Good little interview with Richo. Discusses his role and how that's been affected due to the soft cap. Also touches on how the coaches box works on game day. He highly rates Langdon and possibly even flagged our intentions with the whole Weids vs Brown scenario

    Nice one. Brownie looks like getting a game after the bye, I'd bet.

    How impressive is Richo? Fantastic.

    Sounds like Brown will get another block of games post bye, which I guess most people knew.

    Interesting to hear Yze is responsible for stoppage and ball movement, as well as "midfield", but that does make some sense.

    I like how he spoke of Harris Andrew's lack of influence and putting that down to some of the work Weid was doing.

    Edit: Just looked at Harris Andrew's stats - he took 14 marks and had a fair bit of the ball. Make of that what you will.

    I think you will find quite a bit of that happened when Weid was off the ground. Haven't had a close look but I think only 2 of those marks were contested and a lot were them switching around trying to get out.

    It was good to hear that the clubs strategic approach to the soft cap issue was going out and recruiting experience to assist Goody. You hear the names we've got at our disposal and they're as good (and experienced) as any in the competition - Richardson, Yze, Williams, Stafford, Chaplin . In contrast, I was listening to SEN yesterday and a Carlton caller asked Dwayne Russell "who's at Carlton to support Teague?". With respect to John Barker (now gone), Dale Amos, Ben Hudson, Cameron Bruce, Brent Stanton and Luke Power, we look to have them covered.

    Of course! Can you really coach via Zoom though? Isn't he more of a mentor for Teague?

    Surely that's 'support' though.

    • 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?
