Bowey very good, Rivers worked his way back into it after some howlers, had looked off the pace for the first 2 games, May will be better for the run, great to have Melksham back - if only the ball could get to his part of the ground more often - Langford has cemented his place for the rest of the season, and we have Pickett and Lever back next week.

    I might have dreamt it, but didn't we used to be good? Once upon a time?

    Thanks Simon, the game is up. Please start clearing out your office tonight. This garbage has been slowly building for 2-3 years

    You have no concept of attacking football. You don’t train players to attack

    You train to stop the opposition, and now that has stopped

    We need new Coaches NOW, not next year

    This season reminds me of 2007 when we went into the doldrums for over a decade. I now dread our encounter against WC on May 3rd. Glad I pre booked two overseas trips over the course of the season. I won’t be buying into the WatchAFL app when away.

    Any chance we can win a clearance, hold a tackle or even get on the same page a teammate? Simply gut wenching to watch!

    I know Goodwin will say we believe in our plan and program, that it was unacceptable today, that we know what we need to do etc... But we need more from him today. We, the members and supporters need an explanation from coach and President.

    [censored] me ! We have officially returned to the bad old days.

    It's just round 3 and you can start planning your September holidays.

    Abswruckinlukely.

    Falling headfirst into the abyss and lead by players who should know and play so much bloody better.

    Total disgrace.

    Goodbye Goody.

    I defended you last week but I am totally unaware as to why.

    So many senior players too busy counting their money and not caring about the club.

    If only they were paid when they actually gave a toss.

    Last week someone mentioned and complained some of the players were booed off.

    Well another non effort like today and I for one would be leading the chorus.

    It's official.

    We stink.

    Lindsay (a rare shining light) injured, and humiliated by a mid-tier team on our home deck in our ‘response’ game.

    We’re an unskilled, uninspired rabble playing boring, lifeless footy.

    Anyone have any positives to share ??

    Yes, I held back my Demon membership this year because Badloss was still there - I really have had enough of him as coach, fooling around with the players' careers and not stepping up to meet the challenges ahead. Footy has changed and this change needs appreciation, and be positively addressed.

    I was going to take the eldest to his first ever game at Metricon mid year but don’t think I want to subject him to this. Not a good way to keep the kids interested

    things are dire. Things could go even further downhill very quickly

    We were spoilt with our 10-0 starts - shocking demise

    Bummers rubbing their hands together. Enjoy your top 5 pick.

    Don’t forget we got Lindsay last year in trade for F1 this year. Yes it sounds bad if we do badly this year but this is a highly compromised draft with lots of academy and FS picks early and a much shallower pool for everyone else. It’s not like we gave it up for nothing. Lindsay looks great and let’s back him in.

    Oliver 31 possesions 3rd highest in the game, don't blame him, still trying his guts out at the end! Anyone wanting him out, take a long hard look!

    I remember clear as day the final round of 2021 when we were 40 odd points down. As soon as Geelong started chipping it around I knew we’d win it. Now apparently chipping it around the back half is the game plan of choice… Confusing.

    Why would Trac even want to stay?

    Majority of the team phoning in a performance in front of a ~20k crowd when he could be on the big stage.

    Who could blame him.

    Clearly gone at the end of the year. Hopefully he invests enough to give the club market value.

    Bunch of mature players need to be left alone with their thoughts for the week to decide if they're serious or not and to remember who they are.

    Far, far below the skill and energy they are well known to be capable of.

    I'd be interested to know, in the wild politics of late last season, who got what they wanted which has now created this level of confusion and ambivalence on the field?

    Hard to say, as wasn’t at the game (Queensland based), but Trac’s body language looked off all day, and seemed more so as the day went on?

    Worried for next weekend … if we serve up similar to today, the Cats are a fair chance to break their 186 point winning margin.

    The cats just love playing weak dispirited and fractured sides down there. They will be merciless. 186 is in play.

    Can he be tanking to bring down his trade value as the Pies dont have anything to really offer us?

    • 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.

      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?
