Oliver’s last three kicks to unmarked Brisbane players.

    Chandler, TMac, Brayshaw are not performing at the required level. I'd risk to say they are not in our best 23.

    So we finally win a clearance ...the ball is dumped out of the middle with seconds to go yet not one tall or medium forward is sitting in the hole at HF!!??????????????????????????????

    Trash. This entire game needs to get in the [censored] bin. 

    Maybe time to step away from the game and computer.

    Stop fumbling, stick tackles and outwork them…

    We won that quarter.

    Make no mistake. They are only in front because structurally we are missing our 2 most important players. Max’s injury really deflated the team, but they fought back that quarter. We are such a tough team.

    This next half is going to show how strong our character is. Everything that could’ve went wrong did.

    Forget about that first half & come out strong.

    I think everyone of Oliver's kicks have gone straight to a lions player.

    Harmes needs to loft but he's certainly not alone.

    Bbb trying and doing very well.

    Jv isn't fit. 

    Come on Tmac show some leadership.

    Why ask Viney about Max. Why not just stick a knife in his heart.i.

    I expect the skip to motivate the boys at HT. He doesn't want to dampen their fighting spirit.

    So many fumbles, no control at all, a couple of players a pass and that’s about it. Very lucky to be this close. 

    Boy, Viney was [censored] in that little interview.

    Our blokes are playing bruise free, jumping at shadows tonight

    Not having a tall HF sitting in the hole for the center bounce 666 is unforgivable

    We CAN win this. We have played like trash and are still within 20, and even won that quarter. If we come out with the right mentality, firing and give these bogans NOTHING.

    Not trying to make an excuse but I am just wondering how much the hard surface of the ground is not being handled well by us. A surface that they would not have trained on or played on. We seem to be missing / not picking up the bounce of the ball

    What a disgraceful comment. Footy involves 2 teams. Sometimes, believe it or not, you get beaten. Check yourself before you comment next time. 

    Agreed …Grundy has def had the better of Oscar …a lot of our players are flat …as I am seeing Gawn but let’s see how they come out after half time before some very average comments from so called Melb supporters

    That’s probably it actually.

    Melbourne not ruling out that it’s an ACL and Gawn’s reaction is a very very very bad sign.

    They are because our depth is a mirage but they aren’t good players.

    Chandler is meh.

    T Mc is just hot and cold and the ruck isn’t helping.

    Gus is Gus. Probably a decent mid or tagger. An ok winger. A fraud at a half back against good supply, just wants to drop off all day long

    Last week Brisbane led Port Adelaide by 12 points. They lost by 54 points in the end. Just an observation.

    I haven’t given up this game.

    Don't be coming in here with that sensible talk.

    It's half time and we're 20 points down. It's the absolute WORST. 😜

    • 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?
