You are far too kind to nearly everyone, Joeboy.

 

Lindsay, I’m not convinced

Laurie, just as predicted

Lever, what about McDonald

Kozzie, in another headspace

Johnson, Victoria Football League

Oliver, not top 100


MFC: heartbreaking to follow

Langford: Needs a rest

Windsor: Not a backman

Pressure: 8th worst ever

Forward line: Tall mark needed (ability to kick straight an advantage)

Coaching: Lyon wins again

Goal kicking: Words fail me

Backline: : Missing Tom McDonald

Laurie: Too the answer (

Really, not convinced about Lindsay??

He is the least of our problems. Will be a very good player.

May - very good defence 👍🏻

Gawn - battled hard and was one of our best great contest v Marshall 👍🏻

Turner - yes played well as a 3rd tall defender 👍🏻

McVee - good rebound and run 20 disposals 👍🏻

Bowey - well held in 1st half Good in 2nd half to be ok 👍🏻

Petracca - played in bursts but nothing like last week was okay 👍🏻

Chandler. - contests and runs hard all day 👍🏻

Ummmm the rest …

Fritsch - seemingly played half forward connector and stayed wide and kicked wide too ineffective overall

Salem - likes the boring 15 metre pass defensively caught out too often and looked slow

Oliver - Zac jones tagged him and did a good job Clarry battled on

Lindsay - uncharacteristically is missing goals He nailed them in under 18s Had ok game and excuse as he’s just 1st year

Johnson - big bustling bumbling performance love his heart but limited again

Pickett - simply poor today Windhager tag was too good and frustrated kozzzy

(Why didn’t Goodwin put him forward to one in one in square??)

Melksham - seemed injured and bravely went on yet nothing today

Rivers - he tried and tried and tried but it didn’t happen today

Langford - yes agree he might need a spell as he battles but is looking very tired

Petty - good contest and tackle to goal was good but …

The rest need to go to house of mirrors

Windsor - poor under pressure, turnovers and missed tackles (please please please put him back to the wing, end his defense role now)

Langdon - wow that was a shocker. Had to ask if he was playing. Ed will bounce back

Sharp - so inconsistent- works hard then lets himself down - disappointing!!

Sparrow - where is he at? Defensive forward?? Slow and lacks skill had 3 goal chances for zero goals not good enough

Lever -very disappointing , yes he was a liability in defense & imv physically is not right

Laurie - some might excuse as only had a quarter but looked slow again and I’m still saying he’s not up to it. Maybe give him a few games so we can finally see that he’s not going to make it. Fair enough. He is a good VFL player.

Agree he’s not a problem, just not convinced he’s as good as commentators talk. Think Windsor better but destroying him at half back.


[censored] that up

Windsor - not a defender.

If they keep persisting with this, they are going to Melbourne him

He has won me over. I didn't like him to start with as he looked like someone I don't like, so he has done well to turn me around.

Windsor will be a very good player as well and while he isn't tearing up half back like I thought he would, he will develop into a well rounded player.

So why wasn't interference run for him. Windhager did a great job on Kozzie, but there needed to be a "screen" for Kozzie. The other thing is again, we give up so much possession from a point kick in. So often, St.Kilda went coast to coast, without a Melbourne player touching the footy. We looked flat today. No spark.


LYON


GOODWIN

First time Saints have beaten us since 2019 and we had to kick 21 points for them to beat us. Kicking is deplorable.!!!

He's an absolute ripper 'Norm', will kick one then the monkey will be off his back.

I think Lindsay is the better player, I'm more concerned with Langford on a wing & in general. fumbles too much below his knees and gets caught out in 2 way running, would rather Windsor or Langdon back on one wing.

Lindsay is good on the other...

Laurie Not the problem

and

Laurie Not the answer

#19 looking very tired

  • 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?
