FFS that is one of the stupidest things I’ve ever heard. I’m just glad they didn’t kill the poor bastard.

    i personally trust the football / fitness etc. staff to be doing the right thing by our players

    Some decisions to play players who are injured have been bizzare. Misson already has a job secured elsewhere so is his performance for the next several months something that isnt important?

    If he wasn’t carrying so much extra weight.. he may have been able to resurface quicker! 

    Actually, if he is fat as everyone makes out, he should have floated!!

    If Trac plays well this week, let’s try and drown him before every game.

    If Trac plays well, let’s try and drown the whole team before every game...

    All good.

    I had a fair few bevies and got home to find one of my favorite players had nearly drowned (probably not even close to what actually happened but that's how I read it at the time.)

    My post was purely emotional.

    The club should do some Mongolian throat singing together to increase their lung capacity. ?

     

    I don't know about lung capacity...  but it Would help with sleep-apnea.

    This is what the Adelaide power stance was missing ?

    That last effort on the boundary line to win that contested ball and kick it forward was huge.

    Please lord let him one day put it all together and fulfil his potential.

    May be he should have a near death experience each week 

    Maybe this pool training,  helps them to overcome some fears, as well.  

    Forcing them out of their comfort zones.

    Something needs to be done about that ridiculous high ball drop. A good player will learn and adapt

    They asked Maxy about it on the radio after the game and said yeah I have never seen a medicine ball used on the MCG before, pointing out what was the pint. Then they joked about his height helping him because he'd have his head out of water. 

    But then jokingly said maybe Petracca should do it again next week seeing as he played well today.

    Apart from that horrible set shot for goal, I thought he was good today.

    I was surprised to see he only had 11 disposals (along with only  2 tackles, 0 goals).   Obviously thats a very low output but he was very physical and had some big moments.  He certainly didn't play poorly, which you'd think he must have just looking at the stat count.

    Still needs to lift big time though.

    If/when he sheds some Kgs,  those number of contests,  and so disposals will increase.

    • 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?
