    that quarter couldnt have gone much worse. everyone needs to pull their collective fingers out otherwise we on a hiding here

    We are not just Max Gawn. This is inexcusable. A poor showing from a team full of guns, supposedly pushing for a premiership.

    I can’t recall a worse quarter from us since 2020. 

    6 goals conceded (the Dogs probably kicked 6 in a quarter in Round 1 last year but it would be rare). Something like 15-0 inside 50s in the last 10 minutes. And I reckon all 6 of their goals have been from stoppage. Brutalised in clearances 16-6, losing CPs to boot. Not to mention fumbly and resorting to long kicks with no obvious target. 

    Let’s hope it was a mulligan quarter.

    I really hope a lot of people learned something today. You might want to be a pig-headed arrogant footy fan, you know? The type you despise so much in Geelong and Hawthorn fans. But this doesnt mean everyone else does. It's a two team sport and treating an opposition with caution is not a weakness.

    Brisbane have their tails up and we are still on the plane it seems. Could get ugly.

    Will be interesting to see if anyone wants to stand up for us.

    The fact that I don’t even care about how pathetically our midfield is playing, tells you how crushed I am about Gawn. This season could well be over.

    Boy that is a shock, we look very second rate, second to the ball everywhere, except Lever. Oliver, Tracc, Viney look pedestrian. WTF is going on? Grundy needs to step up this quarter!

    It looks like a suspected medial injury for Max Gawn, given he has ice on the inside of his knee.

    Not ideal, but certainly better than a potential ACL injury.

    Hardly any wins in the center from our rucks.

    All taps from Brissy at center bounces towards their goal and there's no defensive sweeper on that side for us.

    Allowing Brissy players to get it out of the middle too easily.

    Energy so far is right off.  Second to the ball.  Multiple Brissy players at the drop with Melb players trailing behind.

    Not looking good at all in the middle in particular.

    Silly tackle from Rivers on the first gamer!  Amature stuff.

    Plenty of time to turn this around but not sure given the very ordinary start and flat feel from the armchair.

    At least three obvious holding the ball / incorrect disposal decisions not given.  The ducking the head one wow!

    Umps a joke for stopping play for Zorko

    Surely a trainer on field for an uninjured player (if you can call zoeko that) is a fifty. 
    umps have been very poor so far - didn’t see a duck and paid high, then did see a duck but didn’t adjudicate the prior opportunity correctly, can’t do centre bounces straight up. Bailey tackled and just dropped it, Cameron tackled and bounced ball on ground. 
    But we are playing horrendous too which wouldn’t change the result of a very poor quarter.

    Our performance so far reminds me of Richmond v Carlton, but worse.

    Is it only me or Brayshaw looks like he takes too many clangers inside our 50?

    • 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?
