Try Toby in the middle, as he hasn’t done a thing and should be fit and fast, if they can give him the ball at stoppage. 

 

Apart from continually letting Port move it from full back to half forward with a series of uncontested small kicks (which is making me yell at the TV screen) our contested ball play is killing Port. And funny how good BBB looks when a kick goes to his advantage!

21-14 hit outs but only 19-31 clearances. Nothing changed from last round. Still a big problem.

Doesn’t help that we are missing the best clearance player in the game.

We never seem to have any fwds on the goal line. Infuriating

instead we keep them around the 50m mark to try and keep the ball in the f50

 

This is barely watchable.

Tmac hasn't torn this season apart but since he's been out our fwd line isn't functioning as well.

Clearances 19-31. Ffs. Again 

Haven’t won a clearance with Jackson in the ruck. Has been horrible with his connection.

 

I thought for a year now that Port had cleaned up their act, but my faith has been restored, they are still the same mob of dirty bast$#%@ that they always have been, and, when you get the imprimatur of three maggots to push, pull, punch and scrag,  well it's all go, isn't it.

Kozzi with 9 touches is BOG at the moment

There is a bloke missing for us.

Stoppage clearances 22 to 11 at 3/4 time Need to lift

I know be pessimistic is a right of passage on this site but OMG Kossie is so far the best little man in comp

Let's not forget how many players have missed games thus year due to injuries  and protocols.

You can't just waltz in after and absence and play your best by any means.


Sparrow zero awareness ... my god

Melksham wtf


Ahhh Sparrow!

 

Fair play Melks. I doubt there'll be a game 202 but your effort today can;t be questioned

  • 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?
