Freo's running ability, pressure and skill levels are eons ahead of ours in this match

Where's the pride?

A good team comes out and wins the last quarter. 
We look like we’ve come out with all the enthusiasm of a contestant in a children’s pageant.

The Jackson goal in that quarter, I can’t remember that style of goal happening in the Goodwin era. Witches hats. Used to see it every quarter in the dark days. This is as bad as it gets. I’m sure olisik’s and poita’s fingers are warm. 

This has so much "Neeld feel" about it.

Remember when you're highlight of a game was a good chase down tackle?

When you just had to be happy to watch a young bloke like Windsor bust his guts?

I've really got the Needs nostalgia going here 

It's like a Trainwreck and I just can't seem to turn the tv off.

It annoys me that our injury list isnt too bad compared to other clubs yet we still cant manage to field a team that wants to compete.

This is hilarious reading the mania.. it’s genuinely cheered me up — knowing how silly supporters get (me inc many times I’m sure in the past) from one game! If you can’t see there’s something desp right about one side and wrong with the other then you’re either blind or delirious.. 

 

Lets see how many of these same names bob-back-up in a few wks saying “it was the turning point” or it was “an outlier” result.. 

Sure, I may be 💯 wrong but this team right here has proven over and over they’re made of the right stuff and jumping-off to me seems to be the antithesis of an erudite Demon fan.

Its awful, my 10yr old footy nut daughter — who is someone that lives and breathes footy (playing/supporting) is an absolute mess right now as she’s never seen this, has no reference for it at ALL.. So I’ll be dammed if I’m gonna encourage her to be a fire-weather supporter! Not saying anyone here is, but I’m saying we have a choice to go we react & im choosing to trust this group as that’s what their history has proven!

Mate, with all due respect.

What has this team shown you since the start of the season to have any hopes that they can even win a final?

Wasn't it enough to see us smashed by Sydney, Brisbane, Carlton and West Coast? Now Fremantle...

Please let me know what you are taking, cause right now I need an overdose of that.

Too muxh to ask Judd McVee to just provide a body on Walters?

Has absolutely cleaned him up today.

Completely beaten.

So many kicks and handballs falling short of the target it is comical. Turnovers or lost contests everywhere and then holes all over the place for the opposition to come through.

I've not seen us that flustered and all-round ineffective in four years.

Clearly at the moment we are wildly up and down each week and the up isn't as up as the down is down.

For all that the result has been just about decided already, this second half is an important one for the mentality of the club.

3 of our worst games since Goodwin started have been this season, today, lions and wc, mix in a number of slow starts that point to issues. I’ve said all year we aren’t a contender we need to at least make something of the remaining season and learn who on the list will take us fwd, no point putting more games into petty, mcadam billings, hunter. Oliver also needs to be spelled and get his body right and if not traded out for what we can get

Gotta say... love the posivity..especially on a day we're  positively rubbish.

But... some of what you suggest has foundation...  unfortunately I think there's  'trouble at mill'

The only bouncing back from this game will be of the dead cat variety.

Much needs doing.  But that only creates more questions in my thinking.

No, no, you’re wrong there. I was at that game. Much more commitment shown that day.

Still, it presents an opportunity for those at Casey who are pressing for senior selection.

Oh, wait …

How about Confidence, Running-legs, Jolt-up-the-wazoo, JVR, Lever (after the bye), Laurie, Billings, Kolt, Hore (post-bye), Billings, Seston, Jeffo & AMW?!?!?!

Nick-off - your pain doesn’t get abated by being sarcastically-dissident when it’s hailing! You’re better than that I’m sure of it mate. If it happens again next week, and after bye, sure I’ll worry the years a write-off — But then I’ll trust JT and Goody whom won is a FLAG for the first time since 1964!!!!!!

Other then reading this complete and utter dribble what example of this club has proven to you they can be trusted other then bring knocked out in straight sets 2 years in a row.

Get rid of the rosy red and blue glasses FCS, reality has hit us smack bang between the eyes today.

Yep like a bad dream gone worse


Fritta.  You passed it to them. They have the wrong colours 

If you actually understand footy and know what to look for this isn't surprising. 

List has been monumentally mismanaged since the flag and standards have been poor for a while now. 

Club is arrogant, stubborn and to boot, dumb. We play players through injury, we don't reward form, we do reward mediocrity and the list management team have made a number of very soft calls. 

All these little things add up. 

21 is all we're seeing folks. I hate it and it makes me sad.

Yep, time to be ruthless.

This current era is now on its 8th season. Thanks for the memories, let's plan for the next 5 years.


Our ability to lift is beyond question...

 

We just lifted the Fockers into the 8

Bravo 👏 👏 👏 

 

To be perfectly honest, I’m maddest about not getting Sharp— A player we had interest in prev & that fits our needs so well! Can’t blv we didn’t try to snag him but who knows maybe there were red-flags re health long term or something.. I can’t help but remiss what Jackson/Gawn would’ve become as well! But then I’m reminded Jackson as a fwd is <Turner!!!

Been a long time since we felt like this hey 

I haven’t been embarrassed by a performance from this club for a long long time. I forgot how awful it feels. 

 

What a shame. Playing hard in the last quarter to avoid a 100 point loss

FFS you are talking absolute Rubbish 

You are putting this down to Loading 

That’s one of our problems, Arrogance. 
 

We have let A Grade Players walk and they have been replaced by below average discards…

  • 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?

    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?
