Terrible decision 

 

Getting embarrassing. Every single time they go forward they get a shot. Every single time the ball is in the air they contest it. They win almost every ground ball.  

This is comfortably an 8-9 goal loss atm. All that saves us is a North capitulation. 


I can’t see us turning this around. We look completely disinterested

    Salem having a pathetic game

    I've never seen him hack kick it so much.

    His disposal is usually so sweet

     

    Centre bounce landed outside the circle, with no opportunity for Roo to contest it. Play on clearance to the Roos.


    We've come into this game just thinking it's going to work out. You can tell by the loose disposals. We kicking/handballing like the target is just going to win the 1v1 against the north player. Show some respect or we're going to lose.

    Umpires need to stick to throwing the ball up. They have had a shocker.

    Chandler very poor.

    Do these players not realise they are playing for their finals spots?


    Good lord Harmes is a liability

    There's been quite a few land outside today.

    I don't understand why they persist with bounces. Just chuck it up


     

    Some proper ball movement there for the first time in the game and we get an easy contested mark. The Roos are not a good side, so as long as we're able to bring our level up to something halfway reasonable we'll still win.

    We have lifted but let's be honest we couldn't have got any worse 

    The way norf have just run around us has been embarrassing.

    Trac getting involved.

    Gus has been good.

    • 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?

      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?
