Shocking team selections.

ANB and Melksham stay in after having 0 influence on the scoreboard and also defensive pressure.

Hibbered missing after ankle soreness. There was whispers before the game last week he would potentially miss due to his ankle. They play him on Walter's and he kicks 3 goals and wins them the game. We had a fit Lockhart and Jetta ready to go.

Hope we get absolutely smashed.

Agree with all of that except the last sentence

Must have played a blinder in a scratch match somewhere in last few days. Got me beat. We have a shocking/pathetic forward line HOWEVER we have played well at the Gabba so there is some hope, maybe.

 

There forward line will smash us in the air. And when it hits the ground Green will beat us. Not confident. Im sure Goodwin is throwing darts at selection. He has no idea who our best 22 are

How the hell does ANB get a game. It is a joke of a side.

They have made 8 changes and not many sides win when making 8 changes but GWS will put that to the sword on saturday. Pile up your fridge and get ready for the Goodwin thread.


Changes are very beige granted they probably right some things that didn’t work last time. 

Gee TMac is on the outer. Hoping Nev can show them what it means to play every game like its your last.

ANB you can forgive being first game back, Melky.... not so much even with the  tagged role he played last week.

Yep and I’m going to the game so that will be fun. 
 

I know I’m lucky to be able to go to a game by bloody hell its the first time in a long time I’m not looking forward to it or excited to be going. 
 

Sad but true.

That was ANB 2nd game in a row.

It is obvious to me that he is injured.

Sorry Dazzling I have blocked out the previous week... Yeap he’s very lucky.

Unless Harley is injured you’d think they should get him some more game time this season ahead of the ANBs.

Dropping Preuss and Bedford is the right call.

Replacing Preuss with Brown rather than TMac is justifiable but questionable. Have to query where TMac is at.

Replacing Bedford with Spargo is fair enough, it's not like Hannan was in any better form when he was in the side.

I love Neville and am glad to see him back but there is no reasonable way he should be in front of Lockhart based on 2020 output. It doesn't make sense for us to be naming Lockhart as an emergency if he's injured or unfit. I do not understand the Lockhart omission and continue to disagree with it.

I'm happy with the selections. It's not an inspiring lineup but the players currently out of the team were all given chances and didn't perform. Swapping all of our forwards every week doesn't help anyone, so I'm glad to see slightly more continuity.

I envy you for being able to go demonox. Even if there are games here next year I doubt we will be able to go.


Smith and ANB given games makes my blood boil. Jetta should have played last week in the wet conditions. Selection is a joke and has been all season.

He has to have some sort of injury.

Does Nev go to Greene 'titan'??? he's got the physical strength and game smarts, Greene is not lightning.

Surely we wouldn't play Hunt or Salem on him.

Maybe Smith but I hope not.

Half a dozen coldies before the game might help.

  • 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?
