Same old story nothing changes.

Win all the stats except the scoreboard, because we have zero decent AFL level forwards.

Petty as the main target is just hope more than any sort of form or runs on the board.

We simply cannot score

Swap Turner for Petty. And that's saying something.

Petty's just not mobile enough for a KF and unable to get much separation, if any, on his man. Useless forward that occasionally gets lucky if the ball's delivered inside super quickly.

Our forward line up, methods coming inside and finesse / finishing skills are easily up their with the worst in the AFL.

Can't even perform against the worst team in the comp.


Gee Jayden Hunt is a good player we should get him

    How so? We are slaughtering them at clearance and stoppage.

    And we are losing.

    Because they are butchering the disposals they do get.

    And if you pay attention you'll notice that they have only had eight touches each.

    At 16 each a game is not something good.

    It’s depressing know that a loss tonight won’t help move to Goodwin on either.

    Weirdly looked like slow motion. Will take the goal.

    [censored] you Pav trying to undermine the umpire on that. Celebrate the goal. You wouldn’t do it in reverse situation

    • 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?
