Solid win vs Freo.  Another must win next Saturday, and we are back on the MCG vs the Doggies.

The conditioning staff will have their most important week of the season, as recovery is paramount after playing in tropical conditions.

    I didn’t see Bernie play in the 2’s today, did he play?

    makes sense except one plays back the other forward.

    Could the versatile Pederson get a game down back? ... Frankly I' think Bernie will return

    I didnt see him either. Hannan did well given the conditions.

    If Smith was surplus to our defensive needs this week then no point playing him next week, so I expect him to be dropped. Not sure who gets his spot, but I think a running player over a tall.

    18 players hit the scoreboard tonight. These four didn’t.

    Out: OMac, Jetta, J Smith. Frost

    I'm a Nibbler fan, but he has to go for mine.  In Bernie.

    Would love to drop Lewis and ANB but don’t see an obvious replacement.

    Melksham has to be looked at. Last 4 weeks dreadful.

    I thought Smith, Spargo and ANB were our least effective tonight. Lewis also did some

    Smith played most of the game forward so not sure there is a role for him. 

    Not sure there is anyone really demanding a promotion though.

    Since Queens Birthday our glaring weaknesses have been leg speed and defensive pressure.

    Frost ,Garlett and Smith are pretty quick.

    I thought Smith had a fair first half.

    VDB got 16 tackles in the reserves.

    Spargo goes alright but he has limitations.

    Lewis had another mistake riddled game.

    If Vince and Lewis aren't getting pushed out we are not moving forward.

    I assumed Smith in the forward line was in response to the way Fremantle occupied our forward line, rather than our idea per se. It wasn’t going to be OMac, Frost, Hibberd or Jetta, so he’s th logical next choice. I can’t think of any other reason for it because he definitely did not look a natural forward.

    ANB lucky to keep his spot, hes in his 2nd bad patch of form for the season after his slow start.

    • 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?
