We'll take the 4 points but , sorry to say it , that was [censored] woeful !!!

I lost count of turnovers at about 500.

We must do better than that !

Yes, the turnovers were cruelling when these did not have to be ... the Dees allowed themselves to be hurried searching for spacemakers that never penetrated. Disco put in a good game - very handy with his ground coverage when it mattered. Well fought, Dees ... but it could have been a very prominent 'walkover' with a bit more thought and effort. Not too sure that Petty is 100% - he should be contributing more in terms of effective possessions and disposals.

I did think max was best over all of the 4 quarter. After half time he had a few more contributors to help him, but the hurst half was his

Interesting Kozzie saying they worked their “@%$3” off at training. 
 

Fatigue looked like a feature of the game. Looking forward to seeing them run ON TOP of the grass. 

 

- Petty to return to the back line were he belongs and contributes.

- BBB back forward 

- tmac out of the team

- Young Woey back to Casey

- Trac, Oliver,  Viney need a big week next week, playing well below par

Disco’s goal celebrations the highlight of the night for me. Fritta agrees 100%

Pros: 4 points, Disco! BOG by a country mile. The kids, generally. 

Cons: Lots of our stars quiet/sloppy. Too many turnovers. Not saying we will lose against the cats/blues, but if we play like that, we will. Need to sharpen up. Quick. Oh and Petty, the poor man’s Disco. WOG by a mile. Off to Casey pls.

Not very convincing but 4 pts, go Dees

Happy for Disco but that was a porridge game to watch.

Im not sure whats happened in the last 2 weeks.

 

That was swill that game.

How we won by doubling their score I'm sure I'll never know.

From the get go, kicking out on the full, missing set shots, kicking straight to Richmond player without any pressure on the kicker and worst of all the majority of our hand balls didn't go anywhere .

I'm sure we couldn't have played more poorly.

In the end we banged through some goals with better connection but there was still some sloppiness.

How poor are poor Richmond.

Petty out for sure.

Sparrow too.

I seriously think that was one of our worst efforts in at least  the last five years. Next week we play an unbeaten Geelong. We are in for a tough time. 

A win is a win. 
 

Geelong game will really show us where we’re at.

Jackson 2.0?

Fair dinkum, not invested, that's why he got crunched going back into a pack.

Everyone else, repeat after me 1,2,3, We trust the match committee- Turner was a great selection.

A good scoreboard, considering the number of passengers we had: Petty, Chandler, JVR, Sparrow.

Trac was fumbly. Clarrie and Viney were below their best. Fortunately Disco, Maxy, Rick and Maysie were on song.

How did Turner not win the medal?

BOG by the length of a BBB run-up

 

take a bow son.

He's like another Nev Jetta. 

I can see a rock solid player, swingman with this bloke.

Lever post match interview "worst kicking I think I've ever seen before half time"

At least we straightened up in the end.

El, to be honest, he lost me with the interview he gave at the Golf Course with Adelaide mates. That might be just me but I probably now view him from a negative standpoint.

He also doesn't appear to carry injury as well as others (of course, that's again me as just an onlooker).

But if he doesn't buy in, why play him? He's not the same bloke from our Premiership year. He's marking time. Hope I'm wrong.

 

 

Glad May is pleased , clearly happy over the top great to see

Got the win but gees. We're gonna get smashed by Carlton and Geelong if we don't get out act together. So many mistakes. Relying too much on too few.

Players come in and out of form at stages.  It's a long season.

But to have this many out of form, especially through the middle.  We simply have to get two out of the three amigos back to their best to have any chance against the Cats.

Then there's Petty.  He simply must take a spell at Casey to try and gain some match fitness and form.

At this stage i'd also look to bring Sestan in for Sparrow.  He probably isn't quite ready for a four quarter match but could come in as the sub with Laurie brought in to the interchange.

Was it really necessary to sign JVR for another FOUR years? Surely two would’ve been enough? Not saying he won’t make it, but seems a bit over the top for what he’s produced this year, another 5 years ahead, good luck to him 


If Shai Bolton got injured Richmond would well finish 18th this year. 

 

Disgraceful disposal. We made them look okay. 4 points is good but play like that next week and we will get done badly.

  • 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?
