Well I stand corrected. This is why I’ll need to think about it.

agreed not sure what positives he offers. Rather keep Trengove.

Yeah. Stand by your thought that the leading tackler on the ground can’t lay a tackle. Good lad.

I said I stood corrected on his tackling stats at that point P-Man. His second half tackling has also been very good.

I stand by my thoughts he isn’t up to it and adds very little.

Instead of attempting to belittle me, enlighten me on his upside?

Oh many pardons. Am I belittling you? I‘m terribly sorry. 

Please return to your zealousness to sink the boot in. I’ll stop hurting your feelings.

 

Done enough to stay in

barely saw Hannan today but often miss him

Fritsch can do it all

Not sure where the so called hurt feelings come into it, but thanks for the pompous reply.

Now as per my previous post, please let me know your thoughts on JKH’s positive future at the Melbourne Football Club.


Why did you ignore half his post? What is JKH's upside?

I don't see it either. But I think he gives it a real go. I'm just not sure he's fast enough to lock down a position.

 

I thought he did alright today. Finished with plenty of tackles and looks hungry for the ball

 

Has definitely improved since his last game

Edited by low flying Robbo

Did enough in last qtr to keep his spot. Tackle count good. We need guys who hunt down tackles

He tackled strongly and he was quite neat with the ball at times and quick to release.  Had some poor moments but worth another chance.  Probably playing in a position not suited to him as well (wing).

yes i think its a bit premature to start calling for his delisting. his first game in a while and he did a lot better than some others. Showed a little give him a little more time, he could be pretty handy.


First half was soft as always.

Got in some late game tackles.

Is and always will be depth.

JKH hadn't played at AFL level for a while

Worked his way into the game

Agree,  and with 9 tackles he's earnt another crack despite the slow start .

 

In for another week of the key to getting a game is being a competitor.

His job shouldn't be to get 40 touches. That's what we have Clarry and Gus for. If he gets blokes thinking twice when taking their time to size to their options, then keep him in.

Did a great kick to Hogan for a goal. 8 tackles Give him some credit

  • 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?
