    I’ve not seen us looked that gassed before. We had nothing left to give.

    Just a lesson in football. Brisbane, like Sydney last week, were just far superior to us. Luckily we got a good start but that wasn’t enough. We have the cattle but without good coaching it’s pointless.

    Cannot begin to express what a letdown the last two weeks were. We just didn’t concede a huge run of goals last year.

    Cue in the rack at half time cost us!!!

    Doing the same thing every single week for 2 1/2 years will eventually fail.

    This has been a pretty pathetic second half of the year, regardless of whatever niggles come out during the week

    This looked like several other games before, start well and get a lead and then fail to score for a long period. It was classic Melbourne of 2022.

    A very weak response when in the defensive and couldn’t get goals to stem the flow. Such a poor performance for when it mattered most.

    So many out of form players, need a few fresh legs in.

    Probably the most predictable outcome ever. Had all the hallmarks of a vintage Melbourne loss at quarter time.

    Surprisingly not that disappointed. Would rather go out tonight than watch us lose against a well-rested Geelong next week.

    Looking forward to some good off season analysis

    So many learnings

    It's not been fun following the Dees this year I'm afraid

    Poor selection, poor coaching, poor application. Totally unacceptable to be regularly run over in the second half. Sparrow, Rivers, Spargo, Jackson, Hunt not up to it. Pickett’s I’ll discipline is a real problem. So much for all the talk about wanting to perform for the fans at the G - yadda, yadda, yadda.

    Failure of a season.

    Every single loss was the same where we get out to a lead of around 20 to 30 points and then get complacent and stop trying to win.

    No imagination with team selection or style.

    Half the team in on reputation while Casey had an all-time great saeason.

    So embarrassed, what a disgrace, Goodwin can learn a lot from resting players earlier IMO.

    Umpires in last quarter 

    50 against Pickett up other end goal

    soft holding to McStay - goal

    Bailey pushed Hunt square in middle of back - goal

    Andrews chops Brown arm 15 metres out - no free

    just to close out game umpire free against Lever not being tackled and 5Om to gift it

    Umpires pathetic influenced result

    Lots to it. We were cooked, selection maybe exacerbated it, game plan etc etc.

    Honestly think we'll be a lot better next year with improved fitness and luck with injuries.

    On to the trade and draft board we go...

    It really is inexplicable it has to be linked to fitness preparation. But the complete lack of football common sense and flexibility is astounding. Seriously we are back to the bad old days. Massive chance we slide down the ladder.

    • 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?
