What are the broadcasters saying about Kent?

Done for the game. Haven’t said much else.

Gone for the day at least. Commentators are speculating that it's a PCL type injury.

Right rshoulder injury - most likely AC - done for the day

Out for game but most likely year

Having a Vailima - and refusing to pay for international access - how’s the Weid looking?

also - how did Kent do the injury? Innocuous? Jeez - he’s the modern Paul Prymke.


Gunna be a gun fight

Weid starting strong. A good contestes mark and a few involvements.

kent was going hard for a ball. Really unfortunate for him. 

 

Good stuff Gawn. Saves a certain goal deep in DemonTime.

Blow the final siren now.


Neil bullen ball so dangerous could have cost a goal

GWS spread and run on the outside in honestly terrifying. I don't think we can hold them with one down on the bench, likely to pick us apart in second half.


Not a bad first quarter GWS came out hard and we weathered the storm... shame about Kenty.

Should be a ripping game 

Hung in there well. Need some forward pressure bad. If they starting hit some of their targets we'll be toast

It’s no doubt been explained but what’s with the retro looking jumper?

160th anniversary of the day the MFC just quietly invented the game.

    Get ready for an old fashioned arm wrestle. Hopefully no wiener kids screaming 'Over the top Dad! Over the top!'

    Can we hold out with one down on rotations? 


    AGREE defensive pressure needs to improve

    I thought they were already...

    You can't expect a team to hit every one! In saying that, I think we are also playing pretty well. Just a little loose defensively but we'll see how it plays out. Trac needs to hit the sticks when he has the chance rather than trying to lay it off so much

    • 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?
