We are not good enough this season I fear.

I am starting to fear the same thing. Our worst is as bad as any, and our stock standard footy appears below Sydney etc... Our best is still as good as any but we are lucky to produce it for half a game. And our field kicking remains our Achilles heel.

    Nice if Fritsch to take the week off again. 

    He’s a deeply unserious footballer at the moment 

    Aren’t we meant to be winning this game easily?

    Again we aren’t as good what many believe we are.

    Mid table team.

    Disagree can’t stand them, they have no idea.

    how do you stop a sling tackle? Blow the f%%%%ing whistle early.AFL has no idea how to adjudicate to stop injuries.

    Yes we [censored] the bed, but stuff the umpires too

     

     

    It ain’t the umpires

    The non free kick against Reid for holding the ball really annoyed me. Thats holding the ball against 99% of players. 

    You can’t adjudicate the rules differently because you want him to keep taking the game again. Thats not how it works.

    It is how it works though

    and club presidents stand by, mute

    Except Petracca. Goes to the middle and wins some key clearances, goes forward and kicks goals.

    On both sides there were numerous tackles that should easily have been htb.

    It's been poorly umpired all season

    svorung shots 7-15 😡😡

    Inside 50s. 15-27😡😡😡

    centre clearances 5 - 9😡😡😡

    turnovers 37-30 😡😡😡 

    how bad??! 

    Sparrow is the new captain fumbles 🤢

    our midfield is one- / no-paced and the way they move away from stoppages with ease is a bit of a worry

    it's more or less a carbon copy of when they dominated flagmantle

    Been well held again.

    I expect a few from him soon though.

    Tends to impact games in busts.

    At least I hope so.

    I’ll keep questioning him and 1000 of his cheersquad will tell me I’m wrong. Vest next week please. He could be handy in a last quarter

    And we are now not focusing on contest which was our jam.

    Any chance Goodwin tags Reid , our field kicking is poor, our contested ball getting smashed 

    Gawn, Tracc, Oliver and Viney are all poor kicks.

    Who are our elite kicks in the midfield???

    Fritsch is our real barometer, he plays well when the team does and does SFA when we struggle.

    Hes way too flaky after being in the system for years. Then again, you could say that about our entire team atm.

    Don't be silly. Goodwin is anti tag.

    Look at James Jordon now. Currently one of the best taggers in the AFL purely because horse Longmire actually finds different elements from a player that he knows will benefit the team.

    Goody is one dimensional with the way he uses our players.

    Will Schofield hates Melbourne. He was the one who got reported for hitting Clarrie and then Damien Martin called Oliver a stager on Twitter.

    Turn the volume down. He’s not going to do anything but barrack against us.

    • 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?
