Tbf, this is only their second match of the year after playing in round 1 and then the bye.

They look seriously good in the contest and on the spread and would be expected to get a lot better as the season goes on.

Absolutely. Their spread today is asking us look pedestrian.

 

This has 10 goal thumping all over it

But they love each other

    Sack Goodwin tomorrow.

    Dropped marks, miskicks, handballs that fail to travel a metre, constant turnovers, etc. etc. nothing to do with Goodwin.

    Quick question..

    Which department has been the worst today,?

    Forward

    Midfield

    Or

    Backline?

    Trick question...... they're all on the nose.

    forwards, our goals have been kicked by the sub and a backman

    Lindsay, if anything probably a PCL unfortunately

    Thanks very much. Bloody shame for the young kid. Been doing well.

    Heartbreaking for him.

    Time to call the season off.

    Never seen them so disinterested under goodwin.

    Think he's lost them.

    How long do we have to keep watching this garbage.
    Till the club has withered and died a slow death.
    Sack Goodwin tomorrow.

    We need to make a statement and stand for something.

    Must admit I try to avoid the AFL official media just as much as I try and avoid the Gameday thread. But any danger someone from the AFL could drop by training one day and take a snap of the vice-captain and add it to the file?

    Thanks Mr C. Snake . At least Milkshake has still got it.

    And I called for Bowser to moved fwd two weeks ago. He is fast, fleet of foot,has great hand to eye coordination and in the limited opportunities had good goal awareness. Given Kozzie s suspension and Nibbler leaving, Chins apparent cameo for the year, he could be handy.

    Everything to do with the coach, good coaches do not tolerate continued mistakes.

    Except for the fact that he is the one in charge of the list and all that..

    I don’t know what to make of this team. They look like they just aren’t invested in the game plan (whatever that may be), they don’t appear to be working for each other (very little talking or awareness of what team mates are doing) and they just appear to lack energy. Honestly, I feel like I’m watching a Neeld era match… it’s so [censored] awful!!

    Fritsch can’t buy a goal, Rivers is having possibly the worst game I’ve seen him play, Viney appears to be disposing of the ball to players that we can’t see, Salem doesn’t appear to want to lay a tackle, Oliver still having the occasional expensive brain fart etc etc. And on top of all of that we lose Lindsay, one of our most productive players in the first two rounds, early in the game.

    I am liking Johnson’s attitude if not his skill set, and I’ve liked Sharp’s run. Back to the game now…

    Reminds me of when players used to walk away ignoring the Neil Balme qtr time huddles.

    FFS need to make a statement and drop Oliver. He has been a liability.

    I'll just pop on the footy now, hopefully will cheer us up

    Well actually he isn't.

    List manager and recruitment are in charge of that. Sure Goodwin has input but he won't make the calls.

    • 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?
