    T mac still playing??? take him out of his and our misery for the love of god

    and Petty in? he must do a lot at training coz he has looked poor at AFL level.  I'd play Keilty at the back before Petty

    The rest of the year was supposed to be a trial and acclimatisation for all our youth and second-line players. The FD are still nuts.

     

    I tipped Freo at around 4.39pm, well before the injury update. I might put some cash on them now as well.

    Petty ahead of Oscar..

    Quiet a statement there.

    Not really - not only is he not even named in the VFL this week, Oscar hasn't played since he was dropped, having missed the last Casey match as well. 4-6 week case of mystery injury syndrome?

    Fair enough, I don't know much about the intricacies of a collar bone plate repair. From what I've heard though, it's a 4-8 week recovery for civilians, so he did come back quite quick for someone playing a high impact sport.

    On Lever, I'm not saying it's the cause, but the incident in which his knee was injured was when he was just not up to the speed of the game. Watching the replay it was even commented on at the time that he was not ready for the speed of AFL. My point is just that the contest he was injured in may not have happened if he had had more match time leading up to his return.

    And in the end, I'm not trying to make it sound like that's how it is, just saying you could potentially argue those things.

     

    Hogan last year, back within a couple of weeks.

    Also why would Omac come in for an intercept player like Lever? May yes, but not Lever. Petty for Lever makes more sense.

    As statements go it's a pretty limp one.

    Tonight's outs make stuff all difference. Freo was winning yesterday and is still winning tonight.

    Didn’t we draft a big weapon from , was it North, to park up at Ff and chop out max ?

    hows he tracking? Anyone got some dead horse

    Not sure Petty is needed.

    May can take Hogan.

    Frost can take Cox.

    Hore can also help out in the key defenders department.

    The rest of their forward line are full of dangerous smalls such as Walters and Matera.

    Hoping the Petty selection isn’t a waste of time.


    The Petty selection is one in maximising development. Season’s over, may as well give it to young player’s who show potential, as opposed to bringing in duds and geriatrics.

    I hear he had a promising pre-season and is looking ripe for debut in the JLT series in 2020

    it will come and

    why wouldn't we bring in a player lacking mobility against a  side who loves to create run and carry opportunities from their back half

    Yes quite.  Oscar has not convinced too many that he has the goods to be a consistent KPD.  

    His strengths include a good defensive punch and being a very tidy kick.  However his game day handballing skills, body strength and ground speed will keep him at Casey.

    You could potentially argue anything. But you continually to "potentially argue" that players came back too early.

    Not sure why you're so mad mate? I'm not stating things as fact just putting forward a discussion point about the injuries.

    • 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.

      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?
