Is there a rule saying we have to kick it to our captain at all costs??

No just putting what I was told by interested parties, any comment on the second bit or is it fact getting in the way of hyperbole again?

    He wasn’t in my top 3 for votes Saty. If you want to only look at stats that support your argument, JKH gained 128m with those 14 disposals which barely rated as average (9m per disposal). You would hope he’d be effective moving the ball 9m forward.

    0 1% acts in 4 quarters of footy.

    My preference would be Kent over JKH, that’s all.

    He is ineffective. Has no presence, the footy is always a hot potato. Tackles weell, but doesn't like contact. Lacks composure. Shouldn't be in the side.

    Glad you cleared that up. I thought you were talking about Saty.

    I am more than effective, don't pander to the group think malaise that infects this board

    Do you ever have your own thoughts?  Or are they dictated by others?  You don't like group think, yet you go with the group think at the club all the time.  Interesting.

    And for the record, JKH shouldn't be kicking it to the captain if he's under pressure.  He should be doing the team thing and taking the best option presented to him.  Jones wasn't the best option, captain or not.

    Your own thoughts? You just post what the players or coaches supposedly tell you. That's not your own thought, that's just regurgitating info from someone else.

    • 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?
