Five go - Pedersen, Bugg, McKenna & 2 big men in King & Flipper

Featured Replies

I think these are good sound decisions so far.

I will be interested to see how we are looking to cover the ruck situation and if we structure the list to cover the position in the short to medium term. Getting Preuss would make life easier for next season and I could see us looking at a couple of young possible rucks to develop.

 

 

 

The two talls just didn’t get lift off at VFL level and Pat McKenna was unlucky with injury but it’s difficult to persist with players who don’t show signs of advancing after four years in the system.

I’m looking forward to see what our recruiters can achieve given the limited draft position we are currently in.

Have heard that JKH and Tim Smith have signed new 1 year deals and Keilty elevated to the senior list.

Heard anything on Dion Johnstone DD?

 

 

I liked the analogy someone used last week along the lines of if you would not select them in the draft knowing what we know now let them go.

Pedo has been a great servant, I hope he is picked up by Casey and Tommy never got back from his brain fade; a real pity for him but he may well wind up at the Blues

AVB and JKH are surely getting new deals. Kent might want to leave. 

Would not offer JKH a contract at all Not up to it Kent … well tenuously hanging on and injury prone!! . Not unhappy if both go!

AVB Keeper!

Edited by picket fence

sucks for pedo coz he was so about the club, not phased by the others theyre not gonna help us win a flag so why keep them there, jkh the only other player in strife imo. meaning kent, av, smith and kielty get deals

  • 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?

    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?
