I think I can find better things to do today than watch this garbage.

Good luck everyone.

Thank goodness I have to leave for work 

When you've got arguably the best ruckman in the history of the game and multiple generally considered elite midfielders and you sit 11th for clearances, it's either by design or something is seriously wrong. 

 

 

The last thing we needed to happen just happened. Watch Freo turn it into a bog hole now

Goody likes to be best mates with all the players and it's generally a good thing, but far out these players need a good old fashioned spray. they're far too good to be making stupid mistakes so consistently 

I'd drop five of them. But we don't have anyone to really replace them with. The fact McAdam keeps getting games is proof of this.

Surely woewodin offers more than McAdam or hunter or maybe even chandler 

Yep, plus get JEFFO IN

Oliver needs to sit the rest of the season out and work what the f...is wrong with himself

 

 

We have poor skills and no leg speed. When our defensive pressure is off, we are a bottom 4 side

Midfield getting absolutely smashed around the ground as usual.

But no, according to the clueless Binman it's not the midfield issue 😅

Nah, this was a loading week, just overdid the training to make sure we’re good for the September we probably won’t be playing in.

Best opening quarter by Freo all year. Tell me this is not the most Melbourne thing to give up. Just embarrassing. 

This has been a Goodwin trait ever year bar 2021. Teams always seem to have "their best quarter for the season" against us.

Cripps level time

Daicos time

Everyone else gets pinged 

Our core players are no longer consistently impacting games. They float in and out of games and even get beaten by their direct opponents now. The best teams have stars who always dominate. Our stars are fading sadly.

Q1

Poor first qtr. poor turnovers  Slow  slow slow

Turnovers.  It’s lazy play. Rivers. Bowey. Sparrow.  Invited Freo in . Waiting for our mistakes  - mistakes mistakes  more mistakes 

Langdon  not ever chasing  

McAdam could not kick 30 metre !!! 

Sparrow fumbles. Fumbles. 
ANB fumbles. Fumbles. 
Oliver pick it up  

Oliver in middle  free free  turns kicks it 20 metres sideways and not attack  !! Lazy - why not attack !!! 

Pickett. Forget the left foot when you are free.  Grubber to nothing !!  

WHATS NEEDED … SIMPLE SO [censored] SIMPLE 

MOVE THE BALL QUICKLY 

ATTACK NOT SUDEWAYS 

NOT 7 HANDBALLS TO TURNOVER - so 2011!!!

coaching tips from Desanto

play the percentages 

Take territory into forward 50

kick to field position - not wide 

Quick decision making 

👏👏👏👏

He'll find every excuse under the sun.

According to Binman, 99 problems but the midfield ain’t one 🤣

Getting absolutely smashed in the middle. We will lose every game this year to teams who have a decent midfield.

McAdam couldn’t make the distance the last 2 weeks but that was put down to learning the Melbourne system.

This! Bump

He's delusional. 

About as good as his excuse of loading the past few year to no advantage.

Everyone else can see its a midfield issue except him.

Why is the worst handball team in the league insisting on over using handball?

Yes yes yes. Handball into trouble. So 2011!!! Overhandballing again. Goodwin is fuc-Jed as a coach. 

Way too many purple Guernsey around the stands for a Dees home game. 😬

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
