Out: Hibberd, Keilty, Garlett and possibly Melksham

In: Pruess, ANB, Tim Smith and unfortunately Wagner.

The well is dry...

EDIT: forgot about Lewis. Jeffy might have to stay..

Keilty, Omac, Jeffy and if we are gonna call a spade a spade Tracca and Gus deserve to be dropped.

Tracc was good, Brayshaw poor but got heaps of it and won't be dropped 

Don't think we can replace Omac at this stage, so he'll stay in

out- Keilty, Garlett, Lewis(inj), Melk(inj), Hibberd(inj)

in-   Preuss, Anb, Smith, Baker, C.Wagner

we're going to have to do some player shuffling to cover the likely losses of Lewis and Hibberd in defence. Fritsch and Hunt to play as defenders instead of forwards would be my move, as we don't really have much defensive stock in reserve. I want Garlett gone, but he'll probably be lucky we've had a few injuries and we wont want too many changes in 1 week, but he looks cooked to me.

Petty’s form has been good. OMac has to go.


Weid anyone?

Hibberd, Melksham and Lewis are almost certain to miss.  You would think Kielty is out in favour of Preuss as well. 

Given West Coasts tall forwards, I wonder if we might see Petty come back in.  He was emergency today and has been playing well. 

Given Spargo was sitting out today as an emergency as well, I suspect he comes in.  That leaves one. 

ANB seems likely as the player with runs on the board, but I would really like to see them take a risk and give Baker a shot.  He's more risk/reward.  He can hit the scoreboard, but won't do the grinding work and assists that ANB provides. 

Disagree with Melksham out.

            B. Hill

then we could justify calling our team a bloody joke.

Griff Rhys Jones and Mel Smith very stiff....

Jeffy has given great service but maybe time to say thanks for everything.

Weid is a certainty for Perth along with Preuss.

My guess is Tom Mac down back with the above up forward.

Let's face it we're desperate.

Just to put some balance in about the Casey game. Essendon were devoid of talls. Preuss had a day out and deservedly dominated. They might be on top of the ladder but Bombers VFL side have played the bottom sides.. Coburg, Frankston North ...

Miracles do happen but hell... we'd need one to get close to the eagles in Perth

 could be wrong, but it looked like a broken foot to me.  I can't see him playing next week with that.

The latter two - No they don't.

Came back on... so you'd think he's OK 

Ohhh wait I forgot, 4-6 extending to 10 weeks

He came back on. Gingerly but still. If his foot was broken he wouldn’t get back on the ground.

Tmac said in the post match it was quite greasy out there which caused a lot of fumbles.

I’d give him one more chance.


Got myself into a corporate box next Friday night with all the fruit.

Whatever happens, I’ll end up inebriated.

  • 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?
