Getting pretty much nothing from our forwards, and moving the ball sloppily from defence. We do look tired, as you'd expect.

    Lets face it.
    We're going about as good as the umpires right now.

    I don't think there was any reason not to see out the quarter without conceding. Why did Rivers go inboard?

    5 days break will do that to you

    the boys needed to sharpen up otherwise we're in trouble


    They were always going to come out firing

    7 shots to 2 and we are 5 points down 

    i’ll take that!

    Rivers first quarter kicking again. Grrr.

    Flat game of footy without lots of intensity. 

    We usually play and score so well from a halfback turnovers, but we can't seem to get it past the wing.

    Choppy game so far, I think we’ll be ok when it settles. Crows getting away with a fair few throws, drops, arm chops - looks like they’re getting unco allowance.

    Poor kicking performance so far from Riv. Turned it over with his last 3 kicks.

    Noise of affirmation working well

    Completely outcoached and outplayed that quarter

    Lucky they didn't kick straight

    Adelaide play a chip game.... you win 70 metres out from their goal and rebound

    Getting smashed in the middle and our foot skills have been bad. 

    Hopefully we’re saving the energy for.. . Well, from now because we can’t afford them entering the 50 like that all game, eventually they’ll improve conversion.

    Hard to see on the Telly, Is Oliver being tagged? Can’t seem to get near it.

    • 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?
