our disposal in the forward 50 has been absolutely crap

 

Woey’s kicking is poor. Has other attributes hopefully just an off day?

It almost fees too congested in there 

finally took a good kick from TMac 

Bedford’s pressure is elite. Creating so many turnovers. 


I wonder if Sydney flooding our forward line and then slingshots forward will be the 

Tactic for Friday? We are finding it difficult to hit targets and score. 

TMac is moving extremely well. He might not play on Friday night but I think he will play AFL finals now. 

We look like we are playing to lose. Should be at least 5-6 goals in front.

Yes that looks obvious.  I think they did the exact thing in our AFL round 12 match.  Papley got out the back on a few occasions.

First half, Baker, Rosman, Howes and Laurie MIA.

Woewy and Smith poor disposal today.

Dunstan plenty of possies but with most up in the air going nowhere.

Havent noticed Turner and Tomlinson making mistakes.

Chandler no influence.

But we are leading.

Hopefully above players all lift.

Brown and Tom doing well up forward.

Weid actually doing well in the ruck and around the ground against 4 giants, Sinclair, Ladhams, McNamara and Amartey 

 

 

 

Too slow on the transition from defence and way too many high dump kicks into the forward line.

Add in bad inaccuracy (Swans have also missed some easy ones)

Have we had a switch of play all day

Time to use that mindfulness training, forget about our poor disposals and to start performing when under pressure. 

 We have to put goals on the board when we have the opportunities. Misses keep them in it.

 

best game I've seen Luke Dunstan play for us

  • 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?
