My god our backline is struggling today 

Talk to the mids. Too easy for them.

A better quarter from us, out worked them and levelled up the uncontested ball. Playing helter skelter footy was playing into their hands, looking at more composed and making the Tigers do a bit more running without the ball. They also look like they are starting to tire as they were missing the mark with basic skills that they were hitting with ease in the first half.

Anyone's game, hope we can kick a few early, got vibes from Geelong a few weeks ago so need to start the quarter very well.

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. 

Not if he doesn't get his hands on it

 

Tigers started going down the line rather than running the ball through the mid, maybe a result of tiring

Got that on our terms. Tiges will keep coming. If we are serious in 23 then we need to impose ourselves right now.

    If someone told me Petty had four... Melksham and Jvr three at three quarters...I'd have bet the farm.

    They are punching it and kicking off the ground to get it forward, where they can run onto it.

    We should be doing the same as fast entry will win it.

    10 inside 50s for 0 points. One inside 50 for a goal. It’s so frustrating

    The justification for Nibbler in the team is getting harder to swallow.

    • 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?
