Tonight will be a night to have Vanders ready to pounce, steamroll, screen, shepherd, anihilate, flatten, tag, catch, frighten, intimidate, display mongrel, incapacitate, behead and generally straighten out a few bends in a road puddled with a few atmospheric discharges and white, read and blue bodies.

Harmes must play, yes. So why is Viney? Vanders would do twice the job.

 

Viney will lift tonight. Vanders unlucky.

 

And some tv boffin producer at seven decided nsw want to watch the olympics. Sheesh.

Sold Chad a refrigerator once while I was living on the Sunny Coast.  Very friendly guy.

One night in about 1978 I was awoken late at night by a loud crash.

Chad, in a state of extremely advanced relaxation (munted) after a gig, had driven his car straight into the brick front fence of a house a couple of doors away!

    Is that where scrubby creek is?

    Um, yes actually.

    Just outside of Gympie at the north end of the Sunshine Coast.

     

     

    I think Chad flossed his teeth with a garden rake.

    Schache a strange selection. Has played 3 games since 2019, averaging 6 disposals.

    Furthermore, their back six is not overly tall - only two 'talls' - Keath (197) and Cordy (193).

    If  Max or LJ stray forward the Dogs will struggle to find a match.

    As another poster suggested I reckon he was brought in so English can spend time fwd. our backline would struggle with English the others


    Reckon they’re hoping for a WCE effort from us in the wet tonight. Surely we’re not gonna put up an effort like that

    Waiting for this game to start brings the same anxiety as waiting for the daily Victorian Covid update.

    Gus did say back at the G the last time we played in the wet - that 'we' were licking our lips...

    I hope this is accurate, and they want to get down and dirty.

    It's no september football by any means, but it helps us.

    As Bevo has made some changes, I hope Goody has also got something up his sleeve. I'd love to remind the Doggies, and everyone else that we're still top dog here (despite being young and misbehaving from time to time, requiring a little bop on the nose with the newspaper).

    We are currently 3rd in the line of betting for the flag at 5.50

    Lets see if that changes after this match

    • 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?
