Just there is a lot of wrist slashing here as usual. Completely dominated the half, but failed to execute on the scoreboard. That’s the end of the story. Listening to BT and Jones, who doesn’t want to appear biased, barracking for GWS is worse than the goal kicking 

Failed to execute on the scoreboard = loss = bad

Kozzy is a ghost on the field. Always watching the players carrying the ball, never going after them. Wants the easy ball.

It's driving me nuts. Used to be hard at it but last month or so been soft

At this stage I am going to have fluffy pups after watching this. We should be at least a minimum of 4 goals in front.

He’s too lazy a player at the moment when it comes to reading and reacting to the play. How many times that half was he in the wrong position?

Get the ball to 20m out with BB bringing it to ground, then have the smalls crumb it, ffs. It isn’t that hard.

How is our forward connection?

Our delivery into our forward 50 has been laser like in its precision, the only problem is it’s nearly always to a Giant standing on his own. It’s doing my head in. Our field kicking has been abysmal, even taking into account the wet conditions. Goal kicking worse.

Bad kicking is bad footy, very simple

I posted that we have become the worst kicks for goal in the AFL, excepting one bad night by the Swans.

As long as you identify as one you don’t need wheels.

My kingdom for a player who identifies as a goal kicking forward.

Hasn't been the same since his suspension, lost confidence to go in hard

My bad, don't support local business people it's the devil. Especially in the red centre.

Maccas and Amazon forever 🤪

So much of what we do is so good. Really good.

And then we kick forward and lose all vision, all strategy, and basic skills. 

Our game plan, rotations, Gawn and Grundy, attack on the ball, tackling etc... all seem to work well, and our back half defence really is a wonderful thing to behold. So I just don't get our dreadful forward skills.

FMD I can’t keep watching this. It’s actually just a joke. 

I know how you feel. But for mine it’s Demonland that’s unbearable. I’d forgotten how pathetic some of the “fans” are on here.  I only came on here to share what I hear about Fritta but it’s not possible without seeing some of these posts that are just too much. Further compounded by hearing my peeps doing their best behind the goals, fully supporting our boys regardless of the score.

Anyways medicos just had another meeting. They can’t manage his pain. They’re gonna do a pain block infusion. Apparently it’s a common procedure.

Didn’t like Grundy stopping and appealing for a free when the ball was right there

My pet hate...contested ball...turns to umpire to plead for a free


binman - is this all loading?

Free kick count 14-1 in our favor. We’ve brought the paper bags this week!

Expect that to get evened up in the second half and cost us the game.

He's waiting to come back after we finish them off with a 15 goal to 2 goal second half.

I used to shout out every week that this is the one he'll kick a bag. I've stopped.

Been more than a month. Since he came back from suspension I'd say 

Didn't he tear it up last AS game?

Shell of his old self.

 

Chandler the same too.

Just hope Frittas ok and we stop selling this game.

  • 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?
