We have literally no chance of winning the flag if we keep playing like this. 

 

We must give more frees away for goal than any other clubs. Brown flopping around like a fish on the deck of a boat.

One dimensional. Teams worked us out long ago now. Too late to implement a different game plan or get in good coaching now. Wasted year.

 

Entries inside 50 atrocious as usual.

 

Free against Gus was wrong. McKay kicked him in the leg. No tackle.


JJ needs a spell, hasn't been right for weeks. High pressure game at the moment but it will open up in the second half. Hopefully in our favour.

Clearly still loading.....

 

 

P.S. we are in front 7-4 in free kicks.

😬

We need a forward line.


Haven't come to play yet, hope Goody has a rocket for them. No lowering the eyes, expecting others to do the work, don't even know what the corridor is.

Ben Brown can not mark a football. Runs under it 3/4 of the time and misses the other 1/4. 

1.2 from 13 inside 50 is pretty damning.  But we don’t have a forward connection problem of course, do we. 

Brown needs to play in front, can't mark from behind and oppo give away free kicks when he's in front

I know Langdon likes his wing but mix it Up. JJ ends up doing all the work taking hits, while Langdon racks up kms

bombing in to forward again       

 

Playing like this, it doesn't matter where we finish up next week, we'll just be making up numbers. We keep kicking to the wing, but we have hardly anyone who can actually take a mark or kick the goal when they do, and we have Max who doesn't know where the goals are anymore. I hope they have written "buy a good for forward" and a proper forward coach on the whiteboard. 

The window for "we'll come good" is getting smaller by the second.

Ugh, what a waste.

  • 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?
