you re right..he did to.

Bennell getting a recall.....Rivers staying forward.....Sylvia named in the forward pocket......rightio, I guess.

Massive game for Petterd.

Quite correct OD. Once again the sniff or innuendo of Watts having particular failings is raised simply because he is declared unfit. It is no wonder his ankles give up with the weight of BS he is constantly burdended with.

Injuries galore and a non existent forward line, surely this has to be make or break for Petterd?


He played thru an injury for a whole week, he is improving. :blink:

How do you know that he hasn't done that several times already in his career?

Go Ricky! I hope the bloke kicks 20 goals before the year is out. He needs to resurrect his career, and we need him to stand up.

James Magner is just resting. Beamer is up against it now. Feel for Jack Watts. He's been great the last month or so.

Great to see Tom Couch finally get a go. I hope he makes the best of his opportunity as its been a long road to get here for him.

The only thing of interest is to see who stands up in the next 6 weeks. Lot of blokes playing for their futures. Bate, Dunn, Ricky, Bennell. Hope they know it's time to step up.

C'mon, really?

Petterd will get plenty of opportunity to convince Neeld, if Bate and Dunn are anything to go by.

Fairly surprised by some of the selctions this week.

I cannot believe that Bennell held his spot and that is without considering any other factors except l ast week'sgame itself. Add in the game Gysberts played for Casey and Bennell is a very lucky young man. It looks like Bennell has this coach's favour which in my opinion is totally undeserved.

I feel for Moloney. Unlike many others I thought his work as a sub was OK. It appears there is more to this story from inside the club but I really feel for this bloke.

Great to see Couch in.

Petterd hasn't earned his place back and I reckon it has more to do with other injuries than his form.

Boy our forward line looks weak.

Watts is even getting a hard time for being injured.

FFS people, give it up already.

Also, I can't express in words how much I wish this season was ending this week.

Magner a bit stiff.. Possibly tired in his 1st AFL year and needs a rest and a freshen up in the magoos.

Watts..ah well Watt is...is

Beamer...hmmmmm. Something more to this me thinks.

Petterd.... go get'em Ricky !!

Welcome back Russian...

Good luck Tom

Magner doesn't seem to be in the magoos - "general soreness" = a well earned rest. He will be back. May well have been leading the B&F after his first handful of games. Another preseason will work wonders for him.

So he's been tanking for two weeks old dee?

Don't mind the ins, Petterd needs to show something over the next 8 weeks. There are a lot of players that we will see over the concluding 8 games that the club needs to make a call on. You add Green and Petterd to our forward line both can take marks and on their day kick multiple goals. Would like to see Gysberts back but we need to give Bennell, Bate and a few others opportunity to earn a spot on our list for 2013. Would like to see Bennell play off Half Back leave him there.

he's emergency for the ones

Going to try hard not be seduced by Ricky Petterd if he comes out and kicks 2 or 3 and lays a bunch of tackles this week. He is effectively playing for his career so I want to see him string a strong end to the season together, not just one good game to get us all talking on here about how much he brings to the team before going missing for the next 4 weeks.


Happy 41st Birthday today to Mark Neeld.

A win this weekend would be a nice gift...

He looks about 41.

Mind you I think he looked about 31 at the start of the year. :lol:

 

Beamer...hmmmmm. Something more to this me thinks.

haha I love Demonland

People are calling for beamer to be dropped all year due to form, but when Neeld finally does it, people then cry funny business?!

It looks like Bennell has this coach's favour which in my opinion is totally undeserved.

Could be the opposite possibly... Maybe Neeld rates Gysberts and is giving him time to really find his form, while he's not sure about Bennell so he's giving him games to decide if he stays or not at years end?

  • 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?
