Will be nice to see our two best rucks go at it today.

Did Neeld give away Stef to get Clark because Stef was often late to training?

Poor attitude by Stef. Contrast with the professionalism of Clark.

    More Neeld revisionism.

    Clark played his first game for the MFC in 2012 while Stef was still at the club. He left at the end of that year so Neeld could not possibly have given Stef away to get Clark.

    Yet another episode in the book of fictions about Mark Neeld. It won't be long before people start claiming he was the mastermind behind 9/11.

    Great to hear Roosy acknowledge ANB for his efforts at Casey, lets hope that he can bring that form into the game tomorrow - Go Dees!!

    I've heard the same rumour. I think there's probably some truth in it.

    late change needs to be Dunn in Wagner out. Don't give a [censored] about what he is or isn't doing on the track, he's a proven KPD and this allows T.Mac to go forward while still having 3 KPDs

    They have West. So we are generally [censored] in the backup ruck department. I would bring in Spencer but thats just me

    Oh sorry yeah.

    It was the next year of Neeldy.

    That was after Neeldy released the Bird flu across Asia then bought CSL shares.

    An apology for a careless error followed by a considered and well researched post. You are a fine example to all Demonlanders Biffen.

    So 2 emergencies remain in contention after tonight's Casey game - Newton and Dunn.  I don't recall us keeping 2 guys out of Casey as emergencies in recent games (when Casey has played before our AFL round).  Is there a conspiracy theory brewing here?

    I would like to see bugg put a hard tag on zorko, he seems to be brisbane's only quality mid at the moment, even when they got thumped by collingwood he got half their goals and his share of the ball

  • Quote

    I'd love to see Bugg hard tagging as well. Let's face it, Brisbane's midfield is hot garbage; look for their most effective player that isn't injured, tag the living [censored] out of them, and go from there. It's a no-brainer.

    Someone has to give Maximus a chop out in the ruck and Dunn has done it before. (I didn't say well but he does contest and body up)

    Dunn at least has the nature body to withstand some time in the ruck.

    • 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?
