Van Rooyen isn't the answer for a backup ruckman 

Been real good as a ruckman. Not sure what you are watching

    We are playing a different style and our poorer skills and decision making is laid bare. 
     

    Need to get the lead and lock the game down. 

     

    They look too polished unless we lift

    Don’t usually post in the game day thread but that 2nd qtr effort was disgusting. Brisbane are hardly the toughest & they smashed us around the footy. We looked soft.

    I just don’t know where we are at as a side at the moment 

    Without Petracca it feels like we’d a bottom 8 team.

    Agreed. Giving us good use with his second efforts. He’s really not bad.

    Spargo deserves an absolute roast!

    Gave Brisbane all the momentum after that stupid turnover when he decided to kick across the field near CHF and caused the turnover.

    I'd dead set Sub him out for that.

    100% our biggest weakness tonight.

    He has never hit form at any stage since the concussion.  Coming back to bite the selectors on the bum.

    A pitty Clazz aint ready.  Straight swap

    Yep nailed it. I'm all for fast ball movement but needs to be in the right players hands.

    Trying to play a bit too quick and risky. Been good to watch but lions on top now

    As soon as the pace and pressure picked up, we've panicked and our forward 50s are ooozing pus again

    Unfortunately May is getting taught a lesson by Daniher. 

    He really got going that quarter.

    Their half backs are just clearing it way too easily. 

    Doesn't help when Spargo, Anb, Melksham and Pickett offer zero defensive pressure.

    Glad to see the negative trolls are back after losing that quarter.

    A very disappointing quarter, but they are a top 4 team for a reason. They move it better than us. They have much better forwards than we do, so they can actually kick it forward with some purpose. They were all over us and make us pay for every turnover, while rarely turning it over themselves. 

     

    We have to get back to winning the contested game. We can’t win it in a shoot out.

    Don't worry guys, our loading program will see us blow them out of the park in the second half. That will be the reason we win. 

    @binmanand @A F guarantee it. 

    But if it doesn't occur, you can't blame loading okay? 

    It'll be other reasons. 

     

    Are you at the game this week Steve, or still in Europe complaining that Melbourne supporters don't turn up to games, and in the same breath lauding how important Collingwood's crowd is to their arousal levels?

    We need Smith's height and mobility at half fwd

    Should be straight in for Spargo from now.

    Let's hope we don't wait till the last 15 min

    He was supposed to be a fwd though. Not like we don't have a better ruck option in Grundy.

    Can't defend quick ball movement!!!

    Any chance we can get a coach to tell these guys to lower eyes and hit a leading target going forward !!!

    Bomb in everytime to Brisbane advantage

    You’d think we are playing a division 3 team, not a premiership contender.

    • 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?
