From this point on we just have to assume umps will cost us 3-4 goals a game.

    May loses a contest against Horne-Francis, runs underneath the ball and Max has to make a dangerous tackle.

    May then lets Burgoyne mark uncontested 15m out. 🤦

    Petty must be a catholic, hasn't touched the pill!

    Ha.

    He was on the bench for a bit and it improved things.

    Let's just let Roo have a decent time fwd without Petty and see what happens.

    People still think Langford needs to be managed?

    10 touches at 90%

    he is pretty much our best mid already

    How was it a brain fade? It was a great tackle

    all he had to do was push him over the line.... but no gives away the obvious free

    Just to make sure we miss the 8 so we can't end the season of one or more of their preferred teams

    If that’s in the back I want to see them pay it the other way. Giorgiadis flopped in an effort to get the ball over the line. Absolute joke

    They paid Dangerous tackle, still a B/S free.

    Honestly the backline and midfield are killing us with their revolting lack of defensive intent.

    May needs a bake. Shades of quarter one versus Saints.

    Petty must have the same magnetic polarity as the ball. Every time he gets near the near the ball it repels away from him.

    Edited by John Crow Batty

    We are not losing because of the umpires.

    Reasons?

    Melksham brain fade = 50m penalty = goal.

    Bowey brain fade = goal.

    Delivery into forward line = hopeful long bombs galore.

    would be good to see one of forwards lead towards the ball carrier for a chnage

    Yep no movement in the F50 so ball carriers are just kicking long to defenders and it looks like we are really missing a defensive small to stop them cleaning the loose ball up so easily in our full forward line.

    Port player opts to kick a dribbler out of defense obviously curling towards the boundary line instead of a drop punt and the brain rot commentary club have the gall to act like it was a legitimate pass attempt.

    That’s even WORSE! What the [censored] was dangerous about that? He didn’t turn him or slam him down. What a stupid stupid interpretation!

    Just about to cheer that we finally got a junk time goal, only to give up another junk time goal. Due to a brain fade. Not the best tackle. Max should know better, even if it was a bit soft

    Anyway, positives are that we started well and Roo can’t get a much better boost to his confidence than that, he should use that to kick a bag, and drive a win for us. We can win this but got to stay sharp, and no more gifts.

    6 marks inside 50 to port that quarter is awful. Essendon gave up 22 marks inside 50 to Geelong last night. We are on track for that if we don't lift defensively

    Petracca just the 2 disposals. Needs to lift.

    Dead set liability. Too lazy to defend so instead just wants to guard space. Dropping McDonald for him was a massive mistake .

    Always the late goal in red time. So poorly coached

    13-2 clearances

    what’s the point if we give it away every time.

    they just sit back and mark the shanks

    • 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?
