Such a predictable garbage ball movement from the half back. Kick long to a pack. Nobody marks. Geelong runs away with it. It’s pathetic. 
These old [censored] have made us look so second rate tonight 

We have become far too predictable

Top spot gone after that goal. With Blues, Freo, Lions and Pies to come, it’s going to be tough to finish top two.

make that....top 4

Gus terrible tonight.

Get him back to the wing, Jordon out, Rivers in.

 

Jordon was poor as was May

How many pressure acts by Kozzie have seen kicks smothered or skewed this season?

Yes he's a great chaser but I'm starting to think I'd rather see him with more of the ball and opposition chasing him than him chasing them most of the time.and don't get me wrong I'm a fan


Where's that switching been all night?  And of course as soon as we go forward we torch it

Leave these ferals to their marginal seat pork barrel BS stadium and disgusting water and get out of sleepy hollow

We should be thankful to finish top eight.

What can we learn from this?    Delivery into 50 needs a hell of a lot more precision and thought.  More precision clearing from defence too .

That's it. Too good!

Not really. Notice Geelong only pulls the fancy circus [censored] out when they play in this hole stadium? Melbourne too predictable. 

Lots of learnings from tonight’s game.

Lesson #1 - How to kick a winning score. It’s not entirely about defence

I really really hope Goodwin reviews this. Especially this final quarter. This losing margin is horrendous

Especially when May kicks out from a behind

Better tonight down at their dumpy ground, let them be cocky at the MCG

BB one good quarter then plays from behind most of the time for the remainder

Exactly. Sums up the night

We have had a number of players who were passengers to night   Just a bit dissatisfied 

July Premiers. Won't beat us at the G.

  • 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?
