What's happened to Kozzys dare and speed? Been very irrelevant for weeks now.

    Observations:

    - they’re taking almost every contested mark, which means we can’t retain ball

    - it’s turnover city for us. Crazy. 

    - ground feels like it’s 15 x 20 with straight wings (literally, straight)

    - no room

    No. Just cold and confused why he’s in Geelong.

    Don't blame him. Imagine playing to packed stadiums every week then walking into that dump of a half Auskick sized ground

    Not called out by the commentator despite them showing the replay. Contact with injured players was banned was it not. Should get looked at but probably won't because he returned to the field.

    Lucky it’s started raining. Cats skills and defensive marking was killing us. Bit of rain nullifies it. Plus, we piled on goals against Port up there in the wet. Frustrating to watch what we’ve become in 2023. Just a bottom 8 level side.

    The scrapping onto Tracc and Gawn is pure Scott. 

    How they both haven’t received 3-4 frees each is beyond me. Lay a finger on a cat and whistle goes immediately

    Not sure what Kosi offers. Cannot win a one on one 

    Bit hard when you are 5' and they kick it 9' in the air

    Did we fly across yesterday to train? Doesn’t look like it!! 

    Anyway despite being terrible, we’re only a goal or so down. It’s annoying because the cats aren’t even playing that well! It’s just that they’re not making as many dumb decisions as us. Better skills and capitalising off our errors.

    If we sharpen up, we will win this.

    Agree if we get to normal disposal for a VFL side, let alone AFL.


    Are we actually ever going to play like a top 4 side? Our skills are the worst i’ve seen in a while..

    Just quietly we have 6 frees they have 2

    I think so. All over them. Just need to steady and find some space.

    BS

    Rivers called for it and then made a weak attempt at marking

    Rivers called for it mostly stationary and Gus hit it out in front for Blicavs to intercept. Rivers never had a chance. Had Rivers gone harder he’s still not 200cm, the ball still would’ve been out of reach, Blicavs spoils anyway.

    Theres a fundamental game plan issue that players don’t move in and out of space in a coordinated effort to get the ball on the move.

    But if you are going to kick in to the corridor it has to be low and flat and Gus simply doesn’t have that kick. 


    We're slow to move the ball,  turning it over, kicking to outnumbers, letting them switch at will,  letting them chip into their fwd line whilst we bomb the ball high to a 4 on 1

     

    Wtf have they been doing over the break?

    Frankly win or lose, I have had a gutful of pigheaded Goodwin and bombing it into our forwards. 2 years this damn issue can't be fixed.  Kozzie needs to get going or drop him.

    Viney, Tracc, Grundy, Smith & Fritta ✅️

    May, Hibbo, Lever holding up.  Petty getting to contests but rusty with hands.  To be expected given time away and conditions. Spoiling well though ✅️

    Hunter doing ok on his side ✅️

    Lingers i would bench for much of this quarter for Gus.  Reset message for Lingers needed at the break.  Terrible.

    Kozzy was nowhere near it that quarter.  Chandler was on the bench for the most part it seemed?

    • 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?

      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?
