Windsor is NOT a defender.

Tracca is our match winner today, 2 fantastic shots from 50 today

about 5 free kicks for holding not called there

Umps being very strategic on when to pay them our way. Usually after not paying at least 10.


We are going to get smashed next round. Here I was thinking we could give them a real shake 🤦🏼‍♂️

He’s too comfortable playing for a holding free at every. single. contest.

It’s tiresome and predictable.

Saints mids killing is.

 

Arrogant team defence all game.

What I don’t understand is why our method looks so different this week than the last 5 or 6. Gone is the chipping and switching and we seem back to pre-2025 long bombing and chaos.

And [censored] our goal kicking needs to improve.

The fact that we haven't told Max to give the kick or HB off by now after he takes a mark i50 is just ridiculous.

3.7 to 3.2 this Q.

WTF is wrong with us?!?


How many misses from inside 30m, and how many posters can we do in a single game? Grrrrr

kick it through the big sticks boyssss. Faaaark

4 week holiday for AJ

If Mills got 1 can't see AJ getting more

If they are consistent....


From what I can gather, the entire margin is 12 point turnarounds from us missing shots and then letting it go to the other end.

NNNAARGGGH.

We may, but we do have a tendency to play up or down to our opponent’s level.

Yes but almost worth playing him forward and Petty Back!

  • 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?
