If Brown and Trac find something we win this well. 
Lobb is such a gun. What a shocking game for May to get injured. Especially with Buddy next week too. 

Buddy could have to answer to the MRO.

    With no May down there, Lobb the worry.

    Just going to have to stop the ball getting down there. Gawn or Jackson may have to help out down there

    Hope so but at least we have Tomlinson ready to go. He'll be ok

    Much better quarter but once again inaccurate kicking.

    Ideally we need goals and behinds at a ratio of 2:1 not 1:1 or worse

    Strong third quarter and ease through the fourth


    Our tall forwards are indeed a worry. None in good form.

    At worst, we could kick in long and high, they just need to bring the ball to ground and let Kozzie and Toby go to work

    Will be hard to hold a mark in the 2nd half. Ground is dewy.

    Freo will come out hard in 3Q so the boys need to be ready for it. Game is nowhere near over. 

    Wish Tommo was the sub but he’ll get his chance next week.

    TMac has been OK of late, shame he's not out there (in more ways than one as he could have covered for May if necessary).

    4-6 we kicked that quarter. Wasted some opportunities

    At least we’re consistent 🤦


    Its an admirable thing to do by the club to get Melk to 200 games.

    One would think he would play a blinder but far from it.

     

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Clarry excellent. Maxy, Viney and ANB very good

    Can see why Freo are a low scoring team. Great defensively but very stodgy ball movement and poor accuracy

    Just need to keep the scoreboard ticking over. 65-70 points is more than enough to win today

    That's a big part of the problem though. We're really kicking it on top of their heads a lot this year. Thought we turned  a corner last week, some good signs with forward delivery. Hopefully it's better in the second half.

    Not that that's the only problem of course, but it's the main one IMO.

    People laughed when I said pick van rooyen. Better than either forward below the knees

    Our two key forwards aren't worth a bumper so far. 

    What’s the going price for a bumper these days Old Dee?

    What was our adjustment in the backline?

    Good question I have been trying to work that out.

    Wow! This is one powerful team!

    What I like:

    Viney: In full beast mode.

    Bedford: that speed is mesmerising.

    Kozzie!!!!

    Max turning it on in the second quarter with his own clearances.

    Petty filling in for May.

    Lever doing great.

    Things to work on:

    Petracca is quiet.

    Rivers has made a few blues.

    Jacko could do a bit more especially with Lobb being so dangerous.

    • 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?
