I’m confused as to whether it’s decision making or execution with some of these kicks. We’re not going anywhere this year

its both

    Looks like a bottom 8 clash right now. I'm seriously worried about this season. I thought we'd fixed a lot of what undid us in 22 and 23 from rounds 1-4 but the last 2 weeks have been a real step backward.

    My prediction is the Tigers will throw everything they can muster at us early.

    Possibly even heading into half-time in front. 

    Then this particular thread will become a place of darkness. Season over. Certain players will be told to never play for us again. 

    Then the more well-rounded team (ours) will systematically carve it’s way to a 42-point win. 

    Hooray! 
     

     

    All going to plan, folks.

    Structure excellent, intercept game on but no execution whatsoever.

    Why would Lever do that?

    He was under no pressure at all and just kicks it straight in the middle as if passing to a tigers player.

    What has happened to our skills?

    The disturbing thing is that the really poor kicking has been under practically no pressure at all. None!

    How are we going to go in the next 3 weeks once the blow torch is applied.

    It's been years since I've seen such poor skills by this team. 

    After last week against the Lions. I'm perplexed.

    Have we considered simply not kicking it to Richmond players while under no pressure?

    Might be worth looking into.

    This is awesome. Getting beaten by the behemoths that were beaten by the eagles. Currently 16th!

    How have we regressed? This is not a fatigue thing. We’ve had plennnttty of rest. Poor skills, no vision. 3 goals in a half. 

    Two bottom 8 teams going at it right now.

    Pathetic 

    Melbourne beating Melbourne tonight. Absolute horrid turnovers resulting in direct Richmond goals.

    That is the most lifeless, leaderless, selfish half of footy I can recall by us. There is a lack of run, effort, dare. Some of the worst kicking execution and decision making I can recall. Where is this alleged "brand that our supporters can be proud of". Pull your finger out Dees.

    Have any of our players kicked a footy in the past 13 days? This is just embarrassing. 

    The most frustrating half of football I've watched in 5 years. Turnover central

    And there will be no crutch of 3 game in 13 days fatigue for this one. Sorry guys 

    Folks we are a mid ladder team.

    Temper your expectations, we have disposal that is laughable along with low IQ decision making. The pressure turns up, we turn to water.

    This is a depleted Richmond side we are playing.

    yep, not looking good. we are seriously unable to score, same ole for how many seasons now?

    We've given them a huge sniff.

    No excuses re three matches in thirteen tonight.

    This is as bad as we've played since the 2019 horror show.

    • 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?
