Kolt hasn’t done a lot but at least is energetic and attacks the contest. Some of the others could follow his example e.g Billings

    Don't recommend it IHW. Even if you get bail before I'm back in Mt Eliza.

    Move Petty back & T Mac forward. Worth a try at least.

    Petty's a liability mate

    Umpires gave one goal to Brisbane. Our Defender gave them 2 more, see Howes turnover and May's 50m penalty.

    Shaping up to be our worst  performance since the Port loss in 2020 at the Gabba.

    Have to agree.

    Well he's two disposals above Bbb. .Fritta and Petty the latter who has had zero touches.

    Petty no touches in a half.....hmmm.

    Not sure why he thought his [censored] poor effort chasing that ball to the boundary was so funny.

    Days like this is what makes you wonder how do the coaches prepare a team for this type of match? 7 day rest and we look like we didn't train during the week.


    Gotta say so far Joey Montagna is 1000000000000000% on the money sadly

    Too many passengers, other posters have named them. Worst half of football I can remember. Pathetic. Maybe we should consider moving our home games to the Adelaide Oval. This supposed home ground of ours holds absolutely no fear for anyone. Glad I got sick and couldnt go.

    If he hasn't been extended by the end of July, consider him gone I think.

    The TAB has the line at 26.5pts so if we can get the final result under 4 goals then the night won’t be a complete disaster and we’ve salvaged a bit of percentage.

    Show some fight for a bloke playing his first game FFS

    Missing Kosi badly. Could spark our midfield right now. 

    I hear you Jaded but that's all on him. Thanks Mr elevated elbows. I love your skills but your agro needs to go. What good are you if your suspended every month?

    Godspeed

    Well at least the Haymes paint all the goals video will be short maybe they can skip it this week

    Any ideas coming out of the coaches box this evening? have not seen any positive moves they might have made. 

    How about swapping petty and Tmac for a quarter? we might get a bit more out of Petty at least.

    Have to try something.  T-Mac swap might work.

    JVR plays mostly ruck.  Max goes forward.

    What to do with Billings & BBB.  Both need to lift big time.

    Same with mid field.

    Really missing Kozzy's class,  pressure including his occasional stints in the middle.

    A few are still in form but too many are flat as a tack.

    The ball also hasn't bounced our way alot tonight 

    The glaring ump error against Clarry was a shocker.

    Somehow need to free Tracc up.  I'd be playing him forward for a stint early this quarter.

    Kolt in the middle for a while when Tracc is forward and see if he can spark something maybe.  Too soon?


    Why are playing scared and soft footy. 
     

    Lions are like Clubber Lang. Hungry 

     

    Time to stand up Dees and fight

    Ok glad I didn’t watch much of that qtr.

    It may be self-punishment but I’ll watch after half time to see if we’re actually going to do/change anything.

     Midfield need to pick up. Take marks. Run the lions ragged. Kick lots of goals 

     

    What in the world is the reason we have not won a centre clearance for so long.

    Not just this game

    • 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?
