For all the doom and gloom, we are still in this. Massive rocket needed at half time. 

 
 

Howes, May, Lever and Tomo doing ok


All that effort

1.8 at half time

whens the draft?

Sparrow lacks consistency.

Goodwin is the opposite. He needs to make some changes. Jvr up the ground. Tracca up fwd  Laurie subbed off fgs. #Wake up Goody.

Back line holding up well for sure. Let down by poor skills/disposal further up the ground.

100%. It’s criminal that they’re not all on their bikes anytime the ball comes past half way

I have posts from 2022 and 2023 pointing this out multiple times. Yes there’s ignored leads but Jesus, Goodwin has had years to figure this out and thus far, opening rd 2024, here we are again!!! How??????

My kingdom for a genuine CHF...

2022  2023  &  ?

Laurie is soft af. No appetite for the contest. 

Where are the deft knock-ons and measured kicks into the 50 we saw plenty of vs Carlton when there was nothing on the line? I think the players freak out under pressure and revert to garbage habits. Strange for a premiership winning team but I guess that's where we're at. Ultimately these bad habits are the fault of the coaches though I suppose.


When Joeboy does his review, he’s got 66 or 69 words available to him. I’m willing to grant him the use of the word “lazy” about 30 times, in whatever mix he chooses. Max of 3 lazy’s for any one player. 

Nice Caleb

  • 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.

    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?
