Jkh, Kent and blease have to to cause headaches for port surely

Nope, Port will win comfortably for Dom Cassisi.

Think we will do ok, but still lose by 40 points.

Just hoping we can kick 3+ goals a quarter.

First free kick of the day against the Jones boy... Lying on the ball in the center square with 4 port players lying on top of him ... Sigh


Maybe todays game will go the way the round has gone, either upset or surprisingly good game. Not hopeful though.

The boys have been really lacklustre ever since our win over the Bombers, it's time they stepped up again.

Dean Kent is our sub which I think is absolutely stupid. One of our only players who breaks the lines, and scores goals will now most likely spend half the game off the field.

This has actually [censored] me off.

damn

Luke Tapscott better do something for the first time in his career
 

Pot and us have been very flat the last few rounds. As Freo got done, Port have incentive to regain lost ground. And if the Cassisi factor pans out like it did with Hayes at St Kilda we may get smashed thoroughly. Will lightning strike twice at Adelaide Oval? I dont think so. All we have to play for is pride. An abstraction few of our players seem to understand.

He hasn't done much for 3 weeks. Expected him to be the sub to give Blease and JKH an opportunity and he can come on and be the impact sub this week.

So do JKH and Blease. Both break the lines and can kick goals.

Yep, a lot of love for Kent but he hasn't established himself as an AFL player yet.

If we can kick 10+ goals and be in the game for most of the afternoon that will be a small victory for us today. I hate going back to that line of thinking but after the last fortnight it would be good see us respond with some positive football.

Agree we need to hit the scoreboard today and break the lines . 5 on the board at quater time will help .


Roos has made it clear that several players are on their last chances over the remainder of the season therefore there is little point in making Tapscott the sub.

Last chance for Luke I reckon.

Hasn't done much the past few weeks BUT kick goals for us and look dangerous in attack, which struggle to do.

Pretty important I recon.

Exactly what we need. Both as a team and as supporters. I really can't bare watch another match where we have kicked a couple to half time, making it almost unwatchable.

Not arguing that, but he still hasn't done a great deal. Bobs up and kicks a goal and then you don't see him for a quarter and a half.

I'm just happy Roos has seen sense and made someone who has pace and skill the sub - making guys like Terlich the sub gives us very little, as would someone like Tapscott, who doesn't offer the same impact as a Kent would in this situation. It has to be somebody, this week it's Kent.

About time we got some PACE into the team, hope Sammy Blease plays a blinder! Also agree partially with Smithy but who then becomes the Sub, JKH?


I just want to see an elevated volume of scoring, would be nice to break 60 points today - even if we lose by over 40.

 

Watts named at half back, interesting to see if that's where he lines up.

  • PREVIEW: West Coast

    It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
