Just Oscar to go now.  Then the hard decisions on some of the fringe players begin.

 

Great news.

To think I had him the gun as a potential trade bait earlier in the year.

I feel quite dirty now.

me too, primarily cos he was an obvious 'asset'

ecstatic to see his turnaround in form, and more than happy for him to stay and continue on the way he's going

Outside of Gaff and Lynch (who isn't considering Norf), is there anyone of note left on the free agency market?  They might have to wait another year... again.

Good choice by Gus and perfect timing for the Dees! Will lift Demon players and supporters spirits alike and provide an infectious and much needed optimism leading into the big match this week against the Crows. GO DEES!

Are there many hard ones ?

Blind positivism Monde.

We still have glaring holes.

good result, now to just fix his cleanliness with the ball up

cleanliness is next to godliness, lets NOT clean him up too much.

 

I want him playing more like a Demon !    like I do the rest of the side.

@old dee I disagree. We could use a couple of cherries on the top of the cake but at full strength our spine is set.

except we still don't have a chb

spot on dc, what / who do we have to give up to get one?

Must be the new tactic for list managers across the league.  If a player stalls on signing a new contract, just threaten to trade him to North.

He’ll be signed up by the end of the week.

Maybe enter Steven May?

At the very least, it would allow Lever to truly play as the intercept defender. A backline of Frost and Oscar doesn't fill me with confidence.

Hopefully after another pre-season Harrison Petty is ready to step in. However we could look to trade for one. I daresay Tyson could be used as trade bait, he could net us a second rounder to on trade for a KPD. Will be a fascinating off season

  • 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?
