    Worst half of footy for the year 

    worst than v lions 

    worst than v bombers 

    worst than v port 

    overhandballing is horrible 

    ineffective inside 50

    going wide going wide and wide 

    Best. Ummm Trac and lots of others just going ok. 

    Viney. Kozzzy. Chin. Do something!!! And Spargo is a negative 

    What happened to Chandler? Is he being tagged? A shell of his former self, had a great 5-6 rounds to start the year.

    Any chance we try and go fast and direct through the corridor?

    That involves winning the clearances. So no.

    Why does Kozzy seem to be on a rollercoaster every game?.

    One spectacular goal, or play. Then 10 minutes of zero impact or involvement.

    💯

    It's a scrap. Grundy's two shot should be goals. Similarly, Harmes.

    Midfield is ineffective with Viney being tagged, Tracc quiet that quarter.

    The secondary midfield not really cutting it.

    Story of our season

    Same at Casey

    Boring team to watch save for 2021 finals series

    This is a soft effort from us.

    Viney and Lever really need to lift.

    Jv no disposals last quarter.  A grand two touches for a half.

    Jacko best on hound. Great work Dees.

    Can Tmac lay a tackle just once please.

    Meantime JJ can’t buy a game.

    2 half backlines dominating, both teams struggling to find much cohesion between wing and half forward. Not a pretty game to watch. 

    I don't understand the modern interpretation of a push in the back. In 2/3 of contested marking, someone is shoving the person in front forward and it is not paid. Gawn does it a lot, and cops it a lot. 

    Early today in this thread I mentioned handballing, tackling, and F50 efficiency. Tackling = tick. The other 2 are the mess they have been all year.

    Any chance Goodwin's could give up like Hardwick

    It's a strange feeling when Reddit is the best option for a rational discussion of something. The game day threads here are something else.

    it’s shocker, isn’t it. It’s got real Sunday afternoon 4;20pm game, circa 2014, feels. 

    That's exactly how it feels and it shouldn't. We are a top 4 team playing a team out of the 8 and should be comfortably winning. 

    All I can think is what Collingwood will do to us in 2 weeks time

    We’ve had numerous opportunities when we’ve won the ball off half back.

    A dreadful game - we have no zip at all, absolutely flat. Freo are terrible also - the Pies would have put these guys to bed already. 
     

    Not sure where our lift is going to come from, but it doesn’t bode well for the rest of the year.

    How so?

    Strating to forget the last time Kozzie tore a game apart.

    I think it was before he was suspended.

    Been a while.

    Sadly Chandler following his lead.

    Our forward line is 6tuffed.

    And tried to take a mark 1 hander. He doesn't do enough 

    Let’s try for the first 10 minutes of the 3/4 kamakzi run and gun, fast ball movement , play on at all costs to an open fwd line with Fritsch coming out of the square, Chandler and Kosi 25-30 metres out in opposite pockets.

    Disposal efficiency says it all

    Dees 69% vs 79% Freo

    Yep our skills are terrible. Handballs and short kicking going astray. Need to rectify in the 2nd half or we are in big trouble. We also over use the ball when under pressure instead of getting a quick kick into the forwards. Hate to be a forward in this team.

    He needs to be coached. 

    Learn some more footy smarts Kozzy, stop trying to do the flashy stuff.

    You wonder what they do over the preseason? Plenty of time to work on skills...🤔🤔🤔

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      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?

    • 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?
