Lockhart not even an EMG this week, would love the club to bring forward some transparency on what's happening with him.

 

Fair enough.

Is Lockhart going to be delisted? Can't get a game, can't even get a spot in the emergencies, was beaten to the small defender spot by Jetta who, though we all love him, was not in form when selected, got dropped out of nowhere.

Looks like the end of an era with Jones and Jetts on the way out sadly. 
 

Positive change with Hibbs run and skills.

Re Lockhart

You have to wonder if the smiling after errors and turnovers turned Goodwin off?  Probably reading into it too.much. Perhaps just boils down to the repetition of some costly decision making. Hope he is playing next year. Has great potential.

No Jacko. If we need to gain 50+ points on the Saints we better be hoping GWS make up the lions share of them as I can't see us doing it tbh. 

 

Gotta love the media. Headline on AFL site that Dons Wield The Axe. Actually 3 ordinary players out and 3 good players back. They are much stronger than last game. Hardly wielding the axe.

Smith: 191

May:193

Lever:195

Hibbo:186

Rivers:188

Tomlinson: 194

Avg: 191.2

Essendon have 3 forwards under 185cm

all they have to do is let the ball bounce in their forward 50 and we're royally f'ed in the a**

We could use a Baker's dozen.

Really?

Rivers, Hibberd and Salem are more than handy at ground level, while May is no slouch either.  Seems like a strange argument.

On Lockhart - strange how much love he is now getting, although I agree with it.

Hibberd in is the right move.

Hibberd  is a good in  that will steady the back line. 

Jetta a bit stiff thought Smith would get axed. Hibberd is a good in can't complain about that.

Hurley back in.... guh that is not ideal for our shaky talls.

Wasnt Redman taken with one of the picks we gave up for Melky? He’s looks a decent player.

hibbo had 3 kicked on him by walters and everyone was saying hes not small enough for the slippery little blokes then nev had 3 kicked on him by daniel last week who basically hadnt kicked a goal all season until then and now tippa is gonna run riot pretty much unopposed. u should be more worried

I wouild have Jackson and Sparrow in the side with ANB and Brown out.

Would have liked Smith out instead of Jetta, I think we need 1 more smaller defender in this side

Smith can play small

That's the folly of selection.

One week we dissect a team like Saints and GWS within an inch of their life and have excellent results and look organised and committed to a plan

Then it appears as though no planning has been done in at all and recognition of Swans Freo and Bombers different lists and smalls. PS Remember Daniels and Bombers smalls 18 mths ago on the MCG!  Twenty (20) goals !!!

Jetta was not the one to play it's Lockhart to mind Tippa.!!!

I would've left Spargo out ... quit while we're ahead

Otherwise happy with just the one change, Nev looked spent

How could Nev be fit enough or fast enough for this challenge ???

Simple reason people are asking why Lockhart   Isn’t playing is we don’t have a small lockdown defender! 

if tipinwoodi kicks 3-4 

walters vs Freo unmarked for easy goals

  • 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?
