thought langdon was ok

5 possessions 

I felt it didn’t look like a Melbourne game the first qtr. We got a few flukey goals and a couple from first half turn overs, we didn’t get too many through our conventional method which was a worry.

 

Our kicking for goal has been crap again - Dogs got a couple of lucky ones in comparison.

Gawns shot looked a goal. We  must have had a crap camera angle.

Petracca , Salem , Max , Brayshaw trying their hearts out.

Why Does our defense all of a sudden look so fickle?

Gee May is a liability, not flying for the ball, caught well behind, fumbling the ball. 

That fumble in the first quarter was a shocker too. He doesn't look right at all.

Why didn't we even see a review of that? It looked like a goal on the broadcast. Very confusing.

I jumped off the couch when he kicked it looked like it went straight through. Gawny thought it was a goal.

Fritsch has been poor the whole finals series. His kicking inside 50 has been shaky, keeps trying a kick running parallel to the goals and has missed it multiple times.

Seriously? He kicked 6 goals in the first two games of the finals series. He was poor this quarter but to say that he's been poor the whole finals series is just wrong.


The Melbourne of 2021 turns it around and regains control this quarter. But Grand Finals are different. It is definitely the Dogs' game to lose at this point.

May carrying his injury? Whatever it is, he isn't himself.

We're winning this one.

Really. They could have kicked 10

And we SHOULD have kicked 7 in the first.

Can't let Bont mark uncontested, surely someone can get a fist on the ball

Petty is our only tall defender, May looks injured and Lever has been really scrappy. Also, we don't have Smith as an emergency to cover May. TMc hasn't fired a shot up forward. If May can't play we need to get him off, move TMc forward and put JJ on the tag. 


Huge effort needed from here

we got ambushed in that 2nd Quarter 

I feel sick right now. I'm scared to see what happens next, especially if the Dogs get the first goal in Q3.

Lever is sharp.We're gonna do it.

It’s all on the line this quarter 

Have we got the balls for it ?

How was the pie?

But yes. Premiership quarter coming up. Carn Dees


Need some Kozzie magic

 

Our wings have been ordinary

Our fwds are struggling

Our defence is in complete disarray

Our mids are missing

Grounds balls are being won by the dogs

Viney and harmes need to clamp someone.  TMac WTF?

Goodwin has an opportunity to show the world what he made of. 

 

Our leaders need to lead

 

 

We missed some great opportunities in the first quarter too, that really burns.

 

It should be easy to stop Bont. He is setting up space to run into to mark. Just need to block it.

I feel like we are doing nothing to counter the Schache tag. What should happen is May should line Schache up and run right through him at the start of Q3. Make him think twice

And which results would be most favourable for the Demons if we can manage to turn our season around?

  • 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?
