How many soft frees to Sydney. 

Enough to get them the 4 points. Nothing surer.

 

Charlie Spargo should be dropped next week for that WEAK EFFORT

    Just typical of us to let them back into it. Had them on the ropes and now it’s a line ball game with all the momentum Sydney’s way.

    We're getting a bit loose, especially in the backline now

    Wondering if we'll throw Petty back to manage the height down back while the midfield battle is on their favour/balanced.

    Not sure I like Petty up forward. Feel like we are missing him up back especially with those goals to franklin and Logan. Can’t help but feel like he would have stopped at least one of those marks.

    An extra umpire just means 33% more bad decisions.

    100% this.  So three certain HTBs for us againt Brisvegas in the 1st quarter conveniently overlooked but about as many that were nowhere near it called straight away in that quarter alone which turned the game back their way.

    Pretty sure it was Lingers on the wing which was the worst of the lot and ended up in them scoring.

    Goody has had enough of the discussion on DL. Unless he snags a few contested marks or kicks a few snags in the second half, the debate is over.

    Umps slaughtering us

    Rubbish we have gone back to kick and mark, they struggle with quick ball movement, Sparrow is the new viney tries to take everyone one instead of first option it's just simple things that need cleaning up.

    Viney is a liability in the midfield.  Just coughs it up way too easily.

    A few more cleaner forward entries and quick reaction to the turnerover and we'll get the Swans.

    • 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?
