    -12 in contested possessions is pathetic. There is no other way to frame it. 

    Unbelievable what this team is becoming, sure 1st qtr but as usual they are looking off & freo gave never played, our mids honestly and our fwds , dumb decision in the backline

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

    Some things just are in football with no need for learning a system.

    A 5kg dumbbell is a 5kg dumbbell, a short handball is a short handball, a 35 metre set shot...

    what a terrible quarter of football, we gave them most of those goals with absolutely braindead football, turnovers and total lack of skill. is this another game where we came in thinking we got this, we dont need to do anything. kick the first couple of goals and go into this is easy mode and just blow it all over the ground. something needs to be done about the attitude melbourne players show out there, no respect for their opponents, not manning up, not chasing, not tackling, no idea.

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

    We've never had an NT following...

    It's a money trip

    In our defence handball and run in to the wind is smart but you got to know when to get numbers up and play percentages

    Just wondering how Freo can have such a following when they are not a big club or popular at all.

    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.

    Our midfield has been okay though today. We're losing through turnover. It's very concerning that a team like Freo scores 5.2 in the first quarter. We are badly out of sync.

    Can we revisit selling this game?

    I get the revenue but don't we want to win games first?

    Our record here is not good enough for the cash.

    They’re bigger than us

    Fritsch couldn’t stick a tackle on an Auskick kid today. Players are just walking past him.

    21 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

    appalling skills

    Yes, perhaps that’s a by-product of valuing Effort (contested possession) over every other facet.

    Watch this now become a slog and arm wrestle where we just let the game drift away.

    Why not be proactive for a change, and simply attack……………you know, like we used to do when we were good?

    Weve become such a predictable and boring side. Contest defence, contest defence. Where is kicking goals in our list of priorities.

    Can’t see how selling this game compensates from potentially missing a top 4 position.

    Freo want this win. We are playing like we don’t care.

    • 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?

    • 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?
