Fortunate to be only 8 points down,  very fortunate

Not really with the 3 sitters we missed in the first. Sib out Harmes for Smith at halftime

 

This, team have a golden opportunity and Goodwin again gets it wrong at selection table. 

2nd qtr 

petty. JVR.  Trac 

Viney. Gawn. Trac. 
 

🤮Harmes. Woey.  Mcvee. Bowey.  Hunter.  Lots of missed tackles allowing tigers to keep movements 

👍🏻clearances Dees 22-17

🤡turnovers 34-Dees 40

 

Hunter is having a mare. 

4 free kicks to 2 in a half of footy umps have put the whistle away.  
 

This game will be won by who can maintain the rage for longer

Why, thought you are innocent until proven guilty.

Yeah, fair enough. I’m just thinking how odd these matches would seem in hindsight, should it go south. I can’t recall another example of an AFL player taking the field under such circumstances, but maybe it’s not unique. 
 

Edited by Mel Bourne

Our tackling weak and ineffective.

Set shot Goal kicking back to our worst.

Tigers very hard at the ball and man.

Still bombing forward instead of putting the ball in front of the player.

2 frees in a half and umps ignoring our forwards being held on every entry.

Our fumbling is superb.

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

Irrelevant comment.And he’s innocent

Is it just me, or does May look like he's treading water out there? Looks injured and very slow.

If it went south he might be in jail.

Anything up to ten unpaid free kicks to the half.

He was like that last week....


Oooof what a mess.

61pts against us, so far, in a half. Our backline is a mess and has been for a while. What happened to our fortress?

Typical for us to serve this [censored] after port and the lions open up an avenue to second place. 

And what the hell was that from Gus??

Kozzie back in the middle, just get Harmes to tag somebody, best use we can get from him, and EVERYBODY PULL THEIR FINGERS OUT and stop giving them cheap goals.

Of course Melbourne would stuff up this chance 

I could've sworn it was only half time?

He has never been that quick and he's not getting any younger.

Honestly our kicking has been woeful at times 

Surely not?

Not just you, looks to be injured or had lost more than a yard of pace and slow to react


Tigers with thirty more possessions. Need some more players to stand up like Trac and Viney. They can't do it all. That means you Jordan, Gus and Hunter 

We may be a goal behind but we are being well outplayed.

Tigers playing Bazball while we look like Australia. 

Why does Goody to take so long to activate the sub?

Do we have anyone else in reserve to replace Woey?He's had a good run but he's not doing much anymore.

Hopefully Chandler and Kozzie get involved in the game.

Not just you 

old slow and rubbish below knees

 

Our bottom six, Harmes, Chandler, Woey, Jordon, etc. really are ordinary.

Can’t help but think Hibbo would have been able to steady our defence when under pressure. Must play next week.

  • 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?
