Very sloppy from us and missing targets and goals. Hope this isn’t an indication of the season ahead.

Watching on TV. Could see Trac on his haunches and looking a little bit uncomfortable early in this 2nd term and haven’t seen him since.
 

Can anyone at the game see him?

I mentioned that earlier. I just saw him back on the field on tv. 

 

We are like a set of 18 candles on a birthday cake, I blow and we all go out!


We are bursting from half back but then trying to pick out insane long options, the idea of moving it quicker from half back is you have more space and time when you do get in the front half.

The number of times we’ve burnt free options at half forward that would’ve then wheeled in to open 50’s have been astronomical.

First 20 minutes we hit up all the half forwards 

 

Our kicking and decision making is sub VFL-2nds level today.

Could only assume they’ve shunned ball-work for running in the off-season but we’re getting run off our feet so that can’t be it.

This is probably the closet Blake Howes gets to afl level any time soon

i'd just like to see no injuries tbh

I agree with you though, there are some bad signs.

But, Koz looks good on the ball, just needs to clean up some disposal. Billings looks like a handy pick up. Roo looks rady to take the next step.

But yes, careless turnovers will the ball are making us look second rate. And that is a big worry. But a lot of them are happening from the younger brigade.

Langton got pushed in the back in Marking contest  play on 

Balta gets pushed in the back have another shot at goal 

Not much love from the maggots

Make that 10 goals in a row from the tigers. That’s bad whether it’s preseason, scratch match or in season.

Bad decision making, bad kicking, bad turnovers and no pressure when the Tiges are in transition 

Not the start we were hoping for after all the noise in the off season

No Oliver no Dees! Our training form elite, our match form shizzen


Any chance of a score

Fair summary 

What’s happened to Windsor? I’m still waiting on my digital membership code to come through? Sounds like they’re doing me a favour not sending it through…..

  • 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?
