Does George still believe tagging is ineffective? If so I have a bridge for sale at a great price, please get in touch.

I'm torn.

Langdon did a fantastic job, but.....

Langdon had 4 possies, he was averaging 21 before Mon. And when he gets the ball, he provides run and carry and is Ave .6 goal assists per game. Not to mention .5 goals a game himself (he does that we win, but maybe Naicos kicks another as well)

It was a great job, but i feel he sacrificed too much of his role to do it.

    Thoughts on potentially re-signing Kozzy on a $12 million 9 year contract?

    @Demonland Yes we LOST it. We are grabbing defeat and losing it ourselves. Four games now. Giants, Hawks, Saints, Pies. We were better. We should have won it. Question. What are the coaches doing ? 3 years and we are still the same at poor scoreboard impact. Really frustrating… ahhhhhhhh!

    But deep breath … THE POSITIVES

    Steven May. The commander. Forget about the Gawn “discussion”. May is back. He intercepted and controlled the last line.

    Disco Turner. He’s arrived as a permanent player now and he should settle down back to cement his role. Great attitude.

    Ed Langdon. Played his role. His endurance and run rattled Daicos (who sooked it up and asked for free kicks).

    Max Gawn. Forget the mongrel clanger at the end. He beat Cameron in my view and he’s an All Australian pick alongside Xerri as the premium rucks.

    Now the stinkers

    UMPIRES. wow we have a billion dollar industry and part time umpires. Ridiculous. @binman let the AFL have it with two smoking barrels. A rant is warranted. The umps were so bad, so biased towards the pies. The 50/50 calls went their way.

    OUR FORWARD CONNECTION. Again we dump the footy inside 50. Composure? Pendles and Sidebottom showed their class and the gap to our mids. I love Trac and Clarry but they both are the continuous major offenders. If only they could lower their eyes or execute better. It hurts us.

    Fritsch. Omg. @george_on_the_outer he is so frustrating. Marks 20 metre out and plays on and misses!!! Faaaark I shouted out in frustration. Just knew it would be costly and it was.

    I wonder if this episode will have the least amount of listenership due to people just wanting to blank it out of their mind and forget that this game/the filth exists. 2 days and it's still a sore spot blink

    Solid rant on the umpires @binman but I would have gone further and called them cheats. The coaching they receive is the cause, especially when they are it would seem clearly told to look after Nick Daicos in the second half.

    I actually wasn't going to do a rant at all - planned to be all measured and solution focus.

    Clearly i haven't processed my emotions about umpiring yet.

    Many thanks for another great Podcast folks. I could ‘feel the emotions in the room’: the disappointment at the loss; the pride in our jumper, and our ‘fight to the death’ attitude; and the frustration and anger towards the one-sided officiating and the AFL for costing us the win.

    Excellent work again this week 👏👏👏

    @binman I think the discussion on the stats this week was really good. You talked about the game and what your observed, then backed it up with stats and the impact. And it showed that Goody got the game on our terms.

    Yes the umpiring ☠️discussion again triggered deep emotional scares but was therapeutic to know we have the passion to get angry about the umps incompetence and bias. Hard not to have a rant. I’ve had several about the poor umpiring in the last few days

    Loved the kozzzzy 💙❤️⭐️ contract talk. He is box office. He’s worth every $$. We all love him and know he can be even better. And like Robbie Flower, we wish we had two kozzzzy’s, one in midfield and one in the forward-50.

    Go Dees

    @binman agree 100% on Spargo we need his delivery inside 50. Also needs to get more of it but still valuable and often overlooked by his teammates when free which is very frustrating as often he is in good position.

    • 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?
