Not great for Demonland but it’s the way it should be. 

Agree on both points. Very healthy. Unless of course you are trying to prosecute a club in crisis narrative.

    Perhaps even less so. Lewis was 29, Smith is about to turn 31

    Smith can still jog though, doesn't go to ground, and doesn't give away undisciplined 50s.

    Clarko knows there is still 18 months of bonefide value with Smith.  In relation to Lewis, it was Trash and Treasure at the local Sunday Market.

    So you think Smith will still be just as quick and far nearing 33 years of age? Good for you.

    Lewis was far from a trash and treasure pick up IMO. 

    I'd be fine for us to have Smith, but only costing very little and for 1 year with tough incentives for 2. I think he's 12 mths off done

    Read what I posted.  I didn't say he would be as quick.

    Big deal. Off you go to your Richmond forum, Tugger.

    This was looked at today. We (rightly) baulked at 3 years for a 31 yo. 

    Racehorses who cant win their own footy are a liability when the pace goes.

    Turning 31 in a few weeks.

    I would pass. We can do better.

    Well I would have hoped we worked him into the deal for Frost! We ended up with jackshyte for Frosty in the end when we should have worked Isaac into the deal. A 2 year deal gets us an experienced player who still has ability.

    It is interesting how easily we could have moneyballed this draft to fill some obvious gaps for minimal cost while we still played the main game for first round draft picks. Think Isaac Smith for the wing, Jenkins/Bruce/Ellis, up forward, Dougle Howard down back? Oh well let’s go to the draft for a small forward and what else?

    Isaac is not going anywhere. Looks like he only wanted to leave the Hawks by cashing in with a 3 year contract on big bucks. The Hawks were not interested or any other club. So he will stay with the Hawks.

    • 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?
