It sounds like someone's mail here is off?

FWIW, if Joel Smith is on the plane...I'm not impressed.

we must be desperate

Bit harsh on the calls to drop Hunt. When the game was in the balance he was trying to lift us. He got done holding the ball twice. One of them was a joke where he had no prior opportunity and th

Hibbo kept Toby to 7 possies and 3 goals, 2 of which were umpire gifts and the other one was froma smother and then good handball from a team mate, which was unstoppable. Yes Hibbo didn't get muc

I stress this is only ***speculation*** But rumours are emerging of Petracca being an out due to planking related exhaustion

If May, Lever or Petty pull up sore in the warm up and can't play then we need cover in the emergencies.  M.Brown, Tomlinson and Hore are all injured and Bradtke is playing CHB for Casey.  It makes sense to take Smith as one of four emergencies - the only other feasible options would be Majak and he's been rucking or Weid and move TMac back but that's out there too.

So Smith, Daw or Weid - take your pick ...

If May, Lever or Petty pull up sore in the warm up and can't play and we didn't take cover in the emergencies there would be uproar here!

Unless there's been a change in the last couple of hours, Vanders is not going to Adelaide.

I agree with almost all of your opinions but not this. Is Petty markedly better? Joel is great with lock down. It frees up Lever.

Joel Smith is terrible, I don't know why he is still on the list.

He is not that good.

Must agree. There were some impassable fullbacks in those days - far more than now!

Is it possible to lose this game but feel we're back on the right track? 

What if we lose 90 - 80 in a see-sawing game with the home town crowd getting them over the line? What if our clearance work and scoring improve significantly in a high scoring loss?

It would be nice to read a post match thread after a loss, that isn't world ending like the others this year.

Good luck, there has been some "world ending" in threads for matches we won!!!

Joel Smith is on the plane to ADL - Interesting 

Joel should play forward - if he has the opportunity. The backline is relatively fine and still borders on 'fabulous'.

Petty could be let loose on the fwd line at some stage, as well. The two could swapsie-tango as both can mark, intercept, spoil, shepherd, kick, run to space, lead out, kick well and true.

Then again, I may be the only person who thinks so ... perhaps it is something that I should keep to myself, in hindsight.

Go on, abuse me!

I really don't like the use of Joel Smith as a defender ,seem to get injured a lot as a defender (perhaps it is only an assumption).

Perhaps Petty will play forward and J.S will play defence.  Hopefully Vanders comes in for Sparrow or Viney or Brayshaw. 

Must make 3-5 changes as a wake up call to the rest.

Bluddoath.

I have been saying this for years, Joel Smith is a forward!!! Before agravating a Groin injury during a firsts practice match a few years ago he led marked everything and kicked 4 goals. I thought then , as I still do to this day he is a forward!!

I'm sure it's been mentioned in the previous 19 pages but when do teams get announced?

I would say usual time but tonight instead of tomorrow. 
Some big inclusions for Port because of course ?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
