Midfield and defense should be ashamed of this performance. Senior players an absolute disgrace with lack of accountability and defensive effort.Β 
No excuses and I love May but Jesus stop carrying on like a pork chop, you’ve been embarrassed today.Β 

Yep, I gotcha.

We seem to be quite amazing at coming up with a strategy and sticking with it ALL game even when it's clearly not working.

10 mins left and there's still loose Freo players everywhere in their f50

It's that same old question mark about our lack of flexibility and adapting mid game if something is not working.

Hasn’t been mentioned on the TV. Will let you know when I hear.

This was never a team that was going to challenge for the flag. I had us making the 8 even with Gawn and Trac. Gonna be tough from here on out.

After really fighting hard last week, did not expect us to be as soft as we have been today.Β

Billings with 15 and a goal in a Q has been better than mostΒ 


I'm not sure what it says about our steam when Billings has already had more possessions in a half than about 3/4 of our side.

Also I think we can dispel this is our 2nd home [censored]. Yes I know the significance of the ground but we are hopeless here.Β

For what exactly?

It was going to be hope for the rest of the season Murdoc. I'd like to change it to 'hope I've still got a little Scotch left from last week'

Not that it makes any difference to the result but why does Sparrow continue to 'walk on water'? Seriously, when was the last decent game he has played? 2021 GF? So did everyone. Please don't give me 'he's playing a role'. [censored]. OK, midfield cupboard is fairly bare but make an example this bloke. Promote Brown and let Tom kick off the dew at Casey.Β

And too slow off the mark.Β  Too often second to the ball.Β  He is simply NOT a mid fielder in any sense of the role and brings nothing to the table other than handing the oppo another opportunity at first use.

Another terrible coaching decision from Simon today.


Our shape around stoppage has been diabolical today along with everything else.

Div 7 type positional awareness.

Because something something he plays good defensive rubbish

Lever embarrassing - Β leaked goals all day. Β Honestly can’t believe how lose he’s been and when he has won the ball he’s turned it over consistentlyΒ 

Β 

Yes Turner, handball it back to Fritta so he can get gang tackled.Β 

If a bloke of Turners size can’t mark he shouldn’t be in the team. That dropped mark was amateur hour

  • 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 psychologistΒ  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 overwhelmedΒ 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).Β

  • 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?
