I think in a perfect world Bowey & Laurie would be putting pressure on for spots ahead of guys like Sparrow & Melksham, but maybe unlikely as they didn't get to play last year. 

I'll give it a go

Jetta        May        Lever

Rivers  Tomlinson  Salem

Brayshaw  Oliver    Langdon

Pickett     TMac      ANB

Fritsch     Brown   Spargo

Gawn    Petracca   Viney

Hunt  Jordon  Melksham Jackson 

 

Em: Weid Harmes Sparrow  Hibberd

 

A lot of tough calls to be made - most likely we will have a few injuries along the way so the depth will be needed.  If Petty comes in for May, it will be interesting if he comes in and we don't miss a beat down back (which I think is possible - I rate Petty).

TMac deserves to be in the side on form - at the start of the season I would have had Weid there.  Can TMac play the wing as he trained for over summer?  If so, where does Brayshaw go?  Back?   But who of the back 7 go out?  And is Brown, Weid, Jacko, Tmac too tall in a team with Gawn and Fritsch (plus the key defenders)?

Amazing to think that the likes of Harmes and Hibberd aren't in my best 22 - although if they manage to break into the side through the season I think there's a good chance they'll stay in.

We seem to be in great shape with options to fill every position - would love to see the draftees get a taste but it's going to be tough to get them in if the team keeps playing how they are.  I guess having them develop at Casey is not the worst thing!

Largely agree, although l would swap Hibberd for Jetta, and maybe Petty for Jordon, although let’s see how he goes when he replaces May for the next 3-4 weeks. Overall a pretty good inform side.
 

I’m also predicting Jackson is going to have a breakout game during the next couple of months, similar to the one Max had at Kardinia Park,l think in 2013, when he announced himself to the world when he marked everything, and has been the premier big man in the game since. When that happens, we will become just about unbeatable!

Good choice.

Maybe for me only swapping Weid and Melk after the cats game.

Not like for like but weid is pretty athletic for his size.

Great to see Gus playing so well again.

Poor Jetta. Nothing would please me more and Im sure you to see him come back like Tmac.

Has been one of the clubs best players.

I think Melksham is a better player than Jordon and Hibberd is a better player than Jetta, but Jordon and Jetta are holding thier spots so good luck to them.

no, he's not the present nor the future of this football club, tbh i'm not seeing what everyone else is so far this year but maybe i watch him too closely looking for his mistakes but given the fact he's on 700k and GCS current shortage of depth forwards im hoping we can ship off the best part of 500 of that - they get an upgrade on Day/Burgess/corbett to support Bking and we get him off our books with one of majak/mbrown to continue in the depth role going forward with LJ and then bradtke/andrews developing behind the current first choice duo

  • 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?
