Solid half of footy.  We have been quite fumble at times, so a bit to tidy up.  Great to see McVee in great form at times.  
 

Biggest frustration that half for me was Rivers kicking.  Missed a short one that gave up a goal which happens.  The real frustration is when he kicks long and it goes super high and takes for ever to get there.  Kick it long, fast and flat and it becomes a weapon.

I think he does it on purpose to allow a player to run into the kick and create a contest.

    I love Riv, but I think his short disposal game can be questionable at times 

    I think he just makes overly aggressive decisions. Tommy McDonald did the same thing when he was around the same age. It's an education thing not a skill thing I think.

    I think we have largely been poor except for a handful of players and where in front, will definitely take that. If we can get a more even spread across the players in the second half we should get the win.

    Kozzie gone at least a week for that hit imo.

     

     

    Yep he's in trouble.

    He's letting the team down with that stuff. 

    Needs to stop asap.

    Clayton's having a bad night, hope he can lift in the next half, billings needs to improve his disposal efficiency is pretty poor.  he is not the only one, but two of his kicks could easily have been goals. Which ever one cannot lift early in the 3rd quarter probably needs to be sub'd off. I dont understand this umpiring crows players are tackled and do 360 turns before getting rid of the ball or dropping it an nothing. we have one player stripped of the ball seconds after getting it and its dropping the ball. inconsistency in their calling of holding the ball and dropping the ball is getting ridiculous.

    That was accidental mate, you've got to be kidding.

    If you don’t think they will give him a week for that then you haven’t been paying attention, I don’t agree with it but he will get a week I would be shocked if he doesn’t

    Plenty to like. Chandler's goalkicking.

    Petracca's game.

    Petty competitive.

    McVee is such a gun.

    TMac playing his role.

    Kozzie making an impact.

    Dislikes: Billings seems to hear footsteps. 

    Howes seems overawed.

    Three talls with Petty, JvR and BBB seems one too many.

    Dunstall actually sticking up for Kozzies hit/bump. The world has gone completely mad.

    ANB continuing the good form as well IMO. McDonald, Lever, and McGee have all been great as well in defence.

    Is that Buster McGee?

    Why does he keep putting himself in these situations?

    A good question BBP. There’s physical then there’s dirty.

    Leadership should be bringing it up with him. He’s such a valuable player for us, he can’t help us if he continually gets suspended.

    Minimum of two weeks for Koz , and may even be as high as 4 , being intentional, head high and having priors.

    Silly boy

    I’ve been paying attention and it looked ok to me 

    If one of their duffers did that I wouldn’t be howling for a suspension 

    Really disappointing kozzy constantly does this [censored]. He’s really going to been known for this after his career if he continues and will over shadow all the good things he can do.

    When Windsor does something, he has impact. His touch forcing the ball over the boundary line in the back pocket stopping a crom player running into an open was smart and impactful. 
     

    his one arm handed grab of the ball at full pace on the wing moving forward was another special moment. 
     

    the kid has the goods and oozes class. Imagine when he learns to get the ball more often….

    Geez, when was the last time you saw the MRO results? It’ll be 1 week max just like King.

    Silence from the crows fans in the moment

    • 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?

      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?
