    95% of all Ed Langdon mistakes take place as he's doing [insert thing here] over the boundary line.

    Ed having his worst game for the club.

    We look better with Jackson in the ruck and Gawn up forward.

    I think Gawn is getting in Brown’s way. 
    We need to isolate one in the goal square.

    How much will you all pay me to invent a Dermott Brereton mute button?

    I’ll pay you double if you invent a Dwayne Russell mute button as well.

    Poor effort tonight. Defensive pressure and blocking access to the corridor have been atrocious.

    Trac and Jackson have kept us in this. If we didn’t have so many injuries already there would be some poor performing players ripe for dropping.

    We just need to get the four points tonight and move on without anymore injuries.

    Suns giving a lot of cheek they are playing at their absolute best…I reckon we are going about 60%

    I will take the score line. Suns are good.

    I’d rather Riv and Gus weren’t now under injury clouds, we are running out of backmen fast

    Hunt having a mare. Needs to regroup and refocus

    Based on very small sample size, Carlton and GC will be the big improvers this year

    We are barely going and have at least 50% of the team who have given us less than nothing. 
    Fritta donuts, Harmes, Viney, Langdon putrid. Hunt shocking. Gawn needs to get going too. 

     

    Credit where credit is due, the suns are giving it everything and pushing us. The key for them will be maintaining this intensity whilst cleaning up their disposals and decision making.

    Trac, Oliver and Jackson look too much for them to handle though.

    • 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?

      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?
