Sorry for the repeat posts.

Phone playing up.

I'd sub Woey on for Chin. Surely.

I don't think I've seen blues penalized once for htb.

Funny last week it was  7 out of 10 frees .

I was going to say our backline has imploded tonight but if our midfielders let them waltz it out of the middle then it's tough.

Pickett fence you were right Jvr is having a rough season.

Kozzie simply took his eyes off the goal then. Looked away for some strange reason and missed 

What a shame we let the blues kick the first five.

We have responded well this quarter.

Of course the umpires haven't given Carlton another dozen frees in the 2 nd and 3 rd.

Gee there have been some really unforced and lazy efforts by not a few tonight.

I hope Goody drops a few.

Billings one.

 

BILLINGS NEEDS TO BE DROPPED.

    Fritta really needs to lift. Petty has gone back to playing bad footy.

    What is it with Thursday night games and our capacity not to play well

    We did alright against Crows

    Half chance 

    Fritsch. Kozzzy.  Chandler.  Kozzy. 
     

    all missed.  
     

    needed to get 3 of those.  Not desperate enough 

     

    chin off.  Woey on !!!

    We need to learn from this game and stop gifting games to any player out of form. 

    I agree Sam.

    Unfortunately Goody is stubborn and seldom makes statement changes.


    Won't win but I reckon we'll get within 20 points

    one or two more to end the quarter.

    First things first we CANNOT concede the quick reply from the blues as they have done all game. 

    We really need to snag two more to keep this to 3 goals in the last. 


    Gee we have ruled this quarter.

    Lost it at the start with being asleep and some shocking umpiring.

    Remove the latter from the first quarter and we would be down by two or three goals.

    Well that would be a better result.

    Bowsa might’ve been the wromg option on a wet night.  Plays the short game too often which is not what's needed in the wet.  And the decision to kick to the smallest guy in the forward line coming in under little pressure.

    Probably needed a run at Casey first and kept playing Woey on a dewey night who plays a longer game.

    Chin trying hard but doesn't impact often enough when he gets his opportunities for mine.  And aside from a few moments in this quarter his F50 pressure in general hasn't been at the  level you'd expect from a small pressure forward.

    Classic Langdon undercooking a shot on goal at a pivotal moment.

    Billing’s that’s enough. How many chances 

    C'mon I saw him kick it to a team mate who marked it.

    What more do you want?

    • 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?
