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

    They’ve beaten us consistently at the MCG. The ground is not the issue.

    Love Kozzies effort but he really needs to work on his disposal.

    And some think he is elite with disposal.

    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...

    Mc Adam has done about as much as Fullarton this year. 🙄

    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?

    No. An arm wrestle involves two competitors. 

    We are such a slow team and every other side knows it, if they just come out hard we can’t keep up. We are betting everything on been close enough in the 2nd half to make it a game

    Whatever Goodwin and his coaching team are trying to do this year they need to go back to basics. We are so out of sync and just average. There's no identity to what we're doing.

    We're not even at half time yet and the week's footy shows already have an entire week's worth of content to talk about. This isn't just a player issue. This is a comprehensive structural breakdown.

    Not according to our pres who would sign Goodwin to a 10-year extension if she could.

    Unless and until we find a forward coach with forward experience and forward nous we will not be true contenders.   
     

    Enough is enough. 

     

    we have no offensive system at all and the amount of lazy, long bomb kicks is embarrassing, we would do 10-15 for every 1 that Freo do and it's really showing

    • 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?
