Oliver's disposal inside 50 has been poor tonight, you're right.

That and always one too many handballs outside 50 when a long kick is the best option.

    Wow, Port ought to be flogged for effort since half time. Some of their chasing and defensive spread has been pathetic. 


    I'm not one to pot the insufficient intent rule, but that call against Gawn was plain incorrect.

    Oliver's game tonight has been a bit millionaire TBH. Everyone but him is just playing efficient forward moving handpass game. He is not on the same page, and we pay the price over and over.

    How do you get deliberate kicking towards your own goal?!

    This game is trash. 

    We haven't played that well at all.

    Just cause I was interested, in 2013 the Roos kept us to 28 points, our lowest score in that period although it was under Neil Craig. Admittedly they kicked 150 points against us but they also weren’t a prelim finalist the prior year. Just for ****z and gigs. 


    We're winning by 50 points having played 12 minutes of entertaining football

    Wow even Viney is doing the head-flick. That's poor, and the kick for goal got what it deserved.

    Still so much improvement in this team and we're undefeated after 4 rounds, beaten two of last year's preliminary finalists and only conceded 1 goal in 3 quarters and 11 minutes. Yet all the media will talk about is Carlton...

    To be fair Carlton's first 45 minutes are fire.

     

    Little cheapy there for Port.

    Think we've played some bruise free stuff this quarter 

    Seriously, was this team actually 2nd on the ladder 5 H&A games ago?

    Hinkley surely cannot survive this.

    • 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?
