Was it Healy or Buckley who said Fritta milked that free kick? Why are we always under scrutiny by the commentators? Every week, every game.....And yet we sit and take it.

We are not Collingwood, Geelong or Hawthorn. HQ not going to do anything for us. No point sooking publicly and looking like clowns.

    Jeeez we need to really really seriously practice our point kicking!! Our goal to point ratio is far too close this game, I’d like it to be 1.16

    Awful missed tackle from Rivers

    Yeeeep, that one got me cranky. It was as if he thought just moving through the same space was enough, without any need to put the clamp on or make body-on-body impact.

    So many fumbles and slips and misses like that this quarter.

    Feels like we're getting 20% off the best from almost the whole team.

    Between that and the commentators it hardly looks like it has been a 3 goal to 1 quarter.

    Petty going for a possession a quarter average.
     

    And the mute button has gone on here..I can't listen to the absolute garbage spewed by the Fox commentators any more today. Unbelievably biased.

    Seven have been no better, maybe worse at times.

    Channel 7 surprisingly fair imo. Kane Cornes can be heavily biased, but reckon he’s been pretty fair just tells it like it is.

    Is pickett injured?

    Wonders will never cease. Petty took a mark.

    FOR THE LOVE OF GOD THIS GOAL KICKING IS A SICK JOKE 😡


    Unbelievably Petty couldn’t get out of the way of that ball. And just lick that he can’t frigen kick straight Goodwin.

     

    FFS get rid of Petty. Just a disgusting excuse for a forward.

    • 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?
