Better 2nd half of qtr.  from the view from the game, it’s been a game of almost, often just out of touch.

Kelly and eagles around packs are doing well.  Their plan seems to be slow us down around packs to stop our quick breaks. 

Edited by darkhorse72

Not at our best but credit to the Eagles for turning up and applying the pressure

Grundy Fritsch TMac Lever doing well. McVee and Chandler having off days. JVR hitting packs and creating contests

The 4 points are safe but would like to see tidier ball use in the second half

    Mindset still not where it should be.  This is the type of game we should just fire up and kill.  But no.... Our mindset is way off.

    Free kick count is 9-9. But it’s the ones they don’t pay that frustrates me.

    Whats the point of having the 4th umpire if they still refuse to pay the bleeding obvious?

    Thank you. It's the incorrect disposal by wc that sucks.

    Fair dinkum, the biased umpiring in the West Coast games should come under investigation. Of course nothing will happen with the protected species they are. Makes watching so hard. 

    Umpire No. 6 seems to be the problem.

    We are not switched on. How many times have we kicked it to a West Coast player.

    Disclaimer: Positive Police leave thread now, Melbourne are in front but people are negative. We get it.

    We're ticking along, doing just enough. Been clinical up forward which is good. Skills have been off though wit a tonne of wormburner kicks through the middle. Need to clean that up. 

    We did work our way back into it with more uncontested ball 123 - 114 but the worry is the turnovers West Coast are getting in dangerous areas where but haven't been able to convert. The Eagles should probably be 2 goals down at worst right now. 

    Win contested ball, be clean, no need to Hollywood around with it and just put it in the right place and kick some goals.

    More like a 2022 performance so far. Fritsch has a [censored] laser boot and has been the difference between the two sides.

    We're playing so terribly we're almost double their score.  Cheer up, little Demonlanders.

    It's OK but I think bbb is a much stronger mark.

    Trac has 2 contested possesions, no tackles and 1 clearance so far. Needs to lift.

    Fritata is a world class player

    JVR relentless competitor

    Viney doing the tough work in the middle

    Not much more positives so far

    100% Eagles are crowding the contest and putting on the pressure in numbers. 
    It's making it difficult to break out of the back half unless we switch the ball. 

    I think the players you mentioned + Trac will have a better second half. 

    Someone to clamp Hunt, he's been left completely alone all game

    God, there's a name I was happy to forget🤮

    The Eagles are cracking in and taking it on. Nothing wrong with our effort but our focus and attention to details is lacking. Would prefer us to simplify and stop the Hollywood handballs.

    • 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?
