This is a coaching disgrace. You can’t do the exact same thing and expect a different result. 

Ground hog day since 2017

Howes is weak at the contests.

He is, but Freo’s smalls weapon is their run and pace more than contest. If we can’t even pick up their runners we are no chance to ever force contests.

To two Freo players? No-one was in our f50

Where's the run from his team mates. He had to go backwards 

Just kick for goal or the boundary line if there were no forwards. He was stupid kicking laterally and then turning it over. Absolutely nuts!


14-0 clearances. Have we ever seen a worse midfield performance under Goodwin?

Fullarton is a tax scam I swear. 

Reality is this year was [censored] as soon as we traded Grundy and brought in a guy who averages 4 hit outs a game. 

It's a scandal. Monstered at VFL level. Some on these boards think 'Fullo' is the real deal. Laughable if it wasn't embarrassing.

    Langdon sticks out because he covers the ground like the Freo mids. 

    Our spread is almost as bad as our clearance work.

    This loss will come down to Goodwins stubborn REFUSAL to play a Ruckman!

    Go Dees

    The pessimists are out again. Have some belief.

    At least when we are losing there is more reading on this forum. 

    If we get our system going can you all keep posting as I only have the radio. 

    Go Dees.

    There's plenty of footy to play but we sure make it hard for ourselves.

    And the Petty obsession continues 3 months on from the Rnd 5 debacle. 

    Not Petty's fault either.  That part's all on SG


    Shambolic.

    If Goodwin persists with the lunacy of (mis)using Petty in the ruck this will end up as a 100-point demolition.

    Sparrow and Bowey, among others, might as well have stayed in Melbourne for all they have brought to the game so far.

    Goodwin looks lost.

    Well done to Caleb Windsor for showing some initiative by switching the play which resulted in us going end to end in 20 seconds. This is why Fremantle aren’t a top 4 side, and a premiership threat. They play to percentages, and will always beat us as we are too predictable. We need to take more risks and force the game. Even if it means we could lose by 10 goals. 


    Chin's decision making and disposal is atrocious so far

    • 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?
