Jack Martin is going nowhere.

GOLD Coast chief executive Mark Evans says the club hopes to extend Jack Martin’s contract, but didn’t categorically confirm the talented utility would be at the Suns next year.

    Although Ryan squibbed a mark both he and Rioli were important with their pressure and little bits of magic through the day today. Ryan in particular took that massive mark to be able to deliver it to Sheed.

    We need a couple badly.   You won't find too many Premiership winning teams, or even runners up, that didn't have some indigenous magic on the park.

    Lucky Ryan did take that mark or he'd be deservedly highlighted for the squib act. Lewis Jetta is a frightened rabbit too. Guess the family g & d gene missed him.

    I have never been able to tolerate shirking a contest on the footy field let alone when there is a premiership on the line. Give me blokes like Matt Whelan, Byron Pickett and Nev Jetta any day.

    Jeffy is still on our list, whether or not the magic has gone from him remains to be seen. But I do agree that I would like to see us look at recruiting a skilful fast indigenous player, there’s no doubt they seem to have some kind of magic that’s impossible to describe. 

    I’d love an Aaron Davey v2!

    There has to be one of these lurking just around the corner. We will get one, again. Davey was just a great clubman and committed player with the works.

    Must say with Kent leaving and Bugg being delisted plus Weid moving up, the VFL side from a forward perspective is looking light on

    Still very confused by he premise of the thread... 

    Are we saying we aren't trying to bring in a Luke Breust, Robbie Gray or Toby Greene..?

    I think that is illegal.

    Prius is electric, but not aboriginal, small or a crumbing forward.

    Eclectic and original?

    I’m rather surprised in view of Jeff Garlett’s rather inglorious end to the season that he hasn’t been shopped around (at least there has been no suggestion). I would have thought he might have gotten some interest from clubs like Gold Coast or Brisbane.

    Maybe he has - we are pretty good at keeping cards close to the chest nowadays, most of the time.

    • 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?
