Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    Oliver not fit enough we can’t keep playing him, until he gets back to a reasonable fitness level back to vfl.

    Jeffo not ready for AFL

    Fritsch needs to go back to vfl for real this time.

    Langford looks like he will be an absolute gun

    The game should have been over at 3/4 time. We dominated the middle part of the game and missed 8 easy shots at goal

    Another last quarter masterclass by us AFTER another masterclass performance in goal kicking.

    FFS ANOTHER SEASON WASTED.

    But don’t worry it gets easier next week with the lions at the Gabba 🤮🤮🤮🤮

    Poor goalkicking.

    Wasted opportunities.

    Last quarter fade out

    (Copy and paste from any game, really)

    Umpiring was corrupt but it’s not why we lost. We were in it at 3Q but didn’t turn up. Again. Apparent we are not a real team and won’t beat any real teams this year. Blood the kids, get ready for 2026

    I reckon Goodwin outcoached Mitchell today but if your players can’t kick straight from 30m it doesn’t matter what tactics you use

    Season over for all practical purposes.

    Only thing keeping my interest is denying Essendon a high draft pick.

    Continual injuries haven't helped but there's little joy to be had this year

    Please Dees, just give me 4 quarters of pressure like the first three, and accurate goal kicking when we have the game on our terms …….. and an even hand from the umpires would also be nice, thank you very much!

    I'll say the worst umpiring I've seen in a long time., muppets.

    But it was all the regulation set shots we missed in the 2nd and 3rd that cost us the game.

    Otherwise that was the best team effort we have played all year as a team. There is still the issue of 4th qtr fadeouts to work on.

    In my distant youth an accidental trip was a free and a deliberate trip is a suspension. What is it now?

    Our inability to develop a key forward post Neitz needs to be studied.

    • 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?
