Shut up.

Do you think Watts should be in the team head of Grimes?

    I think he thinks you should shut up.

    Your constant bagging and irrational posting of Watts makes it difficult for me to have a footy debate.

    Fwiw, both should play.

    All I want to see is Bernie do to Pendlebury what he did to Dangerfield..........win lose or draw I want to hear those toothless bogans booing.......but I will settle for them booing the umpires if we are in front and getting what a 'one eyed' supporter feels is an easy ride. :-)

    If we can control the midfield we will win....it's as simple as that......

    ......so we need to be harder, lower and relentless.

    Go Dees

    Did Roos say they expect Tyson to play?

    He's not even named in the possible INs.

    What gives??

    Ineteresting. Tyson named for Casey.

    Looks like they want him to get a run before coming back for the seniors.

    just texted as much to my mate. I want pendles repeatedly put into the ground.

    I'm tipping a win. Let's not forget who the Pies have played this year and which teams have beaten them.

    We still don't come to play each week we pick our matches and this weeks is one of them. We must be accountable and match their tackling intensity and pressure.

    Might be good to get his fitness up given his lack of run in his few games this year

    Well I do hope it is better than last year. I remember Jonsey kicking the first goal a minute in and we didnt score much else and kicked badly for the rest of the day.

    Great that Maxy has got his chance. Im looking forward to see how he goes.

    Final bench will be interesting. I expect Watts brayshaw and grimes to remain. We are very tall, Id expect spencer to get dropped because grundy and goldsack are very mobile and athletic ruckmen and Spencer struggled against Pyke a few weeks ago.

    Anyway I have given up a 8 hour penalty rate work day to go to this game, so melbourne better put on a good show.

    But also looking forward to seeing Neale Daniher and the poor celebs that have to do the ice slide.

    With Fitz and Gawn named in the starting 18 you'd think Spence is out wouldn't you?

    Interesting selection. Thought Fitzy and Howie a bit lucky. Unsure about what interchange bench ex Brayshaw tells us?

    There is much similarity between our game plan of 1865 and our game plan of 2015...Yes the 150th anniversary of everyone on the ball....the rolling maul. Scores around then were similar ..ie 3 goals for an entire match could win you a game......so far this decade the other teams have, sadly, mostly managed more goals than 3 .

    Roos plan is to exhaust the opposition players by having 100 ball ups. When this game plan doesn't work and we can't get a possession the players become DISCOMBOBULATED. I hope this clears things up for a lot of people.

    The Gawn trigger has been pulled, another bullet in Jamar's chest.

    I have a suspicion that Roos is giving both Gawn and Spencer a chance to show they can hold the no. 1 ruck spot down before the end of the year. If they show him they have what is needed it's all good, otherwise they may find themselves on the outer while we trade for another option from somewhere else. Spencer has been ok but not amazing in his games so far, now it's Gawn's chance to show that he can go one better.

    • 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?
