Bog ordinary.

i know the ground is a slop, but we’re BOTH playing on that slop.

Who even is this team????

 

Seriously we need to learn how to kick accurately.

Same story every week now.

Poor footy.

 

How does Grundy get tackled before the ball is even thrown out thats holding the man where is the free kick maybe weVe had enough already

Sadly it appears Liam Jurrah isn’t there. The roads have been closed which must be the reason since he loves this match every year. 😢

I need more good news from you… not less 😭

Great selection Joel Smith. Complete waste of space at this stage. 

Meanwhile JVR kicking 4 and probably multiple contested marks.

+40 disposals, +12 free kicks, +31 CPs, +14 clearances, +21 inside 50s, +6 scoring shots, but losing. 

thems some tasty PREMIERSHIP METRICS.

 

We just need to do what it takes to get this job done. Stop piddling around with too much handball.

But minus 100% in skill.

Never have a small at the back of the pack. Chandler is the invisible man surely can't be gifted a game next week.

It's lazy, just hanging out there hoping it will skid to the back.

Somethings wrong at this club. What a waste of talent.

Maybe that’s the problem? We think we have the list to win another one.

Our list is out of balance. We need 2-3 elite ball users off half back and in the HF area that are reasonably big bodied (ie not Salem / Bowey) and are good natural athletes.

We are also dominating the falling over count by a mile.

This 👆

The problem again is the small forwards. Chandler, ANB, Kozzie and Melk simply can't get it done. Don't expect Brown or Smith to get many looks. 


We can hope the champion team shows up in the last...🤞🏻

+40 disposals but only +8 effective disposals - wasteful

We got panned for not wanting it enough last week and not going hard enough. Show them what we're made of.

  • 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?
