Goodwin needs to find a way to get this team back to 21 when they hunted teams and had an edge to them. 

Yes, that's the real issue Gorg

The team's overall performance and how we are approaching our games

We may well win this game but there's something that's not quite right

We certainly don't have that edge and it's not about any particular player.  We're not hunting the opposition as a top 4 team should

    Pickett continues to be useful as Anne Frank’s drum kit.

    Pickett obviously got a talking to at half time and just when he was off before, but still not doing enough

    Why are we outnumbered around Gawn at kick ins? 
    It’s like they know where May is kicking and we don’t.

    Is throwing the "rule of the week"?

    Been watching Kozzie the last five minutes, he just casually jogs around.

    He needs to attack with vigour.

    Wish he could watch how Davey use to roam and crumb, he was lightning.

    Saints are an average side ... we are supposed to be top-notch

    We'll probably win but we'll need to play a lot better to win next week

    Btw, great kick Gus (under extreme pressure)

    • 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?
