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.

    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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
