I have a feeling I’ll be crying into my wine by quarter time as Buddy kicks his 17th goal. 

This sounds like the first line of a country and western song.

    How do you test a broken jaw?

    I can think of other years

    when barracking for my team

    was everything a younger fan could do

    I could never see finals

    for there were always better rivals

    How can you mend a broken team

    How can you stop the raining goals

    How can what's begun stop declining

     

    What makes this club go round ?

    How can you mend, this broken team

    How do these losers ever win

    please help them mend this broken start

    and let them play again

     

    I can still taste the Bries

    pass the mussels if you'd please

    and a dusty Sangiovese while I cry

     

    we will never watch'em in finals

    been outplayed by better rivals

    how can you mend a broken team

    how do we stop them falling down

    …....

    I see nothing in Hore that screams he will make it. Poor decision if he is in the side.

    So who is the player from Friday not on the plane? Neal-Bullen?

    Hore and Spargo should be nowhere near the AFL side. At least playing Preuss would give Sydney something different to think about.

    They are taking a kid who had a broken jaw two weeks ago. This is way more serious than I thought.

    Spargo is tough as guts but.

    i'd prefer him out there compared to a lot of others.  even for a kid you generally know what you'll get

    Yes I think he must’ve left him out in the first tweet.

    I heard SEN mention all but Preuss as well though.

    Not discussing how tough he is. Surely it takes longer than two weeks to heal a broken jaw. Has the smell of continuing to playing Smith with a injury in a practice match. Oh that's right we did not think it would get any worse. God deliver me.

    Well combined with the issues around lack of fitness due to pre-season factors, it sounds like it would be a quite justifiable one.   

    Hopefully that is offset/mitigated by Sydney's 5 day break.

    Dark cloud over this team. Seem really bereft of confidence.

    Goodys pressers make it seem he isnt quite sure how it all went wrong or how to fix it.

    Would love if we turned it around, but history shows how poor we are against them... and up there its been how long since we won?

    Spargo wont play unless Hunt or Lockhart are a late withdrawal.

    Or if we want to try a three amigos small forward set up.

    Or if he plays in the midfield (which by the way is his natural position).

    He got dropped and then had his jaw broken in his VFL match. He got dropped for a reason and hasn’t had time to rectify the cause of his  dropping and build form to return to AFL level. If he plays, it’s poor decision making by the coaching staff.

    • 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?
