Yeah ridiculous. Let's drop him.

He is only leading our disposals (with 12 at 92% disposal efficiency), our tackles (with 2) and our clearances (4), while being accountable for Lachie Neale.

Most of them since I posted. But when he kicks it, we’re no chance to mark it. He needs to kick it flatter.

 

Everyone having a go at Oliver, but Trac isn’t exactly running on air after his opponent

    Tracc caught flat footed in the middle there. Needs to impact that loose ground ball contest somehow and disrupt that chain

    Is it just me, or does that Brisbane jumper make it look like they’re showing crack?

    Brisbane too good, even when we do play well.

    when they win the ball on half-back - as they do cos we can't hit targets - they slingshot i50 in a nanosecond

    it'll be a 10+ goal margin if the avalanche of easy corridor ball movement continues

    Their kicking and their luck is exceptional.

    our bottom 6 give us nothing

    sharp lightweight, been a big fan of spargs but we;re getting nothing from him. AJ all heart but very limited,


    Our second efforts are abysmal, tackling is half hearted, one handed efforts. So many tackles get broken or just shrugged off. P!ss poor.

    So frustrating to watch this, we are working so much harder than lions but get nothing for it most of the time because of poor skills. You just see why we will be out on our feet in the last it’s not because we aren’t fit it’s because we have to work double time to make up for our mistakes

    • 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?
