How many times are Richmond going to get away with holding the man every time we go inside forward 50 ?

    So Kozzie wins teh first clearance and has barely been back in there.

    Get him in there more.

    Funny how if you touch a guy off the ball it's [censored] city. But you can jump in to anyone and take them out

    Still a bit unclear on why Marlion Pickett is allowed to play matches right now. Will be very strange if he’s found guilty.

    Kosi has to play more in the middle. Richmond are cutting us up with pace. No Sparrow or Oliver is really hurting. 

    Poor defensive work all over the ground.

    As many as they do is the answer.

    Harmes just killing us. Hasn’t had an effective disposal and missed two sitters. Surely this is his last game

    Kozzie and Viney seemed very quiet that quarter. Pickett and Petracca needs to play more in the middle with Oliver and Sparrow out


    Need Kozzie in the middle 

    Melksham struggles to play constantly good. Chandler seems the same 

    Max lifted the last five minutes and it makes a huge difference. He's such a barometer.

     

    Everything coming off for Richmond, don't know how long that can last

    Tigers scoring 1/2 entries …. It is not sustainable - expect that to dry up.

    Also need a sweeper behind the ball at stoppage.

    A wide fast shootout against the Tigers is not the way to win. 
    We have to get on top in the contested possessions or we won’t win this. If we keep the game this open they’ll keep cutting us up. 
    I understand we want to play more attacking, but when it’s not working it’s not working. We know we can win a slog so make it a slog.

    Why, thought you are innocent until proven guilty.

    No composure. 
    we have none. So many dump kicks, hurried handballs. We need to compose ourselves. 
     

    When we have a clean centre bounce we need to keep the ball lower. So many long bombs.

    Need much more from Salem, JJ, Chandler all three need to get more involved. Hunter and Langdon need to win more contests on the wing.

    Bowey’s disposal hasn’t been great.

     

    We miss Sri’s and Clarrie on days like this when the opposition loves the contest as much of not more.

    FMD you useless [censored] umpire. Blow your [censored] whistle 

    It's not the umpires who have continually fumbled and missed straight-forward shots at goal.

    • 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?
