Tim Smith (calf) too. 

Smithy unable to stay on the park.  JKH down & out.... stretcher

 

looks like JKH broke his leg

Looked like a leg injury. Don't think we'll be seeing him again for a while. Hopefully he is ok the poor guy!


Just after it the Lions turned it over, and what happened? Another ANB fumble. I'll put it down to it being pre season but sheesh, it hasnt been a pretty start. 

Umps have been awful as well.

Watt do you think happens... when players go into a game,  and play to not get injured. ????

Get injured!? ?


I really hope we are playing at 40%......If not we have a bit to do. 

Globetrotter time. 

Which team played finals?

    I wish we would try.


    Yeah looked like a broken leg. Horrible!

    Back to the match, they're still smashing us. We're fumbling and missing targets repeatedly. We're not laying or sticking tackles. We're obviously just wanting the real stuff to start, but it's still disappointing to see such a lack of effort and the players being this rusty. This is it before round 1, and our skills look horrible.


    This is turning into a rubbish day.

    I am not a big JKH fan, but he is finally at the point where he is competing for a spot in the 22 and while he would always be depth in my opinion it's a cruel blow to get injured at the best time in his career to push his case.

    Also a blow to our depth.  Hope he is ok.

     

    Are we taking the pi$$?  We look incredibly sloppy in all facets of the game. Our skill level is a real worry.

    Hopefully JKH just has bone bruising or something else not too ominous.  Hyperextension is better than a twisting type knee injury usually..fingers crossed ?

    • 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?
