Was the boo for Zorko due to anything off the ball tonight? Or just cause he’s a little [censored]?

At the ground and didn't see anything specific, I think its just bc he's an awful person.

    They killed us at the stoppages, and we are letting their wide onballers run free. But we are only 14 points down. Need Gawn to stop the big slaps to nowhere, and our mids to get their hands on the ball.

    Raynor's quarter:

    12 disposals

    7 contested possessions

    7 inside 50s

    6 clearances

    2 goal assists

     

     

    Absolutely punishing our lazy mids tonight. He is running off Windsor at will.

    Umpires copping the blame for a shambolic first quarter.

    Wrong. It's the woeful under-performance of most of our players.

    Oliver, van Rooyen, Petty, Windsor and Brown might as well have stayed on holiday in Adelaide.

    Oliver without a touch so far

    Whoever passed him fit needs to be SACKED Clearly not🤮

    Should never have played Oliver. Liability with that finger injury. I can see a 5+ goal loss coming our way. 

    First quarter and we look to be off our game a bit and half a step behind the Lions. Given the amount of time that ball spent in our defensive 50 I am surprised that we are only 2 goals down.

    Brisbane pressure was off the charts in that quarter and we were not clean with the ball in hand. We need to combat Brisbane by stepping up our pressure and putting them back on their heels. and making them think.

    Neale and Rayner causing problems and need to be contained.

    we deserve to be losing right now but the umpiring decisions aren't going our way either. they get every 50/50 and we get none.

    Viney and Oliver zero impact is a worry.

    Bbb no touch but to be fair the ball rarely goes inside our fifty.

    Salem down equals an injury every week.

    Need to rally.

    Umps pull your head in.

    You can't play soft, fumbly football and expect to compete.

    Starting to come around for a line forwards or backs cannot cross during play, this is just ruby.

    Fancy the lions serving up slop so far this year and here even hipwood is having a dip. To be fair though we are helping them along. Midfield getting thrashed, defence pretty poor. Sloppy, no marks, lots of passengers.

    Positive? Kolt looks the goods. Great kick to Fritta

    • 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?
