Daw did not look fit or like he was saving something for after the game. Bedford is knocking on the door for 1st selection. Weids is a sure thing against Richmond. Brown needs another week. Jetta needs to wait and see how our backline in the ones goes to regain selection.

    Thanks for all the reports. Great to have so many players pushing for senior selection but I hope we are cautious bringing them through. There has always been a big difference VFL to AFL but given the non-season last year for VFL, that gulf is bigger than ever.

    Was impressed with what I saw by Deakin Smith too, very lively down back.

    I thought Daw's ruck work was solid all game.

    He was very ordinary all day I thought. On form weid a must with bedford next in line. Brown/chandler also staked their claim but not sure how we could fit them in at the moment.

    He did not dominate in any way,

    and if he gets a game in the ones it would surprise me. 
     

    does Casey nominate the days best 

    I thought bowey, rosman, Bedford, Weid and brown and number 68. Gray ? 
    Bradke and VdB and chandler and I apologise for others all better

    Lockhart and Deakyn Smith were fantastic. Bowey found a good amount of the ball but was a tad sloppy. He will be a player though.

    We have some nice replacements options coming through for the aging Hibbo and Jetta.

    Thanks for the reports guys.

     

    For those that watched it what positions did Weid and BBB play.  Did Weid play full forward (out of the goal square) or did they change it up.

    TMac seems to be playing further up the ground so it probably makes sense if Weid play close to goal if he comes in.

    Mainly BB playing the deeper role.

    Weid got most from heavily contested positions.

    Great games but remember the opposition played their best but many not in the same league.

    That being said you couldn't ask much more of either of them.

    Majak may become my favourite VFL player

    Best result apart from the Demons would have to be Carlton losing at home by 1 point to Southport after leading all day.

    I watch some of the game and I was more impressed with Deakyn Smith than Bowey.

    He may be the small defender like Neville Jetta was 3 years ago.

    • 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?
