Had enough of these forward kick in hope

It's been glaringly obvious for 4 years, yet little has been done to stop it. If anything it's got worse

    Melksham either has a good day or nothing.

    Sadly it's the latter today.

    Should be realistic that he’s old as hell, sub only on 6 day breaks.

    Some of the most disgusting lazy defensive efforts topped off with rubbish goal kicking

    RIP 2025

    All they have to do is play keepings off for 9 minutes or so. We can't score quickly or consistently

    Add to that our constant turnovers and ineffective loose zone plays right into the oppo's hands in close games like this

    So easy.

    We are just so easy to play against.

    And predictable.

    We don’t convert, can’t sustain and on turnover, we are too slow.

    What a different game this is if we kick those chances earlier in the quarter

    Goodwin will be known as the fought breaking flag coach but also a coach with biggest missed opportunity to win another one! He just fix the issues which have dogged the results in the last 4 seasons ! Time to part ways & say thanks for a flag but too much talent for a bottom 6 finish , leaders need to look I. The mirror with undisciplined acts costing us late goals , what was Viney thinking

    We blew it in third and umpires delivered coup de gras. We will collapse from here

    Not sure why any of you are surprised by the cheats umps. We have been umpired out of 3 games this year. Make this 4.

    Umps have been [censored] but we've had a decent run from them as well, can't blame this one on them. Our players are just fair dinkum brain-dead, senior players have lost this one again. How many times does it have to happen before something changes?

    Would have been nice to have gone down having a red hot crack but looks like we've chosen to give up instead. Ho hum.

    3:7 since half time

    What do you expect??? But Simon will say..... yeah we have been working incredibly hard on our goal kicking!

    goal kicking again

    Broken record. Should have easily, EASILY kicked 4 more goals in 2nd and 3rd quarter. That would have locked in the momentum, and given us confidence and belief to finish.

    Very frustrating to say the least.

    • 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?
