Did Trac butter the hands before tonight? Seems to be handling a completely different ball

    Petracca has been so fumbly tonight

    Worst game ive seen from the dynamic duo tonight.  We havent handled the conditions or some prettg standard AFL pressure which is a worry


    Tomlinson is not AFL standard.

    Would prefer Dan Turner, honestly.

    24 degrees at night in Brisbane would make the ball pretty slippery. I think Brisbane are just used to it and we’re not (compounded by the fact that we are objectively not playing well).

    Can he just play on from OOB when he hasn’t come over the mark?

    Seems they can


    Have we won a centre clearance the entire night? The midfield have embarrassed themselves. A second game player has torn us apart 

    Not our night folks. We'll respond against the Swans.

    Hope Max ok.

    Going to get my head down, go for a good walk early doors and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

    Over and out

    Petracca, Oliver and Viney will HATE the replay of this game.

    The whole team needs to sit down and watch it.

     

    I can hear the xxxx being cracked open. Shame, we were in this. If Trac picked that ball up we might have been away for a chance to return to 20. Instead we’re 38 down.

    Beaten by a better team on the night 

    Beaten because we failed to execute the most basic non negotiables of our side. We got destroyed in every area that we generally excel at. Inexcusable.

    • 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?
