Billings has no awareness. his man slipped over when he took the mark but billings wasn't paying attention. He could have played on and had plenty of space in front of him to do so.

i complain about billings every week so you could accuse me of bias. fair enough. but billings is not the answer imo

I don't rate him at all! 

 

Really difficult to watch this. Our kicking and physical intensity have been horrid. Even when we do begin winning contests etc... our kicking for goal (4 of them from within 30 metres) is like country reserves footy. 

Petty has played 1 good game in 5 and the rest he has been invisible

we needed him tonight. not talking just goals but just to compete and hold the ball in

 

Reid is making us look second rate in the midfield. I'll be surprised if we get back from here. The Eagles look better than us today.

    Billings has to go now. He’s deplorable by foot, and that was the only reason we got him.

    He infuriates me.

    BBB is a very good person and has been  a very good player - but not for the future.

     

    Salem is not a midfielder - his disposal is not as good as it was and he is too slow.

     

    Now is the time for our good players to stand up.

     Billings.  Saints are laughing at us.  He is a spud.  Goalkicking like a dyslexic person at a spelling bee !!!! 

    I think the AFL world are laughing at the Saints

     

    Lucky to be only 3 goals down. We can still win this. But certainly don't deserve to

    This is a much worse result than the 2018 prelim IMO. Simply haven’t turned up and we don’t have the cattle to win a flag, or even a final at this rate. Petty, Brown, Billings all cooked. How we can butcher the ball so badly is beyond me. Absolutely gutless and disgraceful effort given the importance of the 4 points. 

    Goody nerds to take our mids after this game and give them a decent kick in the bum.

    Oliver16 disposals 

    Tracca 16 disposals.

    Viney 14 disposals.

    Sparrow 9 disposals ( very low)

    Harley Reid a young kid panting them all.

    This is the third last team.

    Chandler too has gone into a big slump like he did last year.

    Edited by leave it to deever

    Yeah, what is the story. I have no faith in Billing's by foot. I don't understand why we traded him.

    If we're fair dinkum this year we win.

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

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

    Mid table team.

    We have the talent, we lose it above the shoulders.

    This is going to be up there with our loss to Sydney in 1993.


    meth coke will end up winning by 5-7 goals imo

    losing lever in first 5 mins was a blow, but their pace is what is destroying us

    it's a carbon copy of when meth coke knocked off flagmantle; just too quick and reid is a superdooperstar

    Simple the game has changed, we haven't since 21.

    We’ve changed, for the worse. Attempted to reverse engineer something like 2020 Richmond and haven’t added the list pieces to fill the gaps for where the game is going 

     

    Not enough run in this team.  Too stagnant in general which brings the heat

    • 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?
