Jetta will be fine, Jones always worries me but hey no one’s knocking the door down to replace him

Jones still has talent in abundance; he is tough, he is a skilled footballer, his 'get into trouble/get out of trouble and circular evasion is very valuable, he is a good kick and passes the ball well. Reduced game time may be necessary but he is a Demon, through and through. His replacement is difficult to foresee, and in his sunset, we must develop another who can emulate his contributions.

Collingwood displaying their multiple leads from their forwards is something we need to do as well. 

Our forwards need to present to the midfielders constantly - another numbers game/percentage play that needs to happen

Our problem, nailed and exposed.

I suspect King for the Saints might put on a good performance now he is back in the team. I'd like to see him manned by Petty who is  competitive and capable; this could release May to do some stuff in delivery across the game, gaining metres on working solely in the deep backline most of the time, particularly as we are not getting a great deal of mileage gained from Salem down back. 

Just a thought.... if we are horsing for coursing ...

Yes, he continues to underwhelm. Sad as he promised so much but has stagnated or gone backwards a bit.

Lovely reply D11. Enjoy the rest of your day.

And as your best side should comprise the players most suited to the conditions and best matched against opposition players in the game at hand, then guess what... horses for courses!

My point is that besides all the hype the Saints have done nothing just like us, so you go and play your game and see who comes out on top.  You don’t bring in lesser players just because they have a bit more toe, footy is not won by the fastest team

Now that wasn’t hard D11.

I agree St Kilda are being talked up.

I agree you always play your best team.

But my view is your best team might change depending on who you play and what the conditions are.

  • 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?
