    Neither would I. Weid is on target to be a good player for us.

    Or just open your eyes. 

    I recall a couple of years ago many thought Oscar hopeless. Today he is our main key back.

    He has played two good games this year for Casey both against Coburg who  cannot beat time with a stick. What else has he done?

    Any preferences of Gaff over Sloane?

    Gaff, please ... still think he is the goods for our team.

    Neither could Ringo, but he was still the drummer for the greatest band in the world.

    Weid is developing and most good players don't necessarily rip the VFL apart, as it is played somewhat differently and with less skill in passing the ball etc.

    I think Weid will be the regular 3rd key forward next year.

    What do people think about trying to get Dalhaus in as a FA? Hes quick, tough and a good tackler. The Bulldogs CEO said tonight that discussions are ongoing but they aren't any closer to closing the gap.

    Trade out Tyson!  He has played good in patches however, has not met expectations.

    would also put Kent on trade table.

    Soidee - seriously what do you really believe we could get for them?

    With the form of the VFL side I suddenly think Johnstone and Keilty are safe.

    McKenna and Vandenberg have 2 months to prove themselves.

    Can T.Smith, Keilty and Maynard all be 3rd year rookies?

    So the delistings will be minimal. JKH, Bugg and Pedo.

    Trade bait Tyson and Kent, I would hold onto Garlett for another year to see if he can turn things around.

    If we can’t get Gaff, then I completely agree he should be the secondary target

    I thought T Smith was elevated to the main list

    Your allow to elevate a rookie at the start of the year (Maynard) due to injuries (T.Smith) and the middle of the year I think. They can be elevated at the end of the year or stay on the rookie list.

    Sorry, what I meant was that I thought he wasn't a rookie anymore. Who did we put on the main list at the draft last year?

    Any gun key position defenders we can poach?   It looks like slim pickings.

    This team desperately needs one....   could we sign Adelaides McGovern and turn him into a KPD?

    I know hes just started playing WAFL level after having foot issues, but I'd sign Eric Mckenzie from West Coast on a 1 year deal. While we have Lever out, we need a hardened experience defender who can add leadership down back. 

    Former best and fairest winner at the eagles and was Co Captain at some stage also. 196cm 100kg key back who would be handy until Lever comes back and Petty develops.

    I've heard he has had further problems with his foot and is a strong chance to retire by seasons end. I would have happily nabbed him otherwise.

    After the StKilda game, it appears that he has reverted to hopeless. Roos' legacy is nearly spent. Hibberd is the only player who really lifts and works hard covering the whole backline out of necessity.

    • 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?

      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?
