BACKPAGELEAD

Charles Happell - North Melbourne. Followed Doug Wade across from Geelong all those years ago. 5

Ashley Browne - Hawthorn. Has reserved seats. 8

James Dunn - Essendon. Between the Bombers and the Australian cricketers, is doing it hard. 8

HERALD SUN

Mike Sheahan - Melbourne: Avowedly neutral, but his heart does beat true. 3

Mark Robinson - Essendon. Doesn't make a big deal of it, but the occasional 'we/us' slips through. 4

Mark Stevens - Western Bulldogs. Fanatical. David Smorgon has him on speed dial, and vice-versa. 8

Scott Gullan - Western Bulldogs. Lives in and writes about Geelong, but is a Dogs man. 5

Jon Ralph - Richmond. Will bang his first in the press box from time to time as the Tigers turn it over again. 5

Jackie Epstein - Collingwood. Posed with the premiership cup for her Facebook profile. 7

Daryl Timms - Hawthorn. Hails from the same part of the world as Michael Tuck. 6

Chris de Kretser - Essendon. Borderline feral. Two most-used words: 'Carna Bombers'.8.5

How can Sheahan's "heart beat true" ? He was involved (orchestrated?) that "On The Couch" setup that featured the nondescript Brock McLean and started this whole tanking issue

We have only one and he described our club as disgusting and pathetic. His show landed us in this tanking trouble. Me personally I would tell him to f... off.

Maybe that is why we have no media profile.

I know, right?

I was just interested to post this, because some people were trying to guess who EQ barrack's for. It's nice to know from what angle people are coming from.

  • 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?
