Casey 2 goals 8

Probably should be 5:5

 Surely just under instructions (the Melb way!)

    Goal kicking coach or program should be seriously looked at. Missing absolute sitters and so many other set shots. Happens in both VFL and AFL.

    Yze.. strong mark and hits the post from ten metres on an angle

    I'd say 5 meters and a certain gimme goal. Shows some ability but not goal kicking accuracy with two misses in the last few minutes.

    Casey's kicking for goal worse than putrid. 2-9 

    Wasting game dominance, everywhere but on the scoreboard.

    Shocking conversion. Should be way ahead. Is Billings playing?

    3 touches including one average turnover

    Seriously the kicking for goal is amateur standard and that isn't being fair to the ammo's.

    I can see a different style with more ball movement but not sure we have the skilss to play this style. So many turn overs. The best passage was Sestan kickout to a target and then 2 beautiful kicks to position and a goal. The 2nd quarter could get ugly though as the Roos will have the breeze .

    Despite months of training still too many skill errors from the same serial offenders. No names but Billings could not hit the side of a barn from 20 meters.

    Just real real bad

    AJ suspended and 3 talls in the 1sts. We have no forward targets today.

    So frustrating to watch. Billings can surely never play firsts again 

    Was extremely lucky to land on any AFL list chook.  But we are made of sterner stuff apparently and able to absorb the chaff that no one else wants

    Anyone able to tell me what role Langford is playing? 

    Predominantly as a CBA mid

    • 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?
