Hey all, eyes off the umpires for a second and more onto our crud display. Can't hit the backside of a barn with our disposal right now.

Umpires aren't helping not paying holding the ball frees😡

    Nobody blew a whistle, why did he just stand there allowing the guy to rag doll him around whilst making no attempt to get rid of it

    I’d suggest that was an automatic response to, y’know, having taken the ball over the boundary line.

    Don’t care. Are you happy with our performance so far? They have not been amazing - spirited yes - but we’ve been sloppy and wasteful. Hand balling to guys under pressure. Fumbles. Guys not sighted all game.

    True. They need to go back to school

    What the fugg is going on with the umpiring fraternity?

    They have completely lost the plot!

    The problem is IMO there are too many of them no consistency. I see no evidence that 4 is proving better 3.

    Could barely have played worse, similar to Carlton yesterday.

    Such sloppy skills, spending it before we've earned it and dropping easy handballs (Petracca, Laurie, Salem).
    It's an attitude thing - the boys are not intense enough which is just bizarre given this win is going to lock in top 4 and it's Gawn and ANB's milestone games.

    I think the whole milestone game as motivation is oversold. Teams just as likely to play poorly imo

    No one could have stopped that

    Not just that but his either lost his man or given to much space on numerous occasions, at least 4 of there marks inside 50 I’d attribute to him

    Hawks cutting our zone up with deft short kicks and good delivery I50. They've been doing that to us for years

    Hard to see us going deep into finals dishing up this excrement at this time of year. 

    Not with this forward line

    I reckon it's about 1%

    Of course I’m not happy. 
     

    But the modern league is very competitive these days, and even teams who are low on the ladder find pockets of excellent form. I don’t see it as “Demons are being showed-up by duds”

    • 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?
