Great kick from knuckles and great effort to square the contest by Petty, freeing up Chin for the overlap

 

JVR Viney Oliver our best so far.

    We're letting them play their chip chip game


    Lachie Neal powers out of the clearance and hits Hipwood on the chest, whereas Viney looks surprised he got the ball and just hoofs it around his body for a turnover. Absolutely zero composure for a team that has done it all. Something has gone horribly wrong in the minds of some of our best players since 2021.

    strange game, brissy playing emotional and aggressive and making poor errors. they should be well in front (especially considering the current free kick count) but theyve really messed up. if they controlled themselves better we wouldve probably rolled over and they would win easy, but now there's some fight

    This is the most blatant cheating I’ve ever seen

    Play the percentages there

    As bad as the umpires are, we're still our own worst enemy.

    Lions are [censored] dirty. Punching our players if they take a mark on them. Should be done for striking.

    I might be crazy but we look the better team. They're getting free kicks and we're also turning the ball over too much. If we tightwn things up more we should get more isolation forward. But they're at 60% F50 conversion. They don't lose at the Gabba when it's >50%.

    Super strange, if theyd played normally we would have rolled over, they just had to put some fight into us here.

    I’d still like someone in the club - high up - to call the umpires cheats. Cheats or incompetent. Because there’s no other explanation

     

    and for goodwin to call out the lions’ dirty ways in the presser - “they’re dirty c words “

    Not sure why it's not a 50 for Lever when the Brisbane player punched the ball out of his hands eons after taking the mark. "Oh I thought it was touched ump."

    • 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?
