Chin isn’t the smartest footballer going around. Needs to stay composed and have some peripheral vision.

    Clarrys defensive work ethic in back pocket was non existent-  a few danger signs…


    This is a really poor quarter

    We dont defend the handball chain through the corridor well at all, classic dees game, dominate most of the game and only up by 2 goals at halftime.

    Clarry has zero defensive IQ full stop. Great midfield bull

    Two weeks in a row May is getting beaten. Needs to find some form.

    And we don't have a gun tall fwd like a King.

    Thank Goodness for Fritta but he can't kick all our goals.

    You can predict which way this is going to go.

    We have garbage forwards and zero structure, sack Stafford!

    Neither mids or forwards have any idea what to do when we get it 80m out

    Gee goody needs to fix these players attitude.  Pathetic quarter & our good players need to start dominating.

    Tommo is playing well though 

     

    You can also file this under the road to top 4 thread. 

    We are not a top 4 team 

    Sloppy skills, can’t kick, we’re making the saints look good now haha

    Lame

    Sorry everyone, I went and put on a scarf in the first quarter break while watching at home in Sydney.  Haven't unpacked the gear from when I last visited Melbourne, so grabbed the premiership scarf which hangs by my bed instead.  Might have mozzed us for that quarter!

    • 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?
