    Terrible performance should be utterly ashamed with that effort.

    All I'll say is we shouldve put them away in the first half but a long shot. Very poor. Some experienced MIA when it counted, you guys know who they are. P1ssed off

    Pathetic and shameful performance. 

    We've learnt absolutely nothing this year. Complete flat track bully until too teams up their pressure and we crumble like butter.

    Defence? What the actual [censored] was that crap?

    Cheating [censored] [censored] in yellow absolutely garbage.

    Multiple gifts from free kicks in Collingwood I50 from ridiculous calls.

    All over the ground just inconsistent decisions.

    [censored] that [censored].

    +93 disposals.

    +22 CPs.

    +20 clearances.

    +24 inside 50s.

    +1 extra day break on our opponent, who was coming off back-to-back six day breaks.

    That should be a 5-goal win, not a loss.

    This one burns. Pies 2-0.

    Goals win matches. Too much cute stuff and wasteful i50 entries. 

    Pies played out of their skins, took their chances, kicked way more GOALS than points and rode their luck. 

    We need to beat the Blues and the Lions to enter finals with momentum. At this rate I'd hate to play the Pies in the finals.

    Pressure comes on, we struggle.  Over handballed, terrible by foot and our forward line continues to be a massive issue.

    Our inability to put sides away when we are dominant is another big issue.

    I can safely say the good teams have us worked out provided they can execute. Dogs game all over again...overrun, sloppy when we get tired, overuse the handball and defensive pressure drops. Barely ran out the game for mine.

    Collingwood tackled with venom and intent our players did not. They played well for 3quarters but ran out of gas, very different from last year when were running over clubs in the second half. our defence was possible had the worst game of the year, so many goals from so few entries. a shame about the dropping or holding the ball rules, and possibly even throwing the ball not being applied consistently, but we had the chances too many simple shots at goal early on cost us the game.

    • 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?
