Just saw vision of the Lever throw call, freo player wraps his arm around Lever's neck just before and it's completely missed and Melbourne are penalised. Vision makes it a shocking umpiring miss.

    And don’t mention the clearances. According to Binman they’re a irrelevant stat.

    In what has been a very disappointing half of footy 2 positives stood out to me.

    Windsor is a winner. He only knows how to win.

    And JVR is going to be the best tall forward we’ve had in 15 years.

    How can every other team shark taps and we can’t??

    do we do no research into other teams?

    My thoughts exactly. Teams can go in with no rucks against us and win a clearance. We have no ruck and cannot get near it. 

    But Oliver and Viney badly need a rocket.

    Because it’s hard to learn to shark taps in two weeks when you’ve been used to having the best ruckman of the modern era at your disposal for years. 
     

    The ruck contests aren’t the issue. Our mids doing nothing to defend the ball drop is the issue.

    He's a gun.

    Hopefully won't be rucking all the time.

    I know we are getting obilterated in the ruck but is there any chance our mids can play goalside ffs.

    Goalside at clearances is it much to ask for, on their shoulder.

    Also stick a [censored] tackle.

     

    Yep, just stop the the clearances where Freo walk it out. Go defensive until the Dees can even the contest. 


    Putting that display not on Goody's non ruck selection call, but instead on our midfielders who have totally outworked. 

    Need a huge lift out of Viney, Rivers, Kozzy and ANB

    At half time of the Alice game I thought Freo couldn’t play any better and we couldn’t play any worse. They got better, we got worse.

    Definitely the same vibes about this game aside from Freo’s inaccuracy. Will be interesting to see if we can make some inroads in the second half or just let the game get out of control per round 12.

    We’re definitely playing with one hand tied  behind our back with the ruck and clearance issue.

    Bedford by a fair margin for mine.  He has a weapon which Chin does not.

    Chin only has manic follow up pressure (chasing tail) and second efforts which sometimes works and looks good when it comes off.

    Bedford brings the wheels plus the latter.

    I was being somewhat facetious 🙂

    Bedford by the length of the Flemington straight and then some.

    Should have been obvious to the List managers BEFORE Bedford left.

    This is reminding me of when I played U17’s and the top side would show up with a dozen players over 190 cm and most with beards and sideburns! We amazingly seem to be undersized all over the ground but somehow they also have midfield players everywhere, running riot! 

     

    Too funny. Thanks for that. 
     

    did you ever see that Wonder Years episode when he is soccer team shows up and the opposition are like twice as tall as them? I have memories like that too…

    I put the blame on our leaders 

    Viney and Clarry in the middle have been terrible especially when we are getting towelled up

    May the only leader standing up

    If I’m Goodwin 

    - Disco to shadow Darcy around the ground 

    - ANB hard tag on Young

    - Viney head to head with Sarong

    - McVee to the midfield.

    All should be put on the trade table afaic.

    The speed on this game looks to have gone past Salem in that first half.

    Hopefully he can bring something to the table in the second.

    This was a big test for us , but we are getting games into our youngsters and hopefully better next year with Trac back and a proper pre season for Clarry.

    We still have a chance this year with Max back next week.

    Hurts seeing Jackson dominate against us, as he is what we are missing most.

    • 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?
