Birds of Tokyo about as bad as us in the second qtr. 

 

Need to tidy up stoppages and stop allowing Daniel and co to sit off the back of packs.

Few of of our players MIA and need to get into the game. Kozzy could be the spark.

Biggest issue is that we’re not lowering our eyes moving the ball into the forward line. 
Petracca, Viney and Oliver are all guilty

 

Well be ok....regroup settle.....

In Max we trust

Absolute rubbish. 

Yikes, you've gone hard there Webber.

Fritsch had 7 disposals against the Lions, 4 effective (and 4 goals, I concede). But his other three were ineffective.

He had 13 against the cats, with 8 effective (and 2 goals). So 20 disposal before today with 12 effective, or 60% de. His season average is 68%. At the moment he's got 6 with 3 effective, so 50%.

Poor may have been harsh, but he has not been as clean as he usually is.

Huge effort needed from here

we got ambushed in that 2nd Quarter 

Bulldogs gambled playing just on the edge and it paid off. throws for handballs, going to ground in tackles, push here and there. experience showing.

Pity Bont’s car didn’t break down on the way to this game.

 

our Belief will get us over the line.....

Need some Kozzie magic

 

Got to get it up forward this quarter by hook or by crook then he can get going. First quarter were mainly clean entries, second quarter it hardly got up there. Midfield must lift.

WHY AND HOW THE FUURG GOODWIN IS DANIELS BEING ALLOWED TO RUN AROUND UNTAGGED???

I seriously don't get this.  If this is left unchecked it will go down as one of the worst unchecked decisions in a GF.  Surely with all the guys in the box someone is seeing it and will make the move!!!????

Maybe it’s not meant to happen until it can happen where it should, at the MCG full of Melbourne fans.

Bont for the Norm Smith at this rate.

Well he took out his main contender with a head high bump (un penalised)

Clarry looks NQR now

Edited by monoccular

Who runs with Bont when he drifts forward? 


This quarter will be the either the best or the worst I've ever seen in my life.

I'm grateful for that at least .

Exciting times you pack of nutjobs.

Bless you all.

I feel sick right now. I just hope we can get our game together, the system has worked and can work again but we do need to stop the quick ball supply into their 50. 

And when we get it we must lock it in our 50. When we do that and get a look at goal, take it. Come on Demons, it is not over until it is over. 

I honestly want to vomit, this is not good. I think I can safely say everyone on Demonland is feeling very similar.

Our players need to perfect the art of ducking into tackles. Rewards you with free shots on goal that result in goals (per Lachie Hunter).

Cos they’re rushing the ball in and swarming the contest, then contesting better at ground level than us with receivers just off the contest. They’re first to the loose ball, and first to any contest, and in possession, their skills are slaughtering us. That’s their brand, and it works when you allow them to dominate the pressure game. We got rattled, started fumbling, kicking to no-one, and giving nothing handballs. Only chance we get back into it is contest harder and blitz the ball forward at every opportunity. Every opportunity.  It’s gonna take something special. Go Dees


Daniels presently heading for NS ... the Bont not far away either

Exactly what I’m thinking.

They had the bounce of the ball really go their way that quarter. That generally evens out.

In r19 we lost 9.11 to 13.7. We need to take our chances. Got to bring back that intense pressure from Q1 and grab this game by the scruff. 

Let's snag one in the first minute, start the quarter with some momentum, because it was very much against us at the end of Q2.

Go Dees!

  • 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.

    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?

    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?
