May - better after first

Gawn - no votes today

Chandler. - strong running game

Rivers - often an observer

Petracca - important but limited

Fritsch - seemingly without passion

Salem - just a plodder

Oliver - couldn’t handle tag

Lindsay - needed more involvement

Johnson - replace with Roo

Pickett - unfortunately well held

Melksham - little drive today

Turner - a solid game

McVee - not his best

Langford - looking very tired

Windsor - poor under pressure

Langdon - untypically quiet game

Sharp - Viney obviously replaces

Sparrow - little involvement again

Bowey - little defensive drive

Petty - limited contesting effect

Lever - liability in defense

Laurie - made no difference

I enjoy your 3-Worders JB.

I concur with these 69 words, yet, we kicked seven more scores and had 17 more I50s, which baffles me that we looked so poor yet we did so well in the I50s!

All I can do is turn to a high-power: Buddha .

Buddha once said: "this is not as bad as it seems".

Anti-Saint to Buddha: "no, but our season is over and winter has only jus begun, now tthat is bad Buddha, when we have blown three seasons with poor kickin'"!

Buddha: "Anti-Saint, you win"!

 

Melbourne = FeS2

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...

And Langford is too slow for the wing. Better rotating forward and in the guts.

And yes, please put Windsor back on the wing 🙏

To be fair Budda may have downed a few single malts at the time of that famous quote.

Fair enough. Just think commentators are talking him up a bit. Langford is likely tired.

Spargo - dodged a bullet

Another player that should be considered lucky to play another game! Unless break glass in emergency situation!

  • 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?
