For mine:

Hibbo on

Smith forward

JJ off

Agree. We will need the extra smarts out the back today, and a little X factor in the goal square.

    Chill. We are good. Our defence is elite. They have spent many tickets. We will be OK

    Salem has had our second most disposals and every one looked like he was panicking.

    People are bagging JJ but he is at least running hard and making position. 
     

    Blues have 8 of the top 10 possession getters.

    Sparrow has had 4 possessions and turned two over for a massive 28 meters gained, 1 tackle, JJ has 10, 60% eff, 2 tackles 150meters game but JJ is the problem here for some. 
     

    If we don’t lift intensity up quite a lot they will steam roll us in the second half.

    Right in this game when we absolutely shouldn't be.

    Carlton playing as good a footy as they can and we are playing average... yet we're only down by 2 points!

    Get some players to lift and we got this.

    I don't think we're playing average. They are just all over it. We've taken our chances. They need to put us away.

    JJ has been much better than Sparrow who has 4 touches at 50% two turnovers, 1tackle 28 meters gained. I’d sub him before JJ.

    ANB could've gone deep to a contest then.  Instead tries to thread the needle through heavy traffic.  The distance was too far, inviting the intercept.

    Poor decision there from such an experienced player.  Turnover.... goal.

    I don’t know how many times Hewitt has been caught and just dropped it. 

    External review needed 

    I wonder if anyone has any connections to any big 4 consultancy firms who could readily assist? 🔎🔎🕵️‍♀️🕵️‍♀️

    • 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?
