Been feeling this for a while but tonight it has come to a head......we are so f$#@ing boring to watch. 

 

Other than 2021 finals we've always been boring bar the occasional quarter

 

There's no run and gun in this team.

Playing momentum footy for no reason has played right into the depleted Tiger's hands and they will now have massive belief coming into the rooms at half time.

As someone said earlier...no leadership out there anywhere so far.

Maxy had a chance to set things up and settle the team with two in a row and instead went for the hero kick... ughh

Yze knows it’s pressure that beats Melbourne 

What happened to our skills ?

Imagine if we played a good side tonight like Geelong ? Would it be a 100 point drubbing.

Maybe last week wasn’t an abomination?

Don’t worry, this is made for the super sub Bailey to come in and look like a million dollars. 

His woeful skills and decision making will fit right in with his teammates.

That is the worst half of kicking turnovers I have seen from MFC ever. 

 

There were worse during the Nield years!

It has been a putrid match so far. Skills from both sides atrocious. Umpiring poor both ways. On form it's hard to see how we're a legitimate contender this year with such poor forward connection and conversion. Seems we haven't fixed our main issue of the last two years.


Why does T Mac think he can kick a accurate pass off one step?

he is good when he knows his limitations. 

that turnover was soul destroying

I don’t even know what position Petty is playing. I don’t think he knows. 

He's a waste of a list spot in 2024. Let's hope he comes good before finals or nets us a first round pick when he pisses off to Adelaide.

There's no pressure on half of the missed passes.

Petty can go back to S.A useless

My god we are playing pathetic football. Our skills are more akin to a bottom 4 team, not top 4 (or even top 8).

Our forward line is a basket case, our delivery not much better.

How much longer will our backline be able to keep our sinking ship afloat?


I’m at the ground and watching Petty run around like a headless chook. 
Not only does he not offer a target, his opponent (Miller) runs from him with ease. Yes, I know he had no preseason and he has already had more disposals than he had last match (3 cf 2).

Yeah, nothing compared to the game against Brisbane. Are they still spooked from that game and feel the tigers are on top of them as the Lions did? It looks like that!

Ditto. Beautiful conditions.  Laziness is the word. Pure laziness.

  • 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.

    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?
