    Isn’t it funny how most weeks our opposition are complete sharp shooters and never miss, we are bloody cursed when it comes to goal kicking

    You gotta give up something to get something.

    We have enough tall defenders to cover Disco.

    I'd send him forward and see what he can bring.

    We aint winning this without kicking straight from here

    Dominating inside 50s and can't kick a goal, Turner will be moved forward with 5 minutes left with the game out of reach

    Cursed - no. Just can’t be bothered working on it.

    Too many dumb decisions, too many missed goals, too often. Agonising to watch our defence do so much right, only to have our forward play be so poor. Sparrow's kick just then - case in point.

    Sparrow shocking disposal.

    we can be so very annoying

    1.4 for a dominant qtr.

    and we’ve gone backwards on the scoreboard.

    Do we want to win??

    Same old story.

    I’m so over watching this team kick themselves out of games. It’s boring.

    Boring is one word. [censored] infuriating is another.

    Is Chocco in charge of skills?

    He has been bleeding us dry for years filling up his superannuation fund.

    And the May-Lever dynamic duo is long gone, both way past their best.

    We are where we are on the ladder because we aren’t that good. Simple. Mid range AFL team.

    Because we are kicking from congested forward line and pushed out to the pockets while they are taking shots from the goal square.

    So much of our game today is just not AFL standard - skills and effort

     

    When are the coaches going to admit we have a serious problem with accuracy?

    We are going to kiss any chance of finals goodbye because we can’t kick straight against a bog ordinary Saints side

    • 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?
