Jeez we are good at turning an advantage call into a mess. 

Some bloody composure would be nice FFS.

 

1 goal 6 same [censored] AS PREVIOUS JUST SHIZZEN GOODNIGHT!

Wow, this is everything that was bad about our game last year. 


Great passage of play, but look where we kick it to - the pocket, which may as well be the 10th row.

Looks like it's the exact same Melbourne we saw last year. No difference whatsoever.

 

1st quarter

Xx kicking efficiency horrible 

Xx goalkicking Spargo Fritsch

Back to Van Diemens Land

It’s interesting to watch the clash of styles, good kicking versus terrible kicking. Which will win?! Tune in to find out.

Worst sports job in Australia would be playing in Melbourne's forward line.


Looks exactly the same as last year so far

WASTING POSSESSIONS

Fix it up Goodwin

Bad kicking is bad football and all that 

Really is as simple as that 

Game style hasn't and just won't change.

Not looking sharpe at the moment, they look like they are rusty in the touch if the footy.  Had opportunities l, just need to capitalise on the this qtr.   swan got a definite plan going. 


Didn't like that first quarter. Our ball movement is still stagnant or kick in hope. We're burning all our chances. We've got a few who are seriously lacking intensity out there too.

Viney digging in as always though. Such a warrior and the ultimate team mate. Follow his lead boys!

Liking some of the efforts by Schache. Sparrow looks stronger than previously.

  • 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?
