Kozzi, Salem, Viney all solid

we started to get our structure right in the last 7-8 mins

itll come. 

Brown needs to aggressively attack the ball not just wait for it. 

and we generally need to go in harder and win contested footy at stoppages

    Well we had a chance to recruit McKay or Curnow, yet we decided to draft Weideman.

    Thanks for the history lesson 

    Eagles have done at least 4 incorrect disposals / throws not penalised.  
     

    And why do the umpires  try to coach?  If thee is a block, penalise it and the message will get through.

    Really think it's time to go past Ben Brown.  Hope he proves me wrong for the rest of the game but I think he is cooked.

    If the rest stopped kicking it behind him or over his head he’d look better

    A very useless comment to make 9 years down the track  🙄

    Not that far behind on the scoreboard and plenty of time left in this. We'll still win from here, but there are some serious problems we need to address if we're going to compete for a flag again this year and the next few. Our midfield has been horrible this year. Horrible. Our forward line doesn't have the right personnel, but the midfield does them no favors.

    Are you sure?

    Harley Reid alone could tear our midfield apart. Same old [censored], poor centre clearance.

    With all the supply their forwards are going to get it looks dire.

    Why do we lose first quarters so often.

    There is something wrong with our game prep for sure.

    The lazy kicky to players is killing us.

    Some of these blokes need a rocket up them  during the break.

    Salo first game back excellent.

    We don't deserve top 4, the way we are playing and the luck some of the other teams have (see Port and Collingwood). We will be lucky to play finals. 

    Unless things change drastically we are not a contender this season, simple as that.

    not simple as that at all

    3 weeks ago Giants and Cats were unbeatable and flag favourites 

    when we win this game we will be third


    For the life of me when will our club ever find a gun , even the bottom teams have better power fwds and our so called A grade mids look d grade

    I read your posts and I want to contact the boss of Guinness Book of World Records. If there's a record for relentlessly posting "we're doomed, we're doomed, don't you know we're doomed" posts, surely you've just surpassed it El Diatribe.

    Have you thought about one per quarter?

    I noticed Kossie leave the ground to bump high again early in that quarter. So much for learning his lesson. Very lucky he missed completely

    It mostly comes back to the mids getting some two way running into their game and hitting targets as we transition forward with some speed on the ball.

    The stop and prop possession / momentum game is a killer for forwards and there's no need for it unless you ARE needing to arrest momentum later in a game or icing / protecting a lead.

    Viney needs to get more accurate in general.  Massive turnover king this season which is killing many of our transitions forward.

    Sparrow on the wing like it’s 2020.

    No cohesion with the forwards. 

    May and Gawn giving nothing. 

    Oliver coughing it up. No cohesion with Viney, Oliver and most of the mids.

    Shes going to get ugly

    • 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?
