POSTGAME: QF vs Sydney

We lost clearance when it mattered, our tackles didn’t stick, we were undisciplined and gave away 3 goals from 50s,  our inside 50 method was horrible for most of the game again and we missed gettable shots.

    Outfought, outmarked, outrun and outcoached by a vastly superior team on the night. In a  nutshell, totally outplayed. Only plus was Steven May's superb job on Buddy. TMac surely has to be considered for next week.

    Beaten. 
     

    Beaten by intensity and a better coach on the night. 
     

    Every normal Avenue we usually go to had a swans player ready to cut it off: 

     

    We were beaten.

    let that sink in.

    Yep I've been at the G for many of those losses. I really hate losing to them here. Or anywhere obviously, but especially here.

    Back to the wing please.

     

    Absolutely. He just isn’t good enough with his disposal for the middle.

    2.57 on Sportsbet for the swans was blatant robbery

    if you didn’t load up on that you have rocks in your head 

    How's the bath water you're gulping down?

    Sydney were very, very good tonight. They just played one of those games. 
     

    We’ve played one of those games before. Just not tonight. 
     

    Onward and upward.

    May two huge momentum killers when 16 and 12 points up.

    Beaten by a better team, no need to panic 

    We were a little bit off outside of a couple of patches, very confident we will bounce back against the Lions next week

    lots of teams who win multiple flags have lost qualifying finals

    I feel sorry for the Victorian fans who had to wait 12 months to experience that rubbish

     

    Wish the boys had of thought about us poor Vic supporters. Very hard to watch. Wish Goody would've made changes in the second half. Having blind faith in the system doesn't always work.

    Not sure what much more Oliver could have done. Oliver was simply incredible.

    Sydney were simply awesome, no team would have beaten them tonight,

    But or forward line has some work to do otherwise our season ends next week or the one after.

    Gus did not lose us this game. Too many mistakes by too many, and too few putting in. Thank god for May and Oliver, or it would have been a walkover.

    Write the game off ... just a bad night.  Sydney were just too good and they taught us a lesson

    But we've got the double chance so all is not lost.  We live to fight another day

    We'll go with the same line-up I believe and I'm confident we'll beat Brisbane

    Do that and we are in a PF

    Oliver, May and Petty aside, we were weak, fumbly and unfocused. 
     

    I have said all season that our best is the best, but we have been at our best only a small handful of times this year. Today we were below average. Midfield was an embarrassment and forwardline performed as it has all year, badly.

    Going to have to beat the Lions and then Collingwood or Geelong to make it. and i'm guessing Sydney again in the grand Final.

    ANB was horrible, Melksham would have lost his spot, LJ was shocking. 

    Add Salem to that lot. Putrid disposal again. Bring Bowey back.

    Forward line disappears after half time need more structure and a CHF. Not a makeshift one like Gawn/Dogga.

    • 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?

      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?
