep the pressure up and we should be OK. But that’s conditional!

Geelong look tired. 

We got this.

Centre bounce clearances are a bit of a worry. We've certainly learnt from our round 23 mistakes, but there's still too much space for my liking.

Great 1st half.
Break came at a good time.
Time to Re-set and bury these fools.


✅Viney 

✅ Gawn 

✅ tackling 

x costly Goalkicking misses Trac And Fritsch were 80/20 chances 

🤮umps - gifts for cats

Great first half, our kicking for goal was awesome, then we fell back to kicking points. Everyone is doing their job, just keep it going dees.


Need a better second half from Oliver. He’s been quiet by his standards. 

Last 2 goals costly kept them in the game. C'mon Dees one half left we can do it!

Fritsch was the worst. 30m dead in front, he kicks it game over, they get 2 and think they have a sniff. I can't stand how Dangermouse can dive and get a free and I dislike Hawkins so much.

Viney - epic.

Lat 5  minutes - tired

May - get him off

Danger - should be fined for staging

Gawn is continually being held - no frees

Me - loving this but nervous.

  • 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?
