Bloody terrible umpiring is costing us this game.

 
 

What’s going on with Viney’s disposal, he has missed 3 easy targets.

Definitely one who only plays well when the rest of the team does. Cannot rely on him to turn the tide

Only a handful in the team could turn the tide. Useless comment.

Dixon smoked Gawn there. Read it well.

Can we please sub Tom Sparrow out for Dunstan.

Absolutely killing out forward thrusts and disposal 

Not sure that'd be much of an improvement re disposals

Umpire sucked in there, Max doesn't get the ball back to him it's fine but Dixon basically drops the ball and gets a 50.

Nah, 4 years ago he gobbles that up. 

Yeah but right now they kick it better, he marks it. He played for a different team 4 years ago so don’t really care what he could do then. 

We work so hard for our goals this quarter but yet we continue to cough it up so easy to Port Adelaide scoring the other way.

50 was there. If you impact player's ability to play off mark then you infringed. Harsh but there.

Zero desperation

    Good acting Charlie

    True but wouldn’t have happened if Trac hadn’t shanked his kick. Too many errors.

    Dixon has always got a good run from the umps

    Hibberd has been good since he returned.

    • 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?
