Apart from Salem they can all be up for debate. 

Just utter slop. 

Out: Frost

In: May

Etc

    I worry about Spargo after that game and it sucks for him. He does everything right, for a player about a foot taller.

    let's be honest...there's not much at Casey.

    Lewis and May back raise the question of who goes out.

    Could Keilty get a game in place of Hoare?

    Forecast for next Saturday is a maximum of 16....much better for us I hope !!

    Preuss should have been played today if he was any good. Geelong are light on in the ruck department so Gawn should be sufficient.

    Spargo has good footy smarts and I thought he tried today and did some good things. 

    As usual, when the whole team Plays poorly, it’s easy to signal out individuals but  Spargo was okay for mine. Just needs to remain in the game at times.

    Tried to impact the game with numerous tackles but ball carrier still easily able to offload.

    Cant fault his endeavour.

    Drop: Weid

    never ever play Petracca in the centre when  Weid is ruck.

    Neither can play that role. They are both talented but hopeless.

    I don't want to see Frost in the Seniors again. Salem can hold his head high, the rest were generally average/poor today. On field Leadership non existent. Jones was awful. Same one dimensional "bomb it long to a contest" game plan, with no evidence of Plan B. Out coached.

    Both didn't have great days at all today, but you can't say they're hopeless.

    Out - Viney

    In- Anyone that’s fit.

  • Quote

    Spargo was bordering on pathetic. As was Frost, Oscar and Hore. But the problem was the performance of the leaders Viney, Jones, TMac and Gawn.

    May and possibly Lewis come in but it's going to be much the same next week.

    Get rid of Oscar and Frost. They were both diabolical! May and Petty/Keilty comes in. Both of them are just plain shithouse and add nothing to side.

    Hore is meh.

    Jones won’t chase and incredibly casual dropped simple mark, when mark and captains goal may have kept us in it.

    May, Preuss for Frost, Wagner

    Lewis will be standard 21 Day hamstring recovery 

    Disappointing if so.

    He's made for a16 degree game at Kardinia Park

    KK could be an inclusion if he gets through the Casey practice game

    Sorry, that may have read wrong. I agreed with what you wrote. I didn’t mean to imply you thought that, it was simply an extension of the narrative. Right spot, right time but struggles to influence.

    Too many errors from Spargo, agree with you re the leaders, also why didn't anyone return fire with the aggression ?

    May & Lever cant come in quick enough! Will change the whole dynamic / structure of our play. 

    Backline was an absolute mess today. Salem the only winner down back... could argue our only winner for the day. He was fantastic.

    • 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?
