I would take winning this quarter on the scoreboard.

It has a horrible feel about it.

    Hunter’s over the head no look handball to Brayshaw towards the end of that quarter was the greatest thing I’ve ever seen.

    Hunters been good again tonight and surprisingly hard at it for a winger.

    Geelong flogging us in the tackle count.. most of their tackles don’t count however as they are off the ball.

    And then Brayshaw does [censored] all with that ball 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

     

    It is so hard to believe, but each week the quality of umpiring just gets worse.  I can barely watch games involving my team; there’s no chance I’m going to watch much games as a neutral.  It’s quite depressing.

    not great skills, poor max is having a shocker. We need to bring it home now, we have been playing poorly at times if we can just lift in this last quarter we should win it. I bit disappointed with some of the holding the ball decisions that have gone against us, and those that have not gone against geelong when they had time to dispose of it.  Holding the ball is such a raffle a couple of geelong players when they get tackled just hug the ball no attempt to get rid of it, but its still a ball up. i thought you have to at least pretend to try to get rid of it,  but that football. strange viney got pinged for throwing the ball in that quarter the commentators said they thought he handballed it but the umpire was on his blind side probably did not see it. so are we paying frees for things we dont see?

     


    I don't hate many people. I bet he's a lovely person in real life but I hate the way Tom Hawkins acts on the football field.

    We either run away with this or Scott pulls something out of his [censored] and we lose.

    I reckon the umps will do that for him as a sits back and does the old smiling clown face at the odd ones they dont call in the Cat's favour.

    We seem to have worked out what we need to do, kick to contest and pounce on the ground ball before they do.

    We should run them off their feet now. We are coming off a 10 day “bye” and them off a 6 day break from Adelaide. 

    We can run them off their feet all we want but if we keep turning the ball over under zero pressure, it ain't gonna mean a thing. 

    That's us in a nutshell tonight and always when we're at our offensive worst. 

    Edited by JimmyGadson

    We've got this. Geelong are reactive but hanging in there. So long as they don't get a run of shocking frees, we should hold out. Scoring would be helpful though.


    Here they come on the back of the umpires you just watch

     

    Why the duck was that a free against Fritters? Cheating dogs.

    • 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?
