Bailey Laurie has not offered much today 

But somehow more than Petracca

 

Tomlinson has been good.

    A better quarter, game is not really on our terms. I liked the use of tempo footy, needed to make the Hawks do some running without the footy. Coaching staff know what they're doing.

    Has alot of mates today 

    Some real Bin Diesel performances 

    Still not clicking at all and with Hawthorn having 2 of our 3 most important players missing makes it worse. Too many players have been underwelming.

    I couldn't believe the stats 0.0, 2 disposals. I hope his tackling is off the charts otherwise....

    I am beginning to think May doesn't have a right eye. Never kicks to the right, never looks to the right. Twice he had a wide open switch to the right and went down the left to 20 players.

    It’s impossible to enjoy watching Melbourne games. Never put sides away early and result always in doubt.

    Btw my constant issue, we are going at 50% kicking efficiency to 87%. Why is that?

    Hawks never kick out from a behind to a contest. May... most times

    Kozzie:

    - underperforms for several rounds. 

    - causes debate among the supporters

    - questions asked by the pundits 

    - plays an absolute blinder

    - dissenting voices told to eat their words 

    Repeat.

    Replace Laurie with Schache. Maybe he could take a mark inside 50.

    Wouldn't hurt

    Ditto Salem. There was one play he marks in the middle of our D50 with the right side of the field wide open to run and carry, kick to space. He just stays static for 10 seconds looking at the left (from where the ball came from originally) 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

    Nibbler been very good.  Melk of course.

    Viney fabulous

    Smithy's done well

     

    Just like the Carlton game.......

    Poor by Bowey then.

      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?
