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

Agree but he did kick 3 great goals earlier after dominating in defence. Petty useless as forward but better at defence. BUT whole piont is this why is our bestt defender for last 2 years T.Mac not playing?? Thats down to Goodwin!

 

Kozzy forward to try and shake the tag pls

Healy and Dwayyyne Russell are Dees haters!! Healy especially. Calling Saints frees ,Question Dees frees ,Riv hit in head, … play on ! Healy hates Dees ever since we beat him and the $$$Swans in 1987 finals !!


We lifted our intensity a lot that quarter thank God, but we largely still played like rubbish I thought. Stupid errors like Melksham pulling the kick back to the top of the 50 where the sea of hands couldn't keep the ball locked and Butler ended up scoring. Even towards the end of that quarter when Max got the free just not thinking before taking that short pass and nearly costing us another goal.

We need to bloody relax, take a second to think and then execute. Oliver, Langdon, Rivers all need to lift.

I said i would have taken a quarter where we made inroads into the lead, I still think we can play a lot better. The game should open up a bit in the second half and allow more chances, just take them because every game is an elimination final from here on in.

How many weeks for AJ?

He’s a nobody and already been suspended this season, so 3

No concussion so you’d guess just 1 week but the MRO will spin their wheel of nonsense

137 disposals as a team for a whole half. Surely that's got to be the lowest for a team this year?

2/3

The Saints are getting their goals from quick transition, or a "joe-the-goose" over the back. Small structural changes from the Dees in the 2nd half should clog this up.

Lindsay onto Butler and Windsor onto the wing.

May and Lever getting better as the game continues, Turner is in our best 3 or 4 players, Bowey and Rivers to lift.

AJ 3 weeks.

No concussion so it will be 1-2, probably 2 given how unnecessary it was.

Edited by godees

Sinclair has 17 kicks at 100% efficiency

Can we put someone on him Simon?!?

100%.
He's a nobody so will get 3 for sure.

Forward tackle count is atrocious.

Max doesn't focus on the goals long enough. He looks down with just the odd glance at the sticks and then always misses. Simply needs to lift his head up. Small change.

Was AJ's hit he gave out, any worse than the one Spargo got?

Saints forward line is not tall. Tmac, like May, is slow to react and useless below his knees. IMO we could only play one of them today

At least Keeler was quiet in the 2nd qtr

We should start pickett fwd and isolate windhanger deep.

Thats my first thoughts but we lose his midfield drive even though he’s providing none atm 🤷‍♂️

Just now, Roost it far said:

Yes, but he is hopeless below his knees. We could not play both May and Tmac today

Melbourne are the most frustrating footy team ever. That is all

 

Can’t understand why TMac has been dropped for Lever & Sharp should always be a sub!!!!

Ross is a very astute coach. He’s shut down Langdon and Bowey and we’ve lost all our drive and spread.

  • 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.

    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?
