    I really hate how we capitulate in quarters. Itā€™s one thing to do against good teams. Itā€™s embarrassing to do it against a side that doesnā€™t even want to win.Ā

    I am furious after watching that quarter. Allowing the Hawks to play like that is inexcusable.Ā 

    Fumbling.Ā 

    Fritsch - what is going on? Does he need a spell at Casey?

    And if I see another handball to a team mate's feet I will scream.Ā

    Made to look ordinary by the 2nd last team on the ladder.

    They had control in the centre easily.

    Lift Dees FFS!!!!!!

    Why they waited til that quarter to play the ā€˜How to beat Melbourneā€™ method, who knows. They arenā€™t good enough to make it last of course, and donā€™t haveĀ the efficiency, but boy does it show once more how we can lose control of the game when ANY team plays that way. Troublingā€¦..

    Hopefully we saved the best for last. Hawks turned up the intensity that quarterĀ

    Langers and ANB are not in very good form.

    Wrested back control when Max went in ruck.

    Tracc and Oliver good.

    Petty off messes up structure.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, itā€™s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. Itā€™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 psychologistĀ  Itā€™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 letā€™s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedĀ 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).Ā

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Caseyā€™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 ruckmanā€™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 Demonsā€™ 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?
