I’m at work so couldnt watch, but looking at the scores I’m guessing terrible is the word of the day.

    And people were bemoaning Port's win making top 2 a tough ask. We are so far off that level.

    The Italian National Team would be proud of that effort by GWS - a big ol' park the bus and get them on the rebound. I know it doesn't help us, but I HATE when teams do that. We lost that game, GWS didn't win it. Kick just a few of those opportunities we had and the game would have been over at 3/4 time given the rain.

    Fingers crossed we can kick a winning score.

    And ANB is a Brownlow medalist.

    Got what we deserved. So predictable in play and outcome. 

    Agree.

    Play skilless players and get what you deserve.

    Great coaching too, ever heard of a goal keeper in the wet, Kingsley has.

    And what did we do to overcome that tactic? Our game day coaching belongs on the G….at half time for the aus kickers 

     

    I know the conditions were slippery, but if that had been a match  between two struggling teams in the VFL, you would still have described Melbourne's forward line as pathetic. Brown past it, Smith below par, Melksham now just a journeyman, Langers and Hunter ineffective, Pickett charging about aimlessly, Harms a liability, Gawn-Grundy mix not working, and to cap off all the woeful goalkicking Viney missed a straight-forward set shot which would probably have sealed a win. Most of his teammates could have learned a lesson from nuggety little Bowey on how to play wet-weather football.

    Goodwin's attacking plan A: bomb it in long to a heavily congested pack.

    Goodwin's attacking plan B: bomb it in long to a heavily congested pack.

    Goodwin's attacking plan C: bomb it in long to a heavily congested pack.

    If Fritsch is out for an extended period, we are seriously in danger of missing finals altogether.

    Let us pray Oliver is fit for next week.

    We have one of the most disfunctional fwd lines in the comp.

    I thought they'd clean it up by now.

    Its getting worse.  Forget the 4 now. Every side knows theyre a chance against us.  Finals are no guarantee now we' ve thrown 3 games.Need atleast 4 wins with that fwd line?

    No more f###g Alice Springs home games. Scrap it if you dont want to lose members.

    • 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?
