PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Bulldogs

Lucifers Hero
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Will be interesting to see how the coaches handle this lineup. with the lack of tall timber in the forward 50 we may have to use a bit of left field imagination.

Giving Petty a run forward is a possibility as is giving one of the other defenders a run there. Lever up forward anyone?

How about both Gawn and Preuss in the forward 50 and frost in ruck for  or 10 mins. petty to cover the defence.

A lot of different scenarios available I just hope that we try a few of them on Sunday.

    Why not play Keilty forward?

    Agree he’s just as good a prospect as Weid and has a better football brain and is very disciplined

    Called it a few weeks ago before the bye round mate. OMac to FF, kicks 50 and leads us into the finals on an undefeated run. Ends up winning the Norm Smith with a bag of 6 and goes down as an MFC Great next to the likes of Norm Smith and Barassi ?

    No.. he is an ordinary player who will be delisted at the end of the year.

    A so called key forward at VFL level and hes only kicked 9 goals in 10 gamrs.

    Have paid no attention to Footscray this year at all. Had literally never heard of Naughton before last week.

    Took a towering one grab mark the night he equalled Carey for the most contested marks in an AFL match and to show it was no fluke, repeated the feat twice more for the quarter. Must be a ? in for mark of the year!  Brings but memories of Shaun Smith.

    I wonder if Petty will have some time up forward he is good overhead and may defend the area better than some of our forwards. Looks like max and Brayden will rest at full forward.

     

    Like that thought.  Might be a bit too left field for our mob.

    All in favour of a return to ankle high footy boots with screw in stops and quarter cut slices of ? at 3/4 time.

    I found that swilling Brandivino on a cold winter night as a 15 year old was quite warming.  Plus it was only about 

    $ 2.50 per bottle.

    If you were influenced by Chisel into drinking that drop at that time ( “paper bag, brandivino”) then I’d suggest you must be around 55 years of age PD.

    • 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?
