should be an easy win once we get our competitiveness back

Harris needs to show something or i’d drop her. 

The rate we're going, we won't need too.

well this hasnt started well

Opportunities to attack have been squandered repeatedly by weak, half bandpasses failing to find targets or not carrying to the targeted player. looking reactive and lost.

 

Can someone explain what has happened to this side? Did we really just beat up on minnows all year?


And it gets better.......

looking that way... the win against North was good but the opposition have learnt that if you close down the run we have no chance

Can we actually take a mark...

This is total [censored] by the team...

They have fallen off cliff.

A cliff seems like the perfect analogy.

I'm perplexed. It wasn't just the opposition, we were playing amazing footy in the first half of the season.

Our drop off across all lines is just mind blowing.

Getting absolutely smashed around the stoppages, Morrison and McDonald have bought their own footy

Our disposal is the worst I’ve ever seen


We all thought that keeping this list together was a good thing, but the reality is that we haven't added to the group in recent years and other teams have gone past us. 

We need to find a way to add foot skills and pace at year end. If that means trading a few experienced players (eg Mithen, Birch, Gay, etc), so be it. 

garbage GIF

geeloong taking every opportunity we give them


Disposal is TERRIBLE. Lost all skill suddenly. Very poor. Stinnear?!?!?! 
 

0.4 v lions in last half 

1.3 v Kangas in a full game 

0.3 v cats in 1st half 

best players … Rushed 

come on Dees !!!

First one traded out should be Mithen. Disposal is atrocious.

And despite all the games played together, it looks for all the world like they've never played with each other in their lives. Absolutely zero connection.

  • 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?
