Probably ribs after that spear tackle.

If that bloke doesn’t get weeks for that then the AFL has learnt nothing. Those are the kind of things parents see and think ‘I don’t want my kids playing that sport’.

 

not winning as well as some teams against the bottom teams, we seem to be kicking a lot more points. is it that our players now think they have a bang at goal from anywhere, compared to the more team oriented style we have against top teams?

Just a side comment. Just on half time Cam Moooney implied that (Zurhaar)? Got pushed into the fence intentionally. He clearly tripped and/or lost his balance and fell into it. Why say stuff like that? [censored].

Lots of fumbling, handling errors and dropped marks. Frustrating. TMac, Kozzie and Fritsch looking good.

Some unfortunate casual, carefree stuff from Petracca. Oliver is a star.

We have also got some terrible free kicks given to to us - that 50m is a disgrace to our game. 

Please, please, please do NOT play Dunstan again. I would rather see a young kid have a crack and make mistakes than a mature player show us what poor VFL football looks like.

Goldy and Xerri doing a really good job nullifying Max. 

North having a red hot go and finally showing what system they are trying to play. 

I much prefer Doggas work at the ruck today. He can't be matched once the ball hits the deck.

For me it's not that. We look like we're in minus 1st gear while North are having a real crack. The first goal we got where we actually had some nice team play was Kozzie's. We're junkyarding around, we need to raise our game 

North is throwing everything they can at us. Good teams don't play to the opposition's tempo and style. We do what we do. North has more energy this week than any other game this year. I wonder why? 20 points flatters them. Even with their effort. We're currently 4-5 goals better despite seeming like they're "beating" us.

You guys want to win 32 on the trot and have a perfect year? Smashing North is small beans compared to that so let's keep an eye on the big picture hey?

He's a former cat isn't he? Not surprised he makes such dishonest comments

Crude and Neanderthal x2

North are trying to intimidate us physically. If Jack was in the side, he would not tolerate it, so who will step up and make a stand?

I could be at the wrong game. I'm watching some team called 'Narrm' play.

Correct. 
I am just spewing that we will come out of this game with some significant injuries because Norf have nothing to lose and if May does what he wants to and breaks some skulls we will be down an AA full back for 2 months.

People forget that this isn't the Murray league where spankings are common.  Winning at this level is never easy.  No matter what the ladder position

True but Brisbane managed to do it a few weeks ago against nth

North trying out the west coast game plan. Congest areas and try to hurt us. Then get the ball and all out attack no matter what. Makes for hard to watch football. We’re always going to get more frees when teams play this way against us.

1. We miss Viney for his mental toughness and driving standards

2. Dunstan has always been a poor kick, why are people surprised?

Its his decision making and handballs so far ...gets to where the ball is and gathers but i reckon he's missed about 70% of all handballs so far.  And he's had a few.  Decision making a bit slow for this level as well....drawing pressure on everyone including himself.

Improved a tad towards the end of the second quarter.

Some player's conversion rates leave alot to be desired.  About half of them were relatively easy and should've gone through

Exactly, we're allowed to be slightly aggrieved at things like this without being branded pessimistic jerks.

  • 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?
