    Feel for Rowell. Shoulders can be a frustrating heal sometimes. I don't feel for GC though. The AFL's baby. F em.

    Appears to be a new rule. 
    Players taking a kick outside the boundary line, aren’t being made to bring the ball in over the mark, but rather are being allowed to continue on outside the line . Should be thrown in, as soon as they play on or kick it outside the line.

    Move sideways off the line and its play on.  If the ball is fully over the boundary line, it must be out of bounds.?  

    And as you say,  should then be the umpires ball to throw in.

    Gold Coast doing a better job at the moment at countering Geelong’s movement of the football than we did last week. 

    That wouldn’t be hard Whisp. Most teams can counter it except us.

    Even the coach said we didn’t know how to get the ball back. That says a lot.

    Be interesting to see how we get outcoached this week. So many options.

    If you’re taking a kick outside the boundary line, you can play on, or switch the kick. You don’t have to kick the ball directly over the mark. Is that what you mean?

    But if you do play on outside the boundary line and Then hesitate while being outside the boundary line, then it should be thrown in. If you play and commit to it, without hesitation then it’s play on.

    We had King right in front of our door step.

    Questions need to be asked who the [censored] ticked off in trading it away for May.

    This is the job of the recruiting staff and list management team. Messed it up, there's no way around it.

    hindsight is 20/20 but goddamn....

    A part of me wants to be at ease that Luke Jackson can be our Ben King..

    GC skills dropped off half way through 3 quarter.

    What, you can run outside the boundary line, past the mark and keep running there, out of play  until you kick it in and that is ok. I don’t think so.

    To be fair, after the 2018 finals we probably thought Weideman was the next King brother. 

    There’s not much fairness hereabouts.  But I see the GC who have passed us according to the doomsayers don’t seem to be losing to Cats by just a few points.

    • 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?

      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?
