Billing’s kicking is and always has been shizen

Some sessions with Tiger Woods’s Shrink will help.

    Same number of scoring shots 

    Bit like the last few years 

    yes yes this year’s sample is n=1 - hopefully not a portent of things to come (I might lose my mind)

    I always thought Bowza was a measured composed footballer, but how many times has he thrown it on the boot today with zero regard or spatial awareness??

    Has Jed Adams had a disposal?

    He’s had 4 times what Chandler has produced 😳

    How to fu the game umpires, call a free that doesn’t exist when all of our blokes are streaming forward because the obvious free was ignored!

    Not sure Max Viney’s tackling classes have done much unfortunately - we haven’t been able to stick tackles all day

    Bowey ain't best 22.

    Billings literally can't kick a goal to save his life. 

    Again, we get scored against too easily.

    It’s a practice game & hope Goodwin isn’t showing his hand entirely as we will do stuff all leaking 16 goals

    He’s not the player he was in year 1, a little muddled in the head still after a bad injury last year? Or from Steve May barking at our backline to chip it sideways and bomb it long for 3 years?

    Whatever it is he has to do better than this

    What in the world was Fritta thinking - in range, passes back to Billings - fails to score.

    Q4: Why would Fritter pass it to Billings???!!!

    Billings is possibly the worst finisher in the AFL! If he could actually finish off his work he'd be a decent player, he has no trouble finding the ball.

    22 behinds. It doesn’t really matter what your tactics are or what you do around the ground if you kick that many behinds. Make that 24

    • 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?
