Kozzie is one of our highest paid players but you'd never know watching this .

Applied some pressure early but just hasn't impacted the game at all.

But all or fwds have just not turned up.

I thought this was our best fwd line but I'd be happy to drop Fritta on this. Maybe that's harsh on him. He's not alone.

    What about the Viney one? Ball knocked out and not a proper tackle? Same same

    How far can we drop down the ladder if we lose the remaining games?

    We will be 12th at the end of this round.

    He has done a hellovalot better than the next in line.  Who would you play ruck??

    I am more concerned about Max 2025.

    It was a pipedream to think about finals this year.

    This umpiring is absolutely horrific

    Came out flat and getting predictably belted by a good side. This happens far too often. You have to question why the players can’t fire up when needed. 


    We go large periods of games without being able to score, even when Trac was playing. 
    Need to change the gameplan.

    3.4 to 12.4 after quarter time. Scoreline flatters us.

    We’re not very good are we?


    This will be fun, waiting for Goodwins insightful presser 🙃

    Bowey is a shadow of his former first year self.

    He hasn't been AFL standard for over a year. I'm not sure why he's getting games at this point when we've got so many rebounding defender options on the list. Defensively he's a liability. He doesn't provide dash and his supposed elite kicking has been nowhere to been seen for years, just like Salem. He should be tried at half forward or given a spell in the VFL to find form and confidence.

    Is there a point naming a sub if you don't bother using them until it's way too late?

    Kozzy great pressure.  Then terrible decision with ball in hand 🤷‍♂️

    Needs to clean things things up

    • 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?
