Will take that finish to the half any day of the week. We are getting skinned on the outside at the moment.

I cannot figure out why they are bouncing off so many tackles, we're winning the tackle count but there just isn't enough wrapping up.

To win this we will probably need to make it a score from clearances game. I'm on level 4 on the Wing so have a very good view of structure and setup. Kozzie was in the middle for the first bounce and no others. His pace at ground level can't be ignored, it WILL give them problems. Get him in there more for the love of God. 

And note to  opposition teams match day entertainment. No one cares for the are you paying attention thing, I'm trying to write this.

    It’s too risky to activate the sub this early. If we cop an injury we are in trouble. 
    They won’t make the change until late in the third at the earliest.

    Can someone explain why they think Kossie should be a midfielder?

    Because he wins the footy, pressures the opposition and is a decent kick going inside 50.

    Can you explain why he shouldn't be?

    Tigers are playing very good footy. Unfortunately Harmes missed those two shots at goal - he kicks those and his game looks very different. As it is he is worst on ground.

    I feel like we got sold a dud here. I thought he was a much better player

    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.

    The fortress is exhausted from saving their ars#s time after time week after week.

    It is inevitable

    And you forgot one important thing. He has PACE

    Without Clarry and Sparrow we are very one dimensional. Gus, Viney and JJ aren’t fast.

    If it went south he might be in jail.

    No “might” about it. Very serious charges, and previous form. Have there been any other examples of someone playing who’s out on bail?

    45 metres out on the run.  Players free and …

    miskick to tigers player. Ffs !!!

    He has been so slow all day.

     


    Kozzie won the first few centre clearances at the start of the match then goody put him in the forward line. 

    He creates something 

    We have to get on top in the contest. The only way to beat the Richmond chaos ball, is to get your hands on the ball more and first.

    Also because we are struggling for options in this department.

    Must get on top in the middle. If we invite too many defensive entries they are going to stuff us.

    Richmond kaos ball going i50 is showing up May and Lever, who both cannot bend over to get the ball. Their small/med forwards tearing up up

    Very damm simple he has no tank put him in for a full quarter and that's him, great speed in short bursts and sometimes that's how some players are, then they become a liability sooner him stay inside the 50 metre arc more dangerous.

    Melksham really struggles to play more than one good game in a row. Now it's three. Chandler only one good act. Jvr has been okay but needs to hold more marks.

     

    Tigers are desperately playing for their finals chances. We really have to step up in the second half. 

    Well this is the quarter we will see if we want a flag more than these pretenders want to scrape into the eight.

      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?
