Yeah, well... I guess we're not all 'know-it-all-guru's' after all.

Have to admit Mcqueen when I saw Frost lining up at Forward I had a little chuckle to myself, after th eresponse you copped from TDI

People who think they have the trust of the inner sanctum or playing group established over a long period of time do not post their info on forums

Good get Mcqueen

    In place of Hogan?, why I thought most wanted him in rd 1 team as gorilla minder, this is just a shake down run after the four hour flight, I doubt whether they will be doing anything except loosen up, set shots are the perfect thing

    This is what happens when you think you know the inner gist of the club Saty and completely shoot down someone that is just putting a opinion forward.

    Answer: You look like a fool especially when Frost played first half as a key forward.

    You're passionate but you're becoming a bore Dazzle. You with every opportunity to criticize Saty and C&B with his "golden ticket" just devalue everything you both say.

    And for what it's worth I reckon playing Frost forward went a long way to costing us the game. It meant Garland played on Taberner where he was clearly outsized. With Frost available on the backline I doubt that would have happened. Saty might have been wrong but he was probably also right.

    We all get you don't like him, just move on.

    Snide and unneccessary.

    Here's the bit you don't get. Put your man on ignore. Then you don't have to bore the living daylights out those of us who are interested in what he has to say. Are you 14yo?

    I'm happy for you that you find what he says interesting. Obviously, he hasn't bothered to tell you your opinion isn't worth anything.

    I would invite anyone to look back at how these threads derail and I reckon you would find a very common root cause.

    I don't have anyone on ignore, I just usually skip over everyone's offerings and read more thoroughly into others. TDI' offerings are becoming more irrelevant by the day, along with yours.

    So Frost not starting in the backline cost us the game basically?

    Laughable.

    It wasn't the fact we also had 4 shots at goal in a row in the last term and did not score at all was it? Or our more senior players like Grimes and Garland continue to make costly mistakes that results in goal.

    Clearly the club wanted a strong showing in contests and to implement a more attacking game-plan, but I don't think "winning" was the primary focus. These games are all about trialing. They'll benefit from knowing Frost is a more competent backman than forward.

    Personally I'd rather read these guys calling out Saty for being a condescending [censored] than his inane drivel, but to each their own.

    Dazzle can you see the irony in you criticizing Saty for the way he dismisses others arguments and then calling my view on Frost "laughable"?

    Perhaps you can't.

    • 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?
