Cheating by the umps

 

How in the world was that not a Frittata mark?

Umps back to their std form

STD - quite appropriate really.

    Is it super greasy, or have we forgotten how to mark a ball, or both? This is horrible to watch.


    Our form is not it. Let’s get this win and move on. 

    We've let them back into the game because of our dreadful finishing

    Second half will be a grind

     

    I'm pretty fu**ing [censored] off after that. 

    We have that much talent on the ground compared to them and are playing a weak brand of football.

    Really disappointing.

    Because he didn’t control an easy mark and was too busy looking where he was going to kick it before he took control of the ball

    We should be 30 points up.

    But no, once again our forward [censored] the bed when the opportunity presents itself.

    Our backline is saving our bacon and doing a tremendous job down back.

    Hope Steven May absolutely gives our forwards an absolute spray.

    Umps aren’t influencing this game. Our poor execution is though.

    Most frustrating game since the hawks draw.

    We really are so much better than them - but poor execution, missed simple handballs... ugh. So frustrating

    Terrible game of footy. We need to get back to basics, commit the body and just bank 4 points tonight. We’re in poor form so far this year, but like good teams do we’re grinding out wins despite not paying well.

    Trac having a bad night.

    Need more from Harmes, Kozzie, Friita and Tmac.

    Sw our best forward.

    Seriously I hope Goodwin tells them to get back to basics & get back to what we did well in that 1st quarter.

    We tried to do a bit to much that quarter when we just had to do the first option.

    It isn't pretty to watch

    Oh and kicking goals would be a good start

    Whoever said we’re playing like millionaires is spot on.

    Gotta get back to a more contested game style.

    It's like watching 10 years ago.

    100%. But we seem to do that in every 2nd quarter we play.

    Stop over possessing and get the ball moving forward.

    • 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?
