Considering he hasn't had a chance to even show what he can do in the seniors for us yet I don't know how we are meant to judge him....all I do know is every week Max is going to get smashed by 2 ruckmen and we have another one who could help him out kicking dew off the grass in the VFL

Actually, he has had a chance in JLT and practice games and has been underwhelming - he's also been injured as I understand and therefore not fit enough to justify inclusion

He gets his chance this week presumably at Casey - start knocking the door down Mr Preuss and genuinely earn your spot rather than being gifted games because we simply want to protect Max - there are others arguably more deserving that could perform that function 

 

I have no idea why we picked up Preuss, who wants to be a back up ruckman ?. The Wagners bros. doesn't excite me one bit.  I can't see us beating the Bombers.

I agree. No offence to the fellas but a team with two Wagners in the starting 22 isn’t going anywhere.

The upside is if the above happens, the media blowtorch will be heavily applied, and that’s when we will see a response and maybe get our season up and running.

...and then we'll be accused of tanking deliberately to get the media to apply the blowtorch to get our season up and running.

Then in 2029, the Herald Sun (should it still exist) will have a front page story about the Demons tanking in 2019, which will get our 2029 season up and running...

Is that recent?  I ask only that Daniher is out there and I thought he wasn't training for a while.  Could be wrong.

If it is recent why would Daniher be doing training drills if he isn't playing tonight.  It would make sense to have the selected forwards train their drills...

Not entirely sure tbh. Ripped it off BF. I’m hoping it’s from this week.

wow, just wow. I reckon they are going at 8% efficiency there.

About the same as our match day efficiency

We must be tanking again.

I love how quickly all the air has gone out of our tyres, from premiership favs to wooden spoon chance: only at Melbourne!

Situation normal. Just like the Daniher years. Even numbered years we were princes; odd numbered years we were paupers. 

Hot and windy conditions.  Should be a cracking night for footy if the wind comes off a bit.

off for a few thirsty ales before the game (preload at normal prices) as the weather suggests, then off to the ‘G

no excuses, Mr Goodwin?  Lets see....

  • 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?
