Nothing I’ve seen today says we are any good. No connection, no passion and sadly no skill.

 

That feeling when you win the qtr by 2 points. Especially when you’re just kicking points.

2 goals in a half, in such a dreary, boring gameplay is not going to put/keep bums on seats. What exactly is the plan here?? Going out a win against the Suns at our own home ground? With points?

What are we doing?

Where is this team going??????

    At the vane pathetic! Goodwin has destroyed this team

    Just too close to the players. They like him but no way they respect him. Would love him to prove me wrong.

    Effort and intensity is there. Ball movement, skills, kicking are just Truly horrible… how we’re just 17 down is a miracle. On the cards they open this up at some point and win by 60 plus.

    Still waiting for this theory that we tactically managed our fitness so we could out run the Suns today to come to fruition

    How can you accept a pay cheque for halfa million dollars a year, then proceed to miss simple set shots?

    Absolute mercenaries this lot.

    Frittata’s saving grace was his set shock kicking ….. does he have any now? Very sad.

    Diabolical footy, but that was a more even quarter. Bowey and Langford have been fantastic. Desperate for a spark.

    The fact we are only 3 goals down is a [censored] miracle. If only someone in the rooms knows how to flick the on switch at half time

    When players continually fumble simple passes, kick aimlessly and miss tackles, it's not the coach's fault.

    Whatever tactics are employed, multiple players who can't get the basics right will lose matches.

    And that's where we are right now.

    We are officially a basket case

    I know I said this earlier but I’ll say it again. Bowey had the ball across half back, everyone was just walking, no one ran to provide a lead or create space for another player. This has got NOTHING to do with the fact we are missing a couple of players.

    Unbelievably we are still in this game.

    We need to run as hard during the game as when heading to the interchange.

    Too many "Hail Mary's".

    How was Langford not deemed good enough to get a gig last week!

    "Hoh boy, I've got the ball!

    I'm going to forget our past 36 months of footy and just KICK IT forward without looking where I'm kicking it!"

     

    We are in a serious funk. I don’t think we can play any worse.

    We just need a bit of confidence. The intent is there - it’s between the ears now.

    All the signs of a team that will go through a full rebuild, reminds me of wc in 2022, lot of premiership players still there but fallen off badly

    • 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?
