Poor kicking skills is our biggest issue IMO.

 

Has been for a while. That includes field kicking and handball as well.

Tell you what, North should be well ahead. They have 1 VFL too up player and we have 8. To be honest i have never rated them.

Bland and boring football club who will be bottom 4 this year.

Good move IMO.  Both have had a good hit out, now to rest them before next week's Marsh Series game.

    Type of match where the positives will far outweigh any negative. Pickett is electric, he is quick, he is fierce. He really does have a cyril type of presence.

    Mitch Brown might be the cheapest best pick up in a while.

    If he learns how to kick straight

    Yes,  he could have kicked 6 or 7 in his first 6 qtrs for us. Traditionally i think he has been ok.. 

     

    Bradtke looks a long way off. Getting rag dolled.

    A very long way off Nel.

    Loving Trent Rivers.  Very happy to take them on and can then hit a target 40-50 metres away.

    Jordon has a real crack doesnt he? (Channeling my inner Broocy)

    Rivers has a HUGE leg on him. Looks a real player imo. Super excited by him, which will only get worse as i get more drunk.


    Rivers could play more games than expected. Lovely kick. We have needed another good ball user so badly.

    Rivers taking off and nailing target up the middle of the ground was great. When we drafted him I said he'd get most game this year of our current draft crop and eventually replace Hibberd across halfback. He's looking likely!

    Rubbish set shot from Bedford. Needs to do better if he ever wants to crack a game at AFL level.

    Sparrow looking good today as well. Love his hardness.

    Lockhart developing well as a back pocket. Could be the Jetta replacement in a few years time.

    • 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?
