Not sure about everyone else but kicking a point isn’t advantage?

They should never call advantage so close to goal. Just let the team take a set shot.

Kayo having a mare. Just work dammit!

Is it crashing for you as well? I thought it was my nbn down at Phillip Island.

It's been flawless here for me. Maybe try restarting whatever device it is you're watching on?

Done that 10 times already. 

 

Bummers will continue to run and gun. We need to get our hands on it a lot more.

Would be good if the midfield could play the whole 4 quarters without lapses in concentration.

Kayo working flawlessly for us


Fine start for Essendon they should be really proud of that effort. Draper scorching us in the ruck and if Petty is really hurt then they could really exploit that weakness down back.

Great kick from Melksham to steal one back before QT but these guys need a rocket up their behind.

We need to keep backing our ball movement because once we break the centre line the Bombers are very susceptible. Get stuck in and win more contested footy to shield the backs and we can easily get back in this.

Yes restart. Was buffering earlier

If you take the advantage it is, miss the goal stiff 

We didn't take advantage, the foul was called after Grundy had disposed of the ball. Hard for Kozzy to know if he should kick or not.

Just now, leave it to deever said:

I've never seen Clarrie start a game with 2 touches in the first.

Him and Trac need to really lift. Not good enough.

Damn. Hope it improves for the rest of the game for you.

I'm 5 km from the Adelaide Oval and there's no wind at all, so I don't know where you are. It's not raining. In fact, perfect conditions for footy. BB will play. There won't be any changes for weather.

Might have changed your mind ..windy ..a bit of rain & no BB 🤔

Shocking defence efforts but very efficient forward line entries -  almost the opposite of last season -  our backs need to get head in the contest and mids work harder defensively 


Mids need to get involved more just letting the bombers have to many unpressured entries fwd  

Let’s hope the coaches have sorted some of that [censored] out.

Petty and Tomlinson stinking it up 

One of the results of playing Petty up forward for most of the year?

They are playing with a really high defense. Just have Rivers and Sparrow kick to space behind their last line of defence, get Kozzy, JVR and Milkshake work on ground.

 

1st 

fumbles very costly 

Bombers spare defensive across half back is very good (Scott 1 Goodwin 0)

Draper causing problems 

Oliver 2 touches 🤮🤮

Parish 13 disposals 🤔🤔

Pickett nearly dangerous 🤩

Fritsch 💙❤️

Good news is that they can’t play much better and we have much we can improve on. Not losing to those cheats in Adelaide.

  • 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?
