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

Posted (edited)

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 .

Posted

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.

Posted

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?

Posted

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.

Posted

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

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today. Firstly the bad news - McVee went down late, which does look like a bad hammy - towards the end of match sim, as he kicked the ball. Had to

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
