Probably an honourable, but showed signs tonight. I hate blaming umps but [censored] me. They give Geelong an eternity to get rid of the ball "play on" any 50)50 free kick Geelong

    So the difference basically is the two late goals we gave up in the first quarter. Give it your all Dees.

    Chandler has been huge

    Unlikely we'll win from here, we just waste too many entries into our fwd 50.

    I counted at least 3 certain goals missed due to our poor disposal.

    They’re putting their hearts into it. lack polish but can’t argue with the effort. still in it at 3/4 time is better than i was thinking.

    sharp very lightweight. offering very little

    He looks a bit one dimensional. And he might have speed in a straight line but isn’t evasive. Reminds me of Sam Blease, except not as quick maybe.

    Genuinely questionable umpiring - glad to see us lift now. Not wanting an honourable defeat.

    Didn't sight Henderson or Langford much in the third.


    Very proud of the effort. A few playing light weight but most are giving everything they have. Even if they mess it up they are tying to change he angle and run into spaces. But I don't know how much more bad F50 play I can take. Burning players running past or free, missing targets by 2-5 metres, kicking to the advantage of the defender when we have a one-on-one.

    We can do it from here, but I think our general sloppiness will shoot us in the foot.

    Will we?

    No way, we should've scored 3 more goals in that QTR. Wasting our entries to our fwd 50.

    Great.

    Hopefully that's the last we ever see of Sharp in a Melbourne jumper.

    Jesus Fritsch

    He's playing better than previous weeks but still making the occasional meal.

    And sadly still kicking zero goals.

    How many for the year?

    One.

    I.mean it's the fwd line from hell.

    No firepower at all.

    Six goals.

    Move Tmac or May Goody.

    You can be as stubborn as you want but good luck being stubborn when your coaching from your couch at home mate.

    Won't be long now if we lose this.

    Do something.

    Your only staring down the barrel of unemployment.

    Stupid kick by gawn & even dumb by fritsch then.

    I know he isnt a mid fielder etc but is there any chance Max could kick a low raking kick up the line instead of attempting to seed the clouds almost every time

    Spargy pants on for Sharp. That'll get Dazz up and about!

    Edited by Demon Dynasty


    Why didn't Fritsch steady then.....seems to panic and just wants to get rid of the ball.

     

    Dees could pull off a narrow win here with a bit of luck ... have showed some positive intent and signs in the 3rd quarter ...

    • 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?
