This pathetic capitulation is now effecting our percentage and could cost us too 4. WAKE THE [censored] UP YOU WEAK DOGS

 

Embarrassing, insipid & lazy football when the game is there to be won, we roll over & die. No desperation, no desire, no fight.. We’re such an average football club who are content with a good showing every now & again. I don’t think we have the determination or grit to win another flag.

We lost this game when we got off the bus. Goodwin selecting Petty over Tomlinson is a joke.

We lost this game because we have kicked six goals from 49 inside 50s.

Spare me mate! Tomlinson is a C grader at best 

Agree they’re making out that this is the reason we lost the game, maybe it’s because our disposal is 2nd rate & we have some very dumb footballers


Now the problem is our percentage!

Our forwards have to be some of the softest footballers, I haven't seen a forward group get done this badly in 1 on 1 contests. 

They all look immune to having a crack, genuinely pathetic effort from the lot of them.

Out coached, outplayed, outworked. Imagine thinking that Smith, Van Rooyen and Gawn is a finals standard forward line, or that Spargo is a worthy sub option, or that our goal kicking is not a massive issue. 

Smith had a good first half. JVR is close to useless as main key forward. 

How far off is BBB? His presence is sorely missed

Credit to cats defence tonight.

Shame on our entries too.

They shut down Max and kept him to zero marks.

You know when that happens we are going to struggle. 

Sadly we didn't want this with many Senior players too doing sfa in the last.

Was there for tge taking and we didn't.

Could have cemented top 4.

Petty was an absolute shocing call.

Chandler out.


Stand up Melbourne for [censored]'s sake. Geelong wanted it more, show some response.

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

So it that the excuse next week of a 9 day break again if we loose 

How many times tonight, has our forward entry been a long bomb to Kozzie v Stewart? 

Same thing happened last year. Got within a few points and then they blew us away with a flurry of goals.


4 goals in 6 minutes? Game on!!! 😆

 

Bit late to put Petty forward, Goody. Should've happened at half time, especially given Cameron was off

  • 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?
