Not really, any half wit could have seen this problem comming five years ago. Obviously nobody did.

Could not agree more, our forward line was in decline and we didn't address the issue. I mean [censored], it was that easy to see. We should of just recruited the next Wayne Carey and our problems would of been solved. How could we be so blind. 20.. 30 people in our our football department, all missed it. F####k

 

Thanks for correcting my imagination - you're not a private school teacher are you?

HaHa!!! No i am certainly not a teacher, i could not handle Gromits every week day morning! But i couldn't resist the slight edit.

The Filth shalt never be Ladder Leaders again.....

If I worked for the Footy Department, and Watts wasn't ready, I'd have made some plans to fix our forward line prior to this season without him in the picture. Why didn't we recruit a forward? I can accept that Watts isn't ready, but when are any players ever ready. Surely, he can't be the only 19 year old whose bones are still growing that can't play.

Can I point out that Juice was recruited for just that but sadly his potential has not been realised. If he had done what was expected of him, i.e. big strong power forward, we would not be in this position. You win some and you lose some and clearly up until 12/3/2010 we have lost out on Juice. Having said that you can hardly accuse the Fd of not making plans for the forward line, they just didn't work out.

 

What were Newton, Bate & Dunn all recruited for..? To be rovers?

McNamara? Garland? PJ? Stefan Martin?

I just spoke too Jack, He will not play this weekend but will play a half a Casey next week and will be a starter in round 2 of the season proper.

He'll be ready rd 2 for a full game but it will be at casey... Jack will be waiting a couple more to appear in the red and blue

You were right, watts to play a half tommorrow for casey. Garland must have pulled up ok. He is set for more game time

Newspapers call it "The best 2nd half of football since Carey"

Sounds good exept that it should read: "The best second half since the Wizard kicked 9 in a half against that same filth".

I cant remember the year. But it was awsome. :)

  • 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?
