    I know the free was soft, very soft, diabolical even. But I'm really annoyed that May allowed himself to get sucked into that BS by Franklin.. Completely changed the trajectory of this game.

    Last year our cornerstone was to respond to adversity. Can we do it this year? We will need to do it .... come on dees

    Viney doesn't look right. He's either rattled or injured.

    Petracca clearly not right.

    This.

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

     

    If you’re going to make that comment don’t just select your whipping boys. Viney has been fumbly, Hunt has missed so many easy handball targets. Harmes handballs to Viney when we have a 2 v 1 but handballs to a position where Viney has to check back in and we lose the quick breakaway

    If our midfield doesn’t lift this game is gone. 
    I will never understand how Gawn Viney Clarry and Trac don’t rip games apart. That is an A++ combo.

    Yep we had the ball no need to do anything.

    We're a goal down and often we haven't run games out very well. Not confident


    Lost a bit of respect for Franklin tonight. Pathetic.

    I think we'll be alright. We will consolidate this quarter with a blistering block of footy.. We're the better team, we're at home, we just need to get rid of the fumbles, play smart and utilise our i50 efforts. 

    Hold them accountable. No more freebies!

     

    Does anyone think Gus is a fail so far in the middle?  Send him back to the wing and bring Harmes in for a stint or is Harmes doing too well there?

    Nup can't blame May for that act.


    When you are leading on scoreboard, you shall no do something like what May did, clearly our whole team affected by By that. one mistake after another, we just couldn't settle down. Hopefully, the halftime break can help the players clean their heads. In Rd23 of last year vs Geelong, we were poor in 2nd quarter but played much better 2nd half and won just. Come on Dees, you can do much better!

    • 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?
