Hugely disappointing. Especially since we couldnt play more than 20 mins of decent footy. Port were a class above us for most of the game

Will be a real chance to miss top 4 if we keep this up


Gameplan and coaching lost that one.

The irony is that Port weren't that good.

We're going nowhere while Goody has them playing like robots

Our coaches cost us that game.

Nkt tagging Butters after half time is inexcusable. And frankly idiotic.

May kicking in to the same f’ing spot every f’ing time is f’ing dumb.

And Yze has been outclassed by other midfield coaches most games this year, sheer talent of Trac and Clarrie paper over this, we get spanked for clearances and like the May kick ins nothing changes. 
 

Goodwin, have a look ya nonce, Butters had 40 million touches, you can put someone near him!

Tmac, go away.

JVR, your over zealous at the player cost us goals. 
 

May, never kick in again.

Score line flatters us, we were beaten for 3.5 qtrs tonight, unfortunately same story as our other losses out worked round the contest, black line under pressure all night, fwd line non functional 

 

Hated the 1st half.

Very proud of our 2nd half.

Our kicking inside F50 needs a shake up. Soooo many opportunities, and some howling shockers from seasoned players.

And although some of our forwards had poor nights, they all put in solid effort. But the delivery to them... sheesh!

 


We lost it. We won it. We lost it again.

Credit to Port. They’re a very good team. Butters had a great game

Disappointing last quarter. We should have seen it home.

Salem very good on his return. Great to have him back. Rivers fantastic as well.

I hate BT with a passion. 

Dust ourselves down and go against Freo next week.

Go Dees

Kenny dancing like he's won the flag. Winners are grinners I guess. Hope we get a shot at them again.

Anyone who will blame the umpiring for this loss is simple papering over the very obvious cracks. 
You don’t play an insipid and soft first half against a top 4 side on their home ground and win. 


Didn't deserve to win. But what a shocking last throw in by umpire, would've like to see a contest in that final 15 seconds 

Goodwin be brave and make some statements with changes.

Langdon needs a spell, JVR cannot read the flight of ball and made silly mistakes. Back to Casey please.

We fumbled all night, they were clean, almost like it was a sunny day for them.

We seriously deserved to lose and got our just rewards.

Make some hard calls Goodwin for once in your life.

Pressure needs to go on our midfield. With Clarry, Trac and Viney getting service from Gawn and Grundy, we should never get belted around the stoppages. To lose clearances 10-0 in the second quarter should be career ending stuff. Heat needs to come on Yze as the midfield coach. We’ve been beaten up around the stoppages consistently this year and it’s become a problem for us being that our game is built off contest and our stats are around the ball. 


Easy to get a run on in a quarter when you don't turn up for the other 3. 

Tired of hearing about our midfield, rack up the numbers but can apply pressure for 4 quarters. Wonder if it has to do with our terrible fitness coach.

Too tall, too slow for modern football, their midfield was harder at the ball.

port deserved to win it, mistakes by Viney and Roo hurt us badly.

Pack her up and play the kids.

Half the guys out there look like they can't move.

Tank for Reid. 

 

Another game ruined by umpiring. How many will it take, and affecting which clubs, will it take to force an improvement? Because that was truly disgraceful. On another matter, having let Noah Anderson and now Zak Butters make us look ridiculous, can only imagine what Nick Daicos is gonna do.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

  • CASEY: Footscray

    At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

  • PREGAME: Brisbane

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
