Giants didn’t turn up in the first Q

now it’s a real arm wrestle

bring it on

are we good enough!

I'd bring Turner on for Bowey in the second half.  He's a mile off this defensively and far too slow to move the ball on.  No penetration in his kicking when he does

    Rivers... 2 disposals this quarter

    GWS showing up

    Thrown away a solid lead.

    Billings, Nibbler and Kozzie are lost out there.

    Oliver our best but can't do it alone 

    How the [censored] wasn’t the first a free to Roo let alone the second when he was tackled with out it. [censored]

    Better if Kozz dishes this.  Too far out


    It's a real shame you can't rely on a 4 quarter performance from Melbourne anymore.

    I wonder if the players are flat because there is no atmosphere. 

    I know they started well but seriously it's  pretty quiet here

    Killing us with numbers around the ball. Working harder than us. Not sure why we’ve dropped off so much.

    Were done for this year. Time to blood the kids.

    Great start

    Giants went hard that Quarter

    50-50 game from here

    We can definitely beat ‘em. Need to keep the pressure up around the ball and run our hearts out.

    That quarter was the one we are used too.

    Roll the dice....who will turn up?

    Kozzie, Anb, Billings show some leadership fgs.

    Well done Oliver.

    We could have had that game wrapped up but we probably just threw away our finals chances.

    Why isn't Milk playing up the ground more?

    What a waste

    This game is just the perfect summary of our club.

    On and off and all over the place.

    Woey isn't fully ready yet.

     

     

    Giants were never going to lie down. They’re a bloody good team fighting for a spot in the 8 just like us.

    • 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?
