It’s like we put money on the tigers.  We dominated and yet missed so many easy shots.

Everytime Neal Bullen gets it he turns it over.

His worst game for a long time. Only upside from here.

Bad kicking is bad football.

Time to reset and grind out four points.

Hope that’s not the attitude inside the rooms. Gotta make it happen.

No I'm surre it not. The intensity has been incredible. We have definitely not switched off.

 

Fritta needs to get on his bike. Vloustin is his opponent and is destroying him and us. 
Trac also really quiet.

What was Jackson doing there?! Could have easily made it to spoil

Got absolutely torn to shreds by Gus after it too.

I’m done with Weid. Move his [censored] to the dead pocket and tell him to play up and down that flank only.

Park BBB in the square and have the smalls rove off him


Need to show our normal third quarter!

Agree. Intensity, intent, all good. We just buggered up 10 easy shots at goal and it blew the wind right out of us when they go inside 50 once and goal immediately. 
Bad kicking is bad football. It’s honestly inexcusable for top quality players to miss these shots and once the rot starts it’s hard to stop because it becomes mental. 

Petty excellent. Defence doing their job. Just need to find our shooting boots 

 

It shows you the importance of goalkicking.  Players are professional and train or play 6 days a week but in general goalkicking is getting worse!!! 


Nathan Buckley’s trying to argue that Richmond have forced this scenario. He’s completely ignoring our inaccuracy. That’s the game right there. Appalling commentary from someone who should know better. 

 

Luke Dun(just)standere!! Waiting outside pack is not his roll. Rather have lost lambs tonight than September though.

My pork belly is looking superb.

  • 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?
