What an embarrassing final quarter. Outscored 5 goals to zip when the games on the line.

Coach needs a rocket. Team selection wrong. Team balance wrong. No changes made even when getting belted around the ball and on turnover. 


WHAT IS THIS [censored] FORWARD SET UP?

Why are we letting them have an extra man when we have clearly lost unless we get the goals quickly 

Tracc has the worst goal sense for a player of his calibre 

 

Poor selection, and still can’t believe he took a running player in Jordan for Spargo and not Petty or Gawn. 

Petty a mile off and how they made an out of form player like spargo sub I’ll never know. Jordons last game as well

Gee we look slow and terrible in the air as well

Massive tug on Gawns jumper. Nothing. Nothing. Fmd

I wonder what our F50 efficiency against top 8 sides has been since 2018?

 

Anybody know a way to look this up as I’m struggling to be able to find it?

Where’s our energy advantage here?

 On the other side we’d be saying we’re coming off a 6 day break, we’ll that’s them so are we going to stand up or what? Where’s our run?

Who will make a difference?

I can't believe people are still asking this question around the bye.....

Spare me mate! Tomlinson is a C grader at best 

So is Garry Rohan but he's almost been the difference

The trouble is Viney is the only player showing some leadership out there.

Lever has been strong too. Max has cracked the [censored] and thrown in the towel this year.

I wonder if there are any learnings from tonight?

Maybe that our forward line is freaking useless.

And out mids have no idea how / where to kick it into forward line

 

I'd be dropping Kozze Pickett, downhill skier extraordinaire

Yep, Petracca has shown he is the side kick of Oliver. You'd think he would step up with Oliver out. He hasn't

  • 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.

    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?
