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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
