Time to give Jefferson and Fullarton a run and see what they have to offer.

    Oliver was putrid in the last quarter, let Green push him around like he was a first year player. Tmac looked like the tmac of old.., Have we won a close game since 21?? We buckle like a cheap seat from Anaconda 

    Beat the Lions last year off the top of my head

    Why can’t we seal these close games 🤷‍♀️

    Just watch those last 3 minutes.

    We didn't even man up properly when they took position.

    We're so one dimensional

    Genuinely lost that game due to the umpiring. 

    3rd game where a sh-t free, this time to toby ducking, costs us a loss by under a goal. Sick to death of it.

    Head in the sand. Their handball game in the middle of the game and our horrible centre clearance work were the difference.

    If anyone has a cogent argument this is not sports entertainment I would like to hear it.

    Tough loss.

    Thought our effort was very good most of the night. stuck at it when the game looked gone

    They just had that bit more class than us when it counted.

    The boys can hold their heads up. We were just beaten by a better team on the night

    Go dees.

    Platitudes, we are Sheeit so many ordinary players

    Billings and Laurie not up to AFL standard.

    Now that I believe in ... Turner should have been on earlier as his bulk and marking were missing up forward. Rotten season for all of us.

    After being so good for 3 quarters, perhaps he didn't have the fitness base to go a 4th.

    [censored] we miss Trac, that's all I have to say. Cue in the rack, stub the durrie out and throw the stubble against the wall. Time to look forward to 25.

    Who would have thought that Tom Green would have won that last centre clearance. We were shizen all night in the middle.

    It was obvious how we cleared out the space … then Tom Green knew it and CLARRY WAS ASLEEP. Clarry not the contested player that he was. Green beat him to the footy on many occasions.

    You'd think they would have put Koz in the guts with a minute to go.

    Instead they waltzed it out

    Effort was there. Just not good enough. Bloody frustrating though.

    - Lose to Carlton by a point 

    - Lose to Brisbane by 5 points

    - Lose to GWS by 2 points

    Mids got absolutely smashed all night.

    You'd think by the last quarter we would have at least try to really go defensive on their mids to stop their stoppage dominance, but no we didn't.

    Oliver giving Green space in that last centre contests sums it all up.

    We cost ourselves. They dominated us for long periods of time. Used it better and were just a class above. We tried hard but they’re simply better.

    We don't run with the ball and link up, don't hit targets and we are so slow to move it in transition.

    We only looked dangerous when we were taking the game on in the last 6 minutes.

    Such a cop out excuse.

    Footy is a 4 quarter game.

    No. He switched off. He is a shell of his former self, he was unaccountable

    Heartbreaking. 

    But the loss sums up 2024 perfectly.

    We showed glimpses, but not consistent enough. Our lapses are too frequent and too costly. Better teams are overtaking us now and we’re too slow to respond and too little too late. 

    Can we get a Hogan type player? 🤣

    Good to see Petty continue to improve.

    Still a sniff for finals but will be tough for the reasons above. Still hoping.

    • 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?
