Surely Trac will have a better second half 

I know he's being tagged but Tracca always has better second halves than firsts for some reason.

  I wouldn’t describe our forward line or even attacking game as explosive. 

Tedious, spluttering and inaccurate perhaps?

 

Chins ok. Had a tough game, Taj going ok, both may have a better half.

Billings out Bill Laurie in.

1st half

The good running. Defence.  Structure.  

👏Petty.  McVee. May. Lever. Sparrow. Lingers  

 

The bad😡goalkicking is TERRIBLE. JVR. PICKETT. BILLINGS. JVR. GAWN. All are TERRIBLE. 


🤨Billings 🤨Chandler 🤨

 🤢Trac. Fumbles and handballs.  One kick in a half.  More intensity. Less meatballs!!! 

we’re lucky they also have butchered their opps. but reckon we should be 3 goals up. 

Petty may have had a couple of clangers but he's well and truly back with those marks. Hard to stop with that timing.

What’s happened to our midfield?

I’ve been wondering for the last month. Something doesn’t smell right. 
 

Trac getting tagged every week, Viney out of form. Oliver back to the pack and we are not really better than the average midfield.

Trac needs to kick those 

If he could he would be weapon up fwd.

 Ugly footy.
The Melbourne way.



We don’t have enough dangerous players when the ball hits the ground i50. It’s Pickett or no-one at the moment.

This is a million times better moving forward. Be patient and present with good kickers entering f50.

  • 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?
