Incorrect disposal. That’s two goals from poor umpiring decisions.

    So we start this quarter with the ball in their forward line for most of it and they goal. This is stuffed

     

    harsh free against saints there

    Goal kicking coach has to be the highest priority at this club.

    And a psychologist.

    Why do we do this to ourselves?

    I can handle losing. And especially to a better team. But the saints are not a better team!! They have just come here to play and knew we might come in full of hot air, playing lazy, complacent footy.

    And that’s exactly what happened.

    We still have no ability to shut teams down who get a run on.

    There's no change up and/or ability to go man on man in key areas of the ground pressure / worry the opponent off their game.

    We continue to just zone as normal and hope they'll make mistakes with their footwork and disposal in general play bringing pretty sub-standard pressure

    I fear this game and quite possibly our season is slipping away right now on front of us.

    Oliver sadly regressed today.

    Lever hasn't touched it.

    Our midfield not doing much.

    Pickett really needs to pull his head in.

    back to just bombing it down the line.

    Yep and we know how that story ends.

    Amazing how we refuse to play the corridor

    Saints are absolutely bringing the physicality.

    Niggling and looking for body contact at every opportunity.

    Gerard Healey hates us

    Not based off today’s commentary.

    We are awful. Effort should never be in question. But it is with us this season.

    Picket is having a poor game so far (hope he doesn’t get suspended for something stupid)

    We look very undisciplined and lazy.

    • 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?
