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. 

Could have had 4 that quarter Daniher. Got off the chain

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

Sorry but what was positive about that slop? It was insipid.

Goodwin has the team stinking it up.  He is all talk. 

As opposed to you, on an internet forum.

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

Fair point. But we played pretty poorly for thirty mins 

Let's hope we reset like the first thirty.

Edited by leave it to deever


Positives: McVee is sensational.

Tracc kicking straight.

BBB decent target.

If we can reset after half time like the Lions did after qtr time where still well in this. Need our midfielders to lift.

Backs have no hope the way the ball is sling shotting back from our half forward line straight through the corridor. Our ball entry into our 50 is slow, predictable and inaccurate and just comes straight out again. We refuse to use the full width of the ground just kicking back into traffic inviting a turnover.

It was a very good team playing better than us. They are a really really good team and we don’t have our best player or our best forward.

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?

Can't help being overseas for work, would be there every week at the G if I was home. Having a great time over here though thanks. 

Nice way of dodging the question! 

Look forward to your response. 

 


Few of our quieter guys need to get involved, or involved again. Melk quiet, Kozzie dunno, still looks out of it aside for a nice goal and a good run or two. Could have had another I reckon. Maybe we’ll see more of him in the second half. We’ll need it. Can we please man up when the ball leaves our forward 50???

Those don’t account for being so weak at the contest

The defense fell apart with Petty off. I hope they injected him really well. We need him!

Best thing Fagan ever did was get rid of Rich. All of a sudden Lions aren’t exposed in the back half for lack of leg speed.


Melksham is dangerous tonight. 
 

Kick a goal ffs Jakey!

We are winning the contested possessions and clearances 

They are spreading and hitting targets much better 

Need to lock the ball in our forward 50, their getting it out to easy and that's here the run is coming from. Bot we really need to hit passes the number that drop short or go over the leading players head is killing us.

Smart coaching from Fagan, drag May away from goals.

One thing I know we are the experts at giving up a late quarter goal.

Playing ok, just got to man up when they switch sides, their run is killing us.

We all wanted Spargs to find his '21 form again, turning players inside out etc. but we just have not seen it for far too long now. Has trained his [censored] off, just mikes off it now.

Opened up like a can of worms.

Wings are vulnerable.

Our bottom six are getting exposed for skill deficiencies. 

Can't defend the corridor.

Howes in for Hunter??

It will be a good day when we can develop a smallish forward who can run hard all game like Nibbler, tackle like Nibbler, but make good decisions, kick well and not fumble below the knees constantly. So frustrating

  • 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.

  • 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?
