POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

Can anyone clarify if Bowey was injured or if he was simply a tactical sub? If the latter, surely Turner, Petty or JVR would've been a better option to take off considering the conditions?

On that note, I thought Woewodin showed a bit when he came on. Nine touches in the final quarter.

    AFL will come out and say they made a mistake on that sling tackle free kick

    Which means we won, again, against Carlton, except for the umpiring.

    unbelievable.

    Yes but that's all they'll admit. Forget the 11 to 3 anomaly of putrid softies that helped a five zip insurmountable first quarter lead. The game was won with that and then lost by the one they might decide to admit.

    It's a double whammy.

    Because we were good enough in the end but despite the anomaly we were putrid at the start.

    Jack Viney was missing first three quarters. 

    Our 3 tall fwds were missing and with Fritta down that's all folks.

    Full credit to Tracca tonight.

    Anb was great for me.

    What a painful loss from a game that could have at least been a draw if we could have pushed a point on the first.

    Again to not score on the first quarter means our preparation is really out of whack.

    Are we meditating beforehand?

    It's a strange way to play.

    everyone knew how to beat the old melbourne- outside run and don’t  commit too many to the contest. 

     

    the new melbourne is harder to beat, so we helpfully do that ourselves with lousy score return on forward entries. 

     

    When do we think about a change of forward coaching personnel.  Everyone knows it’s a pattern. everyone knows  that’ if it’s fixed, we win big. 

    it’s been happening for years.

    Of course he did. He’s dishonest like the rest of them.

    Us winning would have been robbery. 2nd best for 3 1/2 quarters by a long way 

    we absolutely dominated the last half, 4 goals to 8.

    Worst 1st quarter I have seen since the Neeld era, just dont get it.

    Should have beaten these clowns.

     

     

    It wasn't that bad, first 10 minutes we were in

     There was a chop to the arm to Petty, should have been paid free kick in front of goal.

    Then we panicked after 3 goals from them, felt we needed to score ASAP and got sloppy.

    I would have subbed Woey on at half time. That was slow from Goody. Tracca fwd was great but Goody missed that one.

    I’ll say it again. 
     

    “Hey @Binmans PA  remember when you so arrogantly shut me down after the Richmond game, when I said we were belted in the stoppages and out of the middle.”

    Remember how I said that would bite us in the [censored] against Carlton? Wheres your smug reply to this now?”

    The better team, again, scored more shots but fluffed it (easy misses, a complete.no-show in q1) and was done by the umps (that dangerous tackle was simply fraudulent), but yet we walk away with nothing. Again. 

    Proud of the boys for not giving up, but I really hate seeing the blues after these games. 

    Nothing for the boys to be ashamed of as a result of that last quarter and their persistence in the third quarter beforehand. We know what happened, we know how it happened.

    We need to fix going for long periods without scoring. It's becoming habitual.

    Umps hands all over this game, yes we were [censored] 1st qtr but this is shameful.

    Chosen club this year I’m afraid to say, too many dodgy decisions to think otherwise.

    Throw in the “Dangerous” tackle. The AFL is almost unwatchable. Once our Era is over, I think I’ll be reverting back to local footy.

    I am sorry for being too harsh on the team at HT.

    Great comeback and we deserved the win.

    Carlton are an ordinary team, will be making the numbers come September.

    • 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?
