    I see they've brought in former Essendon listed ruckman Gach Nyuon to give King and Keilty a hand in the ruck. Casey has struggled so far in the ruck department. Does anyone know how tall Nyuon is?

    Good thinking. It must have been tough on Mitch King coming straight into the team after more than 12 months out of the game recovering from an ACL and having to lead the rucks against some experienced opposition big men. Nyuon is 198cm but light at 83kg according to the VFL Record. He has an image problem after getting into some hot water in the past and this is his big opportunity to atone and revive his career. 

    Interesting that the selectors went with Nyuon ahead of rookie Lachie Filipovic who remains in the Development League as a project player. 

    As for Declan Keilty, I think it's for the better that the club concentrates on working on him as a KPP with an occasional run on the ball rather than mainly in the ruck where at 194cm, he is always at a height disadvantage as a ruckman.

    Talking to an opposition ruckman some weeks ago he was quite disparaging of Keilty as a ruckman. You might be on to something Mr. Jack.

    Looking forward to a big response to last week. Hope Milkshake plays, and ANB is carry over emergency for Sunday.

    Another difficult game as Port have again recruited with a wave of cash to topline VFL players and ex AFL players.

    Not sure who kicks enough goals for Casey.

    Hope ANB, Harmes, BK, Trenners, Stretch can control the midfield

    Didn't they almost fold because they had no funds?  Did they overspend on players?

    I might make it down for this one. Keen to see how Johnstone is progressing.

    Good luck at the borough.

    Never easy but always do-able.

    Melbourne fans will be able to buy cheap tvs and socks for cash.

    No receipts though.

    Port style.

    great club-hope Casey turns up .

    That was my impression too. I thought they were in desperate need of cash to remain financial.

    Interesting to see a 'Cook' lining up in a key position for Port. Been a long time since the old VFA days when Fred Cook kicked a bag every week for the Boroughs. This weekend's Cook is at the other end of the ground, hopefully letting a Casey bag through.

    We at Demonland know all about this particular Cook. Once was an All Australian KPF and a first round draft pick for the club.

    Conditions are perfect for football at Casey Fields. 

    The Development League is under way and the Casey boys have struck early 1.3.9 to 0.0.0.

    Expect a few changes to the senior team judging from the team out there. Gach Nyuon and Todd Vander Haar who were both expected to play tonight are on the field in this game.

    How are Filipovic and Hulett playing?

    Any reason why Hulett is playing in the development side?

    Is he? He was named in both the seniors and development squad.

    I fear that the coaches have put a line through him as soon as they switched him to defense.

    I know many are trying to forget, but how is Lucas playing nowadays? Has he matured into a decent KPD?

    • 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.

      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?

      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?
