If we don’t run them into the ground here we are taking the absolute [censored].

Look even more average!

Yep, correct !!

Team of average skilled fumbling footballers.

Cant question effort, but need polish 

We need to offer Burgess kids jobs and a house to move to Vic and get him back.

Stoker has been off injured for the last 15 minutes so they only have one on the bench

Poor choice by Trac, either have the shot or that’s gotta go 10 meters out.

Poor choice to kick it to Grundy?

i know what you mean

Do we have another gear?

It's not a motoring show...

 


If we lose this it will be as a result of losing the 2nd ball to the Saints .

Very few crumbers at the drops,  shocking at loose ball gets and contested ball gets.

Can't maintain a chain beyond about 3 or 4 possessions

Still cant find targets inside and not enough forwards lead or time their leads at all towards the ball carrier.

Talls / mediums continue to sit back at the top of the square or just outside the goal line.

Where are the short shallow kicks (on occasions) to a leading forward around 40 to 50 meters out to at least maintain possession, have a shot at goal, eat up the clock and give our mids a rest and HBs more time to set up an effective wall??????????

The Saints were dominated for most of that quarter and we could still barely convert after so many entries.

Forward craft Pffft!   CRAPPOLA!

Might be time for Kossie to have a spell at Casey. He's been underwhelming for weeks

Time was about three weeks ago.

Our coach clearly is from South Australia, constantly behind the times.

That was due some time ago.

I am surprised you didn't notice.

I don’t think our effort has been as good as it was or could be.

Ch7 commentary team so painful to listen to. 
 

Trac looks angry.


Smith to come on - a couple goals in the last please….

We all honestly know we are a bottom 8 team.

We all wish we were a ruthless, team oriented smart team.

disappointing performance, lack of running and chasing by a few players are keeping the saints in this. even though they are tired they are committed i wish i could say the same about all of our players.

Poor choice to play Grundy

I'd much rather have JVR down there.  Or Smith!

Grundy is not the answer.

Tap bros experiment should have been killed off three or four weeks ago.

Grundy sub (at best)

Ironically we played much better last week through the middle 

 

This is the dirtiest Umpire effort to make one side competitive i have ever seen.

It's just so one sided. We are not playing well, but they are just a dirty side, and a lot dirtier with Jones in it.

  • 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?
