Who’s missing from our best side….Petracca and Windsor a first year player. 
Is Salem best 22 anymore?

We have 14 Premiership players today.

I wonder what the record is for most Premiership team players in a team to lose by 10+ goals.

    We should trade Salem to be honest.

    I'm glad so many of you can switch over to the Olympics, I'm stuck with this.

    He won’t get you more than a third rounder.

    Apart from losing contested possession, we are leaving 1 or 2 Dogs players 2 handballs wide of the contest, and then missing most tackles when they press through. Or they go around us. 

    Lever - you have a player, defend him every so often.

    May & TMac - doing a power of work.

    Bont is a star.

    I'm starting to worry about players including Salem, May, Fritta, Lever, Kozzie, Oliver and even Viney.

    Players who should be at the height of their powers yet here we are.

    Clearly the premiership window isn't closed....looks like it's been bricked over.

    This team is not even a ghost of that Premiership team. They should be ashamed of themselves, or just raise their hands as say 'I am not good enough atm'.

    Not sure what we’d get much and to who?

    Yes I’m open to it.

    How many tackles has Oliver missed? 

    Has anyone laid a tackle? I can’t remember one. 

    Seems Yze was the coaching mastermind behind our success. Came in as midfield coach and won a flag with top four years running. Since Mcqualter took over this year we've been rat****. Our stoppage work and lack of clearances recently have been the worst in memory, worse than the Neeld years somehow.

    So be it. He can't contribute anymore and is injury prone.

    Thanks for your service Salo.

    I’m changing my mind every 5 mins with reload or rebuild.

    Premise being reload what? a super soaker? 

    Yeah same here Gawndy. But when you look at how bad Casey are travelling it’s looking a bit grim. 

    only 4 goals down.

    if we could just stem this flow and breakeven this quarter they might tire in the second half

    i'm probably dreaming but they are coming off a 5 day break

    90% of Clarry's disposals this year have been dump kicks or hospital handballs to teammates under pressure

    Not to mention second efforts result in holding the ball.

    North or West Coast I guess.

    Somehow they found a way to load up with spuds who are at Casey’s for a team  in a premiership window, it’s as  if they wanted to push this team off the clif with the dumbest trades and boot out an  All Australian ruckman in Grundy & watch Gawn play on 1 leg … it’s a comedy show & amateur hour from our coaches & recruiters

    • 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?
