    Wish we still had Kent 

    Why?  Alright, he's playing okay today, but he did that for us too.  Then he'd go missing for a few games or get injured.

    Interesting start to the Port vs Carlt game.  Port 4.2.26 to Carlton 5.2.32 just before Qtr time. 

    Will be rather shattered if Carlton win or run Port to the line in a close loss.

    When he was fit he was normally best 22, and gave us something up forward. We offered a 1 year deal because of the injuries, saints offered 3 i think. I hope his body holds up and has a good career. But if i had the choice for a spot on the list  between a fit kent and a maynard or hore, i would be picking dean any day of the week

    Charlie Curnow down into the rooms with a knee injury. He was running straight like chasing to tackle and just suddenly went down. Barely change of direction or anything. Very strange knee injury. Let's hope it's not serious, as knee injuries are striking hard across the league thus far this season.

    Because we need speed in our forward half, with Hannan out for most of the year Kent would be very handy for us right now

    So you also believe he said it deliberately. Fair enough. I just don’t think he attacked a disabled person on TV intentionally.

    I'm not sure he did, Red. Possibly.

    He does so little research on the subject of his topic, it's professionally inept.

    However, he has said stupid, insulting things sooooo many times on air/TV that it's time he should be brutally taken to task. But who would do that? Not Gill, not the Coll board, not the media companies. He makes faux apologies and then repeats another insult 12 mths later. Such a blokey industry.

    Irrelevant as to intention. He did so .

    He's a buffoon. Any which way or why...he did so. Prime ignoramus.

    I didn’t put words in your mouth, you posted “whether it was deliberate or not “ and by that I thought you were conceding it might not have been deliberate. 

    However you know what Eddie intended, so what is the point of discussing it with you. 

    Eddie saw what was going on, that’s why the comment was made. 

    If he hadn’t seen what took place there would have been no mention of it. 

    Rather simple really. 

    He completely stuffed up and tried to squirm out of it. 

    He should have been banned from on air work after his Adam Goodes comments, but as Eddie is the “king of the boys club” nobody stood up to him as usual

    I’m friends with Cynthia, who tossed the coin, and I spoke to her partner earlier today. They were putting on a brave front but I could tell they were absolutely gutted, not just by the comments, but at being forced into the spotlight because of that bumbling fool.

    The subtext of the apology - that it’s ok to mock someone but not if they’re an ‘inspirational’ and ‘courageous’ plane crash survivor - was equally pathetic - “I wouldn’t have said it if I’d known it was Cynthia.” 

    Thankfully, the Swans hit the right note with their statement condemning McGuire, which said that everyone invited to toss the coin is chosen because of their love of the club and game, and none of them deserve to be humiliated on national television.

    Grrrrrrrr ???

    I have a fair idea how she would feel. 

    Pass on my regards and strength. This will take a few days to pass over

    Feel horrible for Cynthia, my deepest sympathies. No one deserves to be ridiculed on national television, least of all an amputee who has already suffered so much.

    Just another example of white male privilege in an industry dominated by the elite boys club. Pathetic stuff. As usual it'll be slept under the rug and ultimately ignored, with the instigator ultimately rewarded with a pay rise and bigger exposure.

    Off topic ramble  -  the new AFL.com website is awful.

    Why do the morons that run the game ruin everything?

    If it was a someone like Robbo we could say he doesn't know any better.  But as a club President, Eddie knows it is a special honour to toss the coin.  It doesn't matter who it was, ridicule of the coin toss is totally inappropriate. 

    So his comments should be condemned for what they were not because of who the person was.  An extra layer of condemnation because it was said of a very admirable person.  Add another layer for his lack of contrition last night that led him to make another apology today.

    He may live in Toorak but will always be a Broady bogan.

    Oops!  Blues hit the front late in the 3rd.  Not bad given Charlie Curnow hasn't played since the first quarter.

    Its hard to understand what happened to us last week ?

    • 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?
