Please get Viney off the ball he is getting caught every time he takes possession move him forward do something to change the mix  They are negating our strengths

Goodwin mix it up a bit please

 

Might be time for a few Toby minutes.

As you said push Viney forward for a stint.  Viney has burnt us coming inside twice now.

If you arent doing that at least pull Viney aside and make him aware of where he needs to improve with some vision at half time.

Same with Kozzy & Lingers with their mark and decision making on the wing/HF.  Clean that schiit up FCS!  Can also go inside once in a while.  Straight ahead all the time is too predictable and easy to defend.

    Back 6 need to majorly switch on, start winning some more contest and clearance and lower the eyes inside 50. 
     

    Geelong fans make me 🤮

    I'm sorry but May's kick ins still do my head in. They are to predictable and nothing happens. Find another option.

    poor delivery into our forward line, just booting without looking who to. need to lower their eyes and make sure they hit a target. it would also be nice if a couple of these players could move the ball on quicker. taking too much time to kick down the line gives geelong lots of time to flood back.

    Watching the same game as me 😊

    First vs second at a venue with a capacity of 21,000, playing in the dark.

    The AFL is a disgrace.

    Ripping game of footy though. Loved Tracs goal.

    The fumbles.

    Mostly off handballs.... a few too many are also missing targets

    We're far below our best and still right in this.

    Cats will look to switch or use the centre corridor around eighty percent of the time and we need to counter this as a priority!

    We've got this if we block the switch and tighten our skills.

    One of Tracc or Clarry need to cut loose in the second half for us to step up.

    C'mon Dees, bury them, they'll get tired.

    8 possessions between Kozzie, Bedford and Spargo - unsustainable 

    Dare say we probably need another tall target.

    That’s 127 kick-in consecutively out to 55 metres on the left to the pack.  It’s a defensive type play.  For the past 14 matches.  And something different is … like others who play on. Pass. They run past and deliver to the half forward area.  Hmmmmm. Maybe try it just once.  


    On the plus side, we're in a much improved position compared to HT of round 23 last year...

    Maggot  no23 why do you hate MFC so much. Is it because they don't appeal often enough. Is it because you have been told to. Is it because you seem to be able to make sure that you bounce the ball that slightly is off line enough, three in a row, to favour one team over another, or is it just that you have no idea of distance or what holding the ball is.

    They keep going through the middle and we are just non existent there. Most of their goals so far have been them coming through the middle. Trac and Oliver keeping us in this atm

    This is very similar to the Dogs game late last year. The cat are playing their grand final just like the doggies did in round 19.

    What a rubbish ground ball spends half the time out of bounds and you see more out on the full than any other ground. Should have been bulldozed years ago

    Feels like they are playing in a phone box.

    • 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?
