Sure.

Two dropped marks as a KPF cost us goals in the second quarter. Normal service resumed.

Absolute sitters

As usual to script can’t score , coping goals in the last minute … Goodwin we are going backwards , fwd issues continue for 4 seasons, no fwds who can hold a mark! How about leaving JvR instead of flogging him as a ruck

Then people complain that he is not living up to potential. YEAH because he is being wasted rucking.

Just put him in the square for a few games and let him find his form and confidence. We can't do much worse!

Petty is the most useless forward I have ever seen! He is a defender only, but typical stubborn coach refuses to listen or change his thinking!

 

Second best in every aspect of the game.

The ease with which Port are attacking down their right flank is embarrassing.

Petracca a mere shadow of the player he once was. Slow and ineffective.

We have been smashed in marking contests, continually beaten for pace, and lacking any kind of forward craft.

It's just about time to give our youngsters a good run and let Salem and a few other veterans head into the sunset.

butters should be suspended for his hit on Koz, Maynard levels of thuggery


no forwards arent suprising

our defence is what is costing us

move petty back

We HAVE TO GET RID OF THE COACH…. He’s bloody no good, I’m sick of it, we won the flag in 21 and the last 4 years have been disaster after disaster, Port are [censored] and we’re 24 points behind at half time, if we didn’t have Kozzie we’d be down by 40

It baffles me how any AFL team can be so poorly skilled, it’s just amateurish

Perhaps the overwhelming emphasis over the last 10 years has been a blinkered attitude towards crash and bang efforts to win the Contested ball and then jam it into F50 to get a stoppage.

Inexplicable dropped marks. I really like the guy and think he will come good... and think he is being wasted rucking without a good enough block of time up forward but geez stuff like that is hard to defend!

another shocker from the ump

and again on the siren

GAGF AFL. why the [censored] can't you overpaid money grabbers sort out the umpring

Don’t worry about the shockers from the umps just look at all our player shockers. Much worse from our own players 🤮🤮

We certainly have the dumbest players in the comp. They have no idea. It hasn't changed for years. Just kick it in hope plus handball in hope. Every time it gets in our forward line, they take it out so easily and more often results in a goal.


Oliver has become a liability and Trac doesn’t seem interested

Viney is getting smoked by Butters. Get him off and get Langdon on him. Viney is simply a plodder and cannot go with the more dynamic players of the competition.

Massive coaching blunder.

Time to have a real talk about Viney.

Calmly look at all his disposals and rethink his role.

Time to bring TMac back in and get games into Jeffo. The coach’s love child Petty can [censored] off.

And give Jeffo and Roo 5-6 games together, even if they do little. Our season is shot, time to put games into youngsters

Give Lever a spell at Casey, put Petty Back. That's where he plays his best footy

Ricciuto is an annoying [censored] too. He can GAGF. I've had it.


The Saints performance is the real us. We just keep putting in these putrid performances far too often for this to be anything but a pattern now under Simon.

He truly has to go at year's end

Legitimately went into this thinking we were a chance and I don't think Port have been amazing. But time on in that quarter was scumbag stuff.

Is some nobjockey off the street wearing the no.7 jumper today? Does Steven May have to be quite so relentlessly on the verge of giving away a free? So many of these guys look like they've never played in direct sunlight before. Fritsch totally at sea.

Do something in the second half or go directly to jail with no $200.

We MUST trade out some of our ball butchers over the summer to bring in some class. Viney, Rivers, Sparrow, Oliver, Petracca, Langdon you cant have them all regardless of their other qualities.

Why was May not on Georgiades from the start.

Why is Petty out there at all.

If players somehow learn how to execute a kick into 50 in the second half we may eke out a win but I doubt why it would suddenly change now after 3-4 years of this rubbish.

Season over if we can’t pull this one back

Reckon the club are going to have to have some really serious discussions about Viney, Trac and Clarry this offseason

We can’t keep carrying so many mids who bang it on the boot and can’t hit targets

The problem for me with Melksham has always been inconsistancy.

Plays a blinder or two and then disappears for the same amount of time.

No coincidence Port piles on the goals when KP goes off.

Shame we have to rely on him so much.

Tracca needs to show more leadership.

Oliver needs to stop just throwing the ball on his boot or his trademark handball over the head without looking.

Max keeps toiling.

Turner patches of good effort.

Apart from Kozzie who has stood out?

There is still close to a dozen premiership players out there but you would never guess it.

Are we tired from playing only five days ago?

Possibly. It is a poor fixture for us.

But players who seem to be well down on form from 21...Lever....Rivers...Petty....Salem... Sparrow..( the perennial 12 disposals per game)....Oliver ....and today Melksham...Tracca..and Viney who has maybe come back too soon.

Imagine Kozzie playing in a team like the pies.

Lets see what Goody does.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
