Out coached and that’s all there is to say. Watching it live, every avenue we go down that usually works is met with Swan pressure. 
 

We’ve been beaten in the coaches box.

Better in every facet of the game, the Swans. We are their bunnies, only way to put it. 

coaching... gameplan

 

Disappointing but don't give up the season. Richmond lost the Qf in 2020 and won the flag.

Sparrow going up to spoil Jsckson who's going up for a contested mark sums up our night.

That nonsense started early

Yeah he's off this year completely.

Bowey would have done more all game.

This was a [censored] poor performance tonight, really disappointed 


Tmac in. Melk logically out. Argument can be made for Brown, maybe.
Bowey in. Salem out.

My biggest worry is we haven't played well on our home ground for most of the year.

Get him in next week Tmac we need structure.

Melk out done, 2 shots on goal 45 degree angle shots crapped the bed our forward line is a mess.

Yea fooled us all by playing 2 great games out of the last ordinary 2 years.

But sadly nobody to swap him with.

To think some were worried about Franklin

 

May did a brillant job on him.

 

we can't buy goal!

Such a dumb move to drop Bowey for Salem. Neal Bullen could not possibly play again next week, surely? Worst player on the ground all night.


Trac injured from Franklin tackle.

Outmuscled and got sucked into crap they didn't need to get involved in (May, Harmes)

 

Well I guess that's why we worked so hard to get the double chance.

We didnt look right from the start.

Way too many passengers tonight.

Hats off to Oliver and the backline. Great game from them.

  • 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.

    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?
