Not playing well and we have lots of guys that are way down on form - Trac, Viney, Melk , Kozzie, Gus …

and a goal down - we need a big lift from these guys asap 

May has been good but honestly to get sucked into Franklin is just so dumb 

That was on the ump.

    STOP FUMBLING THE BLOODY BALL!!!!!!!! CHRIST ALMIGHTY 

    This.

    Same usual suspects in Sparrow and Nibbler who just fumble and cough up the footy so easily.

    Max’s disposal has gone right off. Too many out on the full. That free to Franklin and the subsequent 50 was blatant cheating and the stupid maggots fell for it.

    Swans killing us at the stoppages, sweating on us when we have possession, and building their attack off the turnover. We only win this if we take ownership of the contested pressure game. Just gonna fumble and fiddle our way to a loss otherwise. Longmire is a frankly brilliant coach. 

    No Goodwin is a lousy match day coach

    Not going the way I wanted but it is entertaining. I feel we can come back. I hope they regroup

    Dees playing one spare back so swans have tge extra at stoppage.

    So i dont know why we don't stop with the handball (its bit slippery) and bang it fwd. 

    To that poinr for some reason we are holding it back for more numbers to get back into our fwd 50 rather than go quick to one on one.

    Sound idiotic? Does to me. 

    Blocking free kick against Melk wasn't even looking at the player. Swans player ran into him.

     Viney has been one of the worst offenders.

    Not enjoying this at all.!!!

    Swans can win the flag. They are exceptionally well drilled and coached. Our midfield has been super disappointing.

    I really don't want to play the Lions again next week. Surprised that we are still short in the live betting, Swan still over $2.

    Absolutely. Nibbler had two chances and two misses. He’s had 4 missed tackles in 1st half.

    Melksham needs to lift

    He’s playing on Patrick Mcartin FFS and preventing him from peeling off to intercept 

    oh I forgot many of our supporters are stats driven

    All five were well off the pace in that first half.  Never seen Viney lose his feet so often.

    ANB doing ok or?

    Havent been watching closely but what do ppl think of Sparrow's game?

    Yep. Umps have no feel for the game. Or working eyes.

    • 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?
