We've hit the post 3-4 times today have to take chances left 5-6 goals out there today.

Need to lift intensity in the 2nd half.

Lose this and kiss the season good bye.

Those who think Salem is worth a spot in the side are kidding themselves. He is a liability when there is pace in the game, too busy trying to take the easy option.

Like a few of our premiership players, he’s very rapidly gone off post 2021. Very regularly shirks contact now as well.

    I am sick and tired of the MFC going to The Alice for a nice Holiday and losing 4 points

    This game should be at the MCG…..

    Disgraceful kicking for goal…as usual…

    You're right. There's players like May (early), Langdon, McVee and even Clarrie who aren't switched on.

    Sharp - good sub but can he start a game. We may never know about Laurie.

    Wondered where maggot 8 had been hiding

    Yes but almost worth playing him forward and Petty Back!

    What planet are you on picket?

    Turner is our key back for the next 10 years. The worst thing we can do for his career is to keep swinging him forward, back, forward, back

    Not sure why people are having a crack at Healy’s commentary. He clearly thinks we are the better side and should win. Like us, I think he’s found our uneven effort after working so hard over the last month confounding. I agree with him.

    Is it my imagination or has Lingers been super quiet?

    75% of the side are passengers today

    17 players with 7 touches or less. Only 3 players have touched it 10x or more

    Ffs pull your collective fingers out


    If Windsors role was to play off HB, he is failing miserably. We don’t use his pace nor does he have the HB running patterns to break lines.

    30 seconds to go and Max chooses to kick across goal. WTAF!!!

    NormSmith would drag him.


    We’re in this, despite our abysmal patches of footy and poor kicking. We’d actually be even/in front if we kicked straight.

    Just need to come out and play good, honest, accountable footy.

    Hopefully the boys get a rocket to set them up for the second half.

    Kozzie (among others of course), needs a lift. He’s been incredibly poor.

    Not capable of blanketing an opponent either. Has Dan [censored] Butler had a kick since 2020? Jeez

    Our work rate had been extremely poor. We reduced the score that quarter because StKIlda are mediocre aside from effort. 2 players in a half of football with more than 10 touches. We have been winning games on work rate and selfless play but they seem to have not taken either onto the plane to Alice.

    Edited by Lil_red_fire_engine

    Gees we’d be in trouble without Turner.

    May got better that Q thank god

    If we can stiffen up at the back and increase the intensity we should win

    but that’s a big if


    Came for the game day thread hysteria. Did not disappoint

    Dee’s by 20+

    Windsor had had 6 kicks. 4 off his left side where he has awkwardly kicked with his right. Gotta be moved

    Windsor’s getting pulled back and out of the play and the Saints have capitalised on it.

     

    A decade playing at this [censored] hole and we still don’t understand the wind.

    F this game off.

    • 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?
