That Kossi bloke is not too bad.


Langdon had five second half possessions with 1 tackle. Went missing big time.

I think that's the problem.

Our lack of quality smalls and theirs being so good really stood out today.

Tom McDonald - Best on Ground

A bit tough I think, I thought he was very competitive and strong in the contest. Pretty good for mature recruit, never played at the level

Henderson also looked comfortable with the pace of the game

Lindsay looks swift and classy! Thought I was watching a Febey ♥️💙

Also gave 2 goals away in the first half through lazy kicks...going backwards no less

I heard the ABC call for the first half and watched mist of the second half.

i think I agree Chandler, Howes and Fritta

should be embarrassed to take the coin for this week and be nervous about next week’s. 
and I think the AFL and their round zero can shove that idea where the sun does not shine.

we did well but not well enough

Fritsch out Turner in, and put May at FF

Chandler out Spargo in

I was at the G and kept a close eye on Fritsch for most of the game.

Whilst he was far from his best and didn't trouble the scorers, I was encouraged by him getting a lot more involved in the sleeves up, second & third effort type stuff, rather than his more typical floating around the fringes waiting for someone to get it to him. 

If he isn't getting points on the board I at least want him putting heat on the opposition defenders so someone else potentially can.

To my eye, he did that job pretty well.

How much credit does Fritsch have in the bank after his Grand Final success?

At what stage can we say that his performances just aren’t worthy of automatic selection?

Carefull....

At times he looked sore and at one stage he couldnt run but in aswer to the question probably by round 4.  Still, who comes in?

I agree

He showed no interest at all getting himself into the game

Fortunately for him, we don't have a replacement

Bowey - impressive all game

Yes Chook, I felt that Bowey was impressive across the game, not necessarily all game - but it was great to see him more active and inventive with his kicking skills, accuracy and tenacity in winning the ball on occasion. He can only put these experiences in the bank, work on these, become (once again) a really good clearing backman. I'd hope that the return of Judd will add to his capacities etc.

  • 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?
