Oh no Chandler going to get 2 goals, he's not going to lose his spot until the end of the season now

    Don't worry. We've got Freo just where we want them. 

    Goody has a fiendish plan.....make them accountable.

    That mark and kick from Melksham was the only thing to cheer about today.

    Lovely mark and kick from Melky. I still don’t understand the 50 metre rule. It’s now all about protecting imaginary space, instead of punching a guy in the head, or wasting time. It’s so dumb.

    Fancy not knowing anything about football blaming a small forward for this performance when we are -19 for clearances 😂

    Like him but Kade Chandler has probably been gifted too many games.

    And he then kicks 2

    How about Windsor on ball to start the last?

    Would love to see his run in the middle

    Ahhh because we are 6 goals down and need a change. Rivers was slow and lazy in the middle today. He wasn’t dominating.

    Rivers has improved the backline. Salem has been more involved in the middle.

    If we had 2 Rivers we’d just play both of them.

    Everyone was failing in the middle in the first half.  Clearances 21 - 2

    The no ruck decision is hardly on Rivers.

    Aren't you blaming umpires? or the defenders when the midfield give up -19 clearances?

    You can’t touch a Freo player without giving a free. What a joke.

    They were smashed around the ground as much as stoppages 

    Disgusting Umpiring decision by Simon Meredith.

    Neal-Bullen was pushed into the umpire by Fyfe.

    Our performance aside, Freo have played some excellent footy. Working extremely hard to beat us on the counter.

    Well that scores not great.

    What happened to koltyn? The afl site said he could be out of the game

    Just a strategic sub.

    Please show me where I blamed the umpires? 
    I was saying they’ve been poor but it’s not why we are losing. Learn to read. 
     

    Senior defenders not defending behind the ball is also a big problem. 

    But when we have had so few inside 50s, you can’t be blaming forwards for this loss. Chandler been better than Kosi FYI.

    You cant just throw a rookie on the ball.  He needs to train for it and learn a little about how to play the role first

     

    Nibbler couldn’t hit the side of a barn if his life depended on it. Pathetic by foot.

    • 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?
