    Biggest fan but let's be honest, he's a shadow of his former self. Since scoring back from 2 week suspension has been struggling. I like his fwd pressure but he's not really kicking goals and getting much use. Hopefully he proves me wrong tonight.

    How many clear centre bounce tap outs can we win but still not win the clearance?

    Goody will never drop him so it looks like he's playing without care or effort

    Just quietly we have 6 frees they have 2

    Which one of those 6 wasn’t there?. The HTB decisions were all perfectly executed and duly rewarded. 
     

    they need to call what they see, not even the ledger

    How can we change it? Bring more to the contest?

    Hit targets across the ground, stop binging it in.

    Our kicking - again, unpressured horrible errors leading to turnovers.

    Geelong half backs are slaughtering our half forwards. 

    The last 7 minutes looked better.

    Nothing much since his suspension.

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

    Is that whytheCats get paid marks for 5 meter kicks?

    Yeah he is gone for that. Has to be

    Should but won’t.

    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. 

    Rivers was soft in the marking contest and the player calling for the ball has an obligation to win the footy

    Rivers should have used his body to shield the ball

    You're the same bloke who argued against forwards playing in front? 

    Edited by Macca

    Signs are ominous 

    If Tracc, Brayshaw, etc Al keep turning the ball over under little pressure we are going to be very disappointed.

    All of them were there, reckon they missed one or two for them though

    Kozzie wandering around in no man's land most of the first quarter. A few others need to lift their game too.

    • 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?
