May is an [censored]. All he had to do is kick it to Langdon by himself. May is [censored] this season. Should not be taking the kick ins.

Lol spare. He kicked 55 goals last year in a forwardline that functioned poorly. 

 

I’d be surprised if we won this, too many players down.

 

3 goals from free kicks to them that quarter. I’m don’t care how poor the umpiring is, just don’t give them the chance to blow their whistle (then after the game you can tell them to shove it where the sun don’t shine)

    May kicking left when Langdon was free on the right… turn

    People who think they’re above others refuse to consider the fact that they effect games. Umpires clearly effect games and momentum and the last two quarters have been shocking.

    The amount of mistakes is minimal compared to players, there are other concerns than them.

    Is now becoming a clanger king.

    OMG 😳 

    Perfect tackles by Kozzie, Fritter and others go unrewarded despite GCS player having ample opportunity 

    Amazing that an extra field umpire doesn't improve the standard at all

     

    We're in a proper battle here. Effort is there but we've no polish and our forward structure is not functioning. I wouldn't be surprised if King wins it for them.


    Gold coast have all the momentum. Besides the first 10 minutes, we have been extremely poor. The tackling pressure finally lifted in the last 5 mins of that quarter, but I can't see any way we win this game by losing 75% of the clearances.

     

    I just dont understand May's stupid determination to kick it left side every time, 15 seconds to go someone open short and he kicks to a damn contest. really dumb football, hunter trying to run around players dumb football. Outscored that quarter a win for the gold coast. We have such a talented side that just goes missing at times. for a team that has perhaps the best ruck combination where are we benefiting from this at the throw ins and centre bounces.

    Can anyone explain how we win a premiership with May, Petty and Lever as the key backs, yet now we need to solidify the backline, we don't move Petty back..

    I know scores are level but I just can’t see us winning. We’re not changing anything and all our goals have been grinds. They find smooth passage every time with quick replies. 

    Our midfield has been poor, backline a complete mess and forward entries a joke. 

    I hope I’m wrong but this looks like it’s inching towards a win for GC

     UNLESS WE PULL OUR FINGERS OUT

    Can't even win it out of the middle. Our forward line is non existent and our backline is a mess

    I really hope tge club can recruit an experienced big chf. It's not bbb or tmac. We have been caught out with those two not playing this year. Petty not the answer and Jvrs played 5. It's a worry.

    Should be dropped to VFL, send him a message.

    The defense is slop, but it’s the midfield. Midfield midfield midfield. They are to blame for this.

    Maybe hunter and langdon should change sides, have may kicking out to langdons side instead of hunters. it cannot hurt.

     


     

    No Touk Miller and we still get smashed in clearance

      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?
