This is embarrassing now. Losing is fine. I have expected it was coming for a while, we really haven't been that good for a while but this is not a proper loss. We've had no answers and there have been a lot of passengers today. This isn't panic stations obviously but other teams will be looking at our lack of response with interest.

We've clearly got underdone, gassed and injured players. We had two soft lead in games. The Dockers have been amazingly switched on. 
We learn what we can, regroup and come out firing next week.

Unfortunately this is the first top 4 side we’ve played all year and they killed us. So you have to question the result. 
Teams have shown that they know how to play us. This is the first side that has been good enough to do it. And they did it convincingly.

    been brewing for a few weeks.
    havent been out of 2nd/3rd gear, lots of turnovers in the forward half and garbage going inside 50.

    finally play a team that can challenge us and we get smacked.

    not the end of the world, only finals matter, but they better start improving soon

    No mate, we gifted the game from centre clearance. We dominated in the 2nd so what the heck are they doing in the third?

    On top of that once Freo caught up with us in the score you have to do something, Goodwin not good enough today

    Credit to Freo. They’ve smashed us in every conceivable way. They’re a good team. 

    This is a wake up call for the players. Yes we’ve got some injured to key players, but the ones out there got smashed in the contest. Bugger all tackles and out worked both ways. Hopefully we get some players back and can reset. We’re still a game clear on top of the ladder and in a great spot.

    • 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?

    • 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?
