Watching it live from behind the goals it was a fantastic shepherd that Sparrow supplied to Hunt. He ran full tilt for about 30-40 metres just to lay the bump and create some more room for Hunt. Very selfless. He would have known he was no chance of a possession from his actions but i’m sure they would have highlighted it in the review as a great team act.

    In fact, and not just in our games (where umpiring always seems better when you win), but across the board I think umpiring has been better this year. 
     

     

    Razor Ray managed to get the even coin toss wrong in the Geelong -Hawks game. Selwood had to tell him it was a head not a tail. 
    No improvement there.

    What the hell was dermie rabbiting on about with that.

    Great response from spazza. As if dermi would have let a teammate get a wack in rhe head and not remonstrate.

    What the hell was dermie rabbiting on about with everything? 

    I always find Dermott's comments to be a really good example of highly articulate sophistry ultimately tending towards meaninglessness.

    When our players tackle like this we tend to win. Back when Cameron Bruce wore the 32 we had a season as the number one tackling side in the league. I believe it may have been the year Troy Broadbridge passed away.

    Talking of injuries. We have destroyed the Giants season. Dangerfield out this week and Rohan. Prestia injured and Jack Gunston. We should go hard at the next 3 games.

    Yes, he made me cry with his childish delight.  Did you see him jump up and down on the spot with glee when Gawn took that pack mark?  And the commentators sure did call his name a lot.  Hit top form at the right time of the year.

    And I think the minerals in the WA water is turning his hair curly.

    Go Yung Sparra.

    How's the shephard from Sparrow?

     

    Sparrow really goes into the opposition with courage, intent and fine recovery. He is becoming a most reliable team member who accepts the 'unpleasant' and 'dangerous' roles as part of the game, as part of his contribution to the team, as part of his repertoire of skilful acts. I like the boy! Carna Dees.

    Sparrow is going to be a serious player IMO. His toughness, intent and ability overhead are some excellent traits and he has two of the best midfielders in the comp to learn from.

    • 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?
