Woul we want him? Definitly looking for a 2nd ruckman, and i think PJ would be delisted if we found a suitable candidate during the trade week. if not, they'll retain him

    please "Mark Blake" is one of the worst if not the worst ruckman in the league, Paul Johnson is better than mark blake.

    I'D HOPE MELBOURNE WILL PERSIST WITH WHAT WE HAVE IF WE CANT GET HALE OR SOMEONE OF QUALITY!!!

    As a centre square tap ruckman, yes. Anywhere else, no. So...nope.

    If you want someone whose stats read 7 tapouts, no kicks, no handballs, no tackles, no assists, no blocks, no hard ball gets, no loose ball gets, no marks, no idea, then yes, what a great pick up....

    Excuse me, I promised never to move into sarcasm city but Mark Blake is the worst AFL footballer going around.

    I think we'd want more of a second ruck type, as a mature young ruck. More a mobile follower type of player would combine well. We already have Spencer who prob's would develop into a st ruck type. And then Gawn as well.

    We have Fitzpatrick who could become that mobile follower/forward type, but he;s only just begun.

    So I think If we were to trade for a ruck,,,, it would have to be a follower type to be a ruck partnership with the Big Russian.

    And No handbag types please.

    We could get him as Jamar no longer has the mantle as Mr Donoughts and I sort of miss calling someone that :P

    • 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?
