    Why is it so congested in our forward line!

    We move it slowly, so the blues flood back

    As good a game as you will see as far as pressure goes.

     

    History says we lose this.

    Can he even jump?

    Easily losing a ruck contest to Silvagni was quite telling

    I mean he did play on because no-one was on the mark, he just happened to be out of bounds at the time

    Cripps did it earlier. All G said ump.

    We just need to limp across the line. This has been really, really hard. Blues are up and about as they should be, finals at stake, Paddy wants to be there. If we do not bring it this quarter we can forget about anything in September.

    I am dead serious, another game we have led at every change. If we drop this then we clearly have a mental issue at play. We need to get over the line, the world of good that will do mentally.

    What an [censored] and an expensive run onto the ground by that moron

    Biggest cheer of the night 

    Gap between our best and worst is too far. We look brilliant one moment and then nuff-nuffs the next. Apart from Melksham, our F50 play still lacks class. 

    Jake Lever needs to stand up if we are going to win this.

    what was our kick out strategy with 50 seconds on the clock ?

    Sparrow was dead set all by himself on the 50 in the corridor. FMD this kick in play is just infuriating. If you can my hit that kick with no pressure, what the f are you playing afl for.

    Just quietly Lever has cost us 3 goals. 

    He can panic at times, but love his courageousness and continually backing himself in. We could do with more of his self-belief.

    We have a 2 day minus travel break on this mob, we seriously should be running over the top of them. No point peaking fitness in the last week of September if we aren't there

    Gus is playing so well

    Practically marking his own kicks.

    And kicking them into the air without looking and most are turnovers.

    You won't believe it. Long Down the line on the members wing.

    Although that's the time to do it

    • 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?
