I like it. Roosy basically saying if you muppets refuse to go forward spotting up a target and are so desperate to just bomb it in, let's see how that works for ya. I'll even give you every match fit tall forward on the list to bomb it towards. Go your hardest!

Presumably when this fails miserably the players will realise it's a waste of frigging time and they might start trying the actual game plan

Or just drop their bundle again and cease to function

    when is the penny going to drop with Jack watts, the guy has talent to burn, a physique not all that dissimilar to nat fyfe, why can't he just show something and play out of his skin for once! So frustrating

    He's far too well paid and content to bother putting in 100%

    Well the boys flew in last night and I just had a quick chat with Nate Jones, who is just out on Langley Park having a kick with Gawny, Watts & Howe. You can see the ground from our building and I grabbed an MFC flag I had and they signed it for my young lad, hopefully that will be another incentive to keep him on board for a few years along with a solid effort on Saturday night

    Got the flag signed for your son hey PSD sure u did!!!!

    Well done.

    Riley has shown he will be a good player but right now hes nowhere near fit enough

    Another with a compromised pre-season. That he even made it back to senior's level this year is an achievement.

    FMD we drop one bloke who actually gets the footy in Riley??

    I know his disposal has been "Iffy"

    46% iffy last week. Based on that, the majority of times he gets the ball, it goes to the opposition.

    Rubbish changes. Not that we have much to work with.

    Depressing.

    I would think the opportunity to see Gawn, Jamar, Dawes, Pedersen, Frawley and Fitzpatrick all in the same side would be a little more alluring than that.

    God next weeks game here already. Still too deflated from gws debacle.

    I have about as much interest in this game as I do in extracting an ingrown hair from my left nut.

    Can someone tell me when it is over. Make it stop !

    Poor Strauss...

    Nearly forgot he was still on our list. Unfortunately, he won't be around next year. Wish him all the best in his future.

    I don't mind we've tried something a bit different and gone tall. Not sure if it'll make much difference but eh, it's the end of the season. Why not? Good to see Fitzy and Pedders back.

    We played the Giants last week. We play the Giants this week. If King was fit as well, I reckon Roosy would have selected him!

    God help us in the second half when our handful of runners tire.

    I can hardly wait.

    I'll be so high on post operation drugs I'll probably think they are all magical uncoordinated giraffes.

    The big question for me is: Do I bother to watch it?

    Only if you enjoy pain and depression.

    Fitzy resembles that when you're straight.

    FMD! GEEZZZAS

    Maybe it's a fitness issue fence, big ground over there and perhaps that's what saved Matt Jones who was awful last week.

    He is a guy that leaves me cold gs now I will admit I have not seen every game he has played but the best I have seen from him is average and most weeks he is less. As you say he was terrible last weekend.

    I suspect the only reason he is still in the side is there is no one else better.

    He had one game where we really saw what he could do. From that I think we've got a very good prospect, but he needs to be fit and consistent.

    • 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?
