Trac and Oliver with a preseason, is not the difference here. Don’t be fooled into thinking everything in 25 will be all right.

There’s losing and then there’s losing. This game should be over. Doggies should be up by 50 points. That is not a 1 -1.5 player difference. 

Yes we are banged up but guess what, guarantee you that half their squad is probably carrying something too.

Goodwin has got this team playing so conservative and so slow that there is nothing positive about anything we do.

The season is done, take the shackles off and play with some flare and positivity and implement  changes now. Don’t wait until pre season.

    There is no way that the Langdon tackle on English should be considered excessive force.

    Even if it was that happens when umps refuse to reward our tackling.

    Langdon is half the size of English, Tim is just soft as butter.

    Hard to be critical of small forwards when the ball doesn't get there, and for all the Petty haters, he competed well every time the ball has. Come into his vacinity

    Betchya if we somehow steal this game. He'll get suspended 

    This game is basically just a slightly ****ter version of our last 4 finals. Never look like winning but weirdly don't quite look like losing.

    Not sure why people are having a go at Petty? We’ve had 17 inside 50s 

    He can always come down the ground and have a crack.

    Maybe he hasn't been given licence but his three disposals don't sing his praises.

    We are still in this so we'll see what happens in the first ten of this second half.

    Yes we are banged up and it has been the season from hell for a number of reasons.  Just a reminder that the Dogs are the form team in the league atm and destroyed the Cats and Swans in the last two weeks.  Perspective.

    bad miss fritsch. 

    gotta get the next one.

    That passage just comes up are slowness and half hearted attempts at spoiling.

    Jvr has no awareness of the ball upon landing to dogs goal.

    Bang.

    It’s actually completely the opposite. The finals we dominated everything but the scoreboard.

    • 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?
