Can we seriously buy a free kick??

Only in the back 50. Nowhere else.

 

Really got mozzed with the injury list talk this week.

 

First rule of Fight Club: Don't talk about the injury list

We clearly got ahead of ourselves before tonight. Both fans and players. I can take losing tonight at this stage, at this stage all I want is that Max isn’t gone for the season. Please please don’t be an worst case scenario 

Really?  How about outplayed, as well as maybe being shellshocked at losing our best player early in the game?

What is this ball use?! Are we drunk?

Just had a free pour gin. I’m on my way!!


Oliver and Petracca on the bench together, they have both been average but that is odd to have them off at the same time.

What has happened to Brayshaws kicking?

Always been sketchy.
As with most in the side.

Petty having a shocker

With a lot of company I'm afraid.

Sloppy, losing clearances big time.  Half the boys up forward have barely touched the pill.

The worry for me is the structure, lack of big man impact.  Kicking down the line too often.  Not ogranised or clean in the middle (fumbles... not many first touch clearances) and some seriously dumb footy.

The good...

Sparrow, Lingers, Rick, Chandler, BBB (best of an ordinary bunch of forwards so far), Harmes (getting to the right spots but disposal too often smothered or goes nowhere), McVee

The Bad...

Max going down with a bruised knee

Grundy's ability to find a Lion

Clarry kicking's

Viney's kicking

Tracc's kicking

The ugly...

Nibbler's game

Tracc's game

Gus's game

 

 


Saprgo knows how to win a head high free kick

Need to try anything other than the long bomb forward - just isn't working.

Why can we do it at training but in a game it all goes out the wimdow??

 

This game just looks like it’s gonna peter out without much else happening.

Do something to change the state of the game. Come on Goody, come on anyone. Our inability to change mid course continues to be a problem.

  • 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?

  • 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?
