Gah how can you not know there are seconds left!!? 

 

3/4 time Goody

please show us we have a COACH who can change momentum 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Love McVee tonight but how do players not know how much time is left.

Jesus Mcvee what were you thinking

If he hadn't played on, then scored, we would be in this.

Not sure how Petty played if we’re trying to avoid the balls up of 2022 - subbed off hurt last week, picked again, subbed off again with what looks like the same problem.. mental stuff 

The mishandling of Petty both positionally and through injury has summed up the year.

I had a hunch he'd be all in tonight.
I've backed him in to beat VC Bonts 130 as Cpt in Supercoach.

Good call. On track for double ton.

Trac can’t buy a holding free 

Four Umps out there and not one is watching for what for exactly what we added an Ump for.

 

This is going to be a huge margin to recover in this final quarter. 
But when you look at the game, we have been dominant, but sloppy. 
 

Looking like another, wasted game on our way to trying to win multiple premierships.

We just lack composure generally. Brisbane have look so composed most of the game.

We're in this. We need 25 mins of our first 10 mins.

Mmmmm. Dunno

Come on you are not serious,  do you think he was looking at the bench for the time?

If we don't win this.

We won't get 4th and in turn we waste a 5th year without a flag.

But we won one in 70 so let's trust goody.

We are looking more and more like an easy kill against good opposition.

Goodwin refuses to change our system or doesnt know how to. Either way, he has got to go. Our list simply cannot go from being so good to so bad this quickly.

2021 all players bought in, now they are not as committed. The coach has lost the players, or cannot get them motivated. His time has come and gone.

2020 Goodwin promised us finals, couldn't deliver.

2023 Again promising to take us deep into finals and avoid the mistakes of 2022, it's not looking great so far

They are umpiring as coached.

Im not sure we’ve been dominant. Since halfway through the first quarter the game has been played in Brisbane’s forward half.

Us under Goodwin for 7 years.

Our midfield has been very average. Even Viney.

Lever hasn't touched it.

Langdon the same.

Our fwd line ....see midfield.

Unless Goody mixes things up will see more pain.


Kinda surprised how easily the Lions can break down our game plan and hurt us with their kicking game.

Not just that but how they can dominate in the air.

We can still win this.

No we cant

We look scarred, they totally have our number now. The one thing I'm hanging onto is there are goals in this game, hopefully they can be from us.

They are told to be perfect with footy, sometimes you just need to kick it! Handball when there is 4 seconds left 🤦🏻‍♂️

Is the Heartbreaker required to do a fitness test each week? I can't remember him being actually fit.

  • 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.

    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?
