I love Jones and he is a warrior for this club but it’s refreshishing to see not a single player in our best 22 on that list.

Having said that Petty will be come finals.

    We aren't the club doctors and unless we've heard something from the club all we can do is speculate, it might be nice to look at some people guessing but that's pretty much all it can be at this stage.

    Some of the things we know, based on the club telling us, are Tomlinson's calf strain is minor and Bennell is aiming for training in February. Sorry to be a bit of a downer but without actual word from the inside there's just no way to really tell.

    That felt to me like a bit of an upper ?

    Thanks for that imElated. While this whole site is basically based on opinion and speculation, I'm not sure that's too much of an issue. However, I'm pretty sure there are at least some known facts about when an injury occurred, what it was, whether surgery was required, and when. This would at least be a start.

    I reckon Tomlinson is a lock best 22 if fit. He missed one game in 4 years for a  more advanced team than us and it sounded like he only missed that game when they found out he was leaving them.

    What about Vanders?

    should be according to most Dees fans 

    Tommo might be a certain starter in Round 1 but training  over the period, team balance and injuries and form will also be crucial.

    The more fit the more available I reckon and plenty of competition is great for depth and future of Club and 2020.

    Tomlinson will be one of the first picked every week. 

    AVB if fit is easily best 22.

    Weid if fit is almost a lock to get a game. 

     

    Strange comment.

    I wonder it the term 'rehab group' is a bit misleading inasmuch as players can sometimes be there simply managing loads.

    Or is that too logical???

    I think Wrecker is saying that Jones isn't in our best 22.....which is obvious if everyone is fit.

    Also indicated Weid and AVB ain't...and that ain't so. They are best 22 if everyone is fit.

    Not sure I agree on one of those pitmaster but like all these discussions beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

    Less than "obvious" to me.

    Unless you're at a night club or pub, in which case beauty is in the eye of the beerholder.

    Do you realise that many of my posts in the off season are satire. I'm feeling rather bullish about where our club is, including during the season last year. 

    God, i miss that satire......

    So let me guess, you think the Weed needs to do more to justify his place? I could buy that argument but I think he needs persistence.

    That prompts an interesting thought: must a Best 22 be the best side you can field on any given day, or could it be the Best 22 you can field today while developing for the long term. If it's the latter, then Weid is, in my humble op, in that team.

    I heard that today. He is a peanut. I get his role is to have an opinion and stir the pot. But he doesn't back his palaver up.

    Cornes suggested (or at least questioned if) the bombers had mismanaged their players. But provided zero evidence for this.

    I have no idea of course about the situation at the ess with injury, but the most likely scenario is just bad luck. It happens. And happens to all clubs as some point.

    • 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?
