We are now a huge show.

No Hanley, no Rich, no Black.

Bring in Jordie to shut down Rockliff and we are a MASSIVE chance.

    Terrible news for Rich and the Lions.

    Hate saying "great news" when someone gets injured, no matter how much it may help our cause. Just remember, we are one Nathan Jones injury away from shutting up shop.

    Makes it ever more embarrassing when the midfield of Rockliff, Redden and Moloney run roughshod over us.

    Feel bad for Rich, he needed a consistent period now to work out his worries with taggers to get to the elite level. He's been robbed of this for now. I think he's the best kick of the footy in the AFL.

    We will have to play a better brand of footy to win.

    If we start well and get the confidence flowing across the field we will see more of our good football and be right in the hunt.

    Bad luck to Rich. Helps our chances though as Rich and Henley are two of their key movers!

    I still think Rich would be a good trade target for us at the end of the year. He's experienced now, solid body, can win his own ball and has one of the best kicks in the league.

    Hasn't handled the hard tag so well thus far this season TBH

    He's had a poor start to the season no doubt. Only lowers his trade value. I think he's attainable and would be a good get for our woeful midfield. Adds both inside and outside.

    That's the point, he doesn't handle it well at all. Moloney had that problem with us and the better teams always kept him out of the game, he's been lucky at Brisbane because Rich has been the target. On the other hand Nathan Jones has been getting a lot of attention this year and he's handling it well, he just keeps on working.

    Black played half a game in the reserves last week and was on track for a bout 70 touches before getting dragged, so he may be good to go this week.

    That would be appropriate since he always murders us. They'd be tempted.

    Brownsville?

    Sounds like some backwards town in Kentucky.

    • 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?
