Apparently they are saying that Pickett could play tomorrow even though he wasn't named emergency.

I remember Carroll came in to play his first game when he wasn't even named.. maybe that's why he was rested mainly during the second half leaving him fresh for Monday. Damn, it would be good to see Chopper playing and see him roughing up those pretty boys down there! He has that scary presence within him.

    Give it a break :wacko: . Pickett was rested for most of the second half because he was cactus for the day, not to keep him fresh for a game two days later. If Pickett were to play tomorrow he wouldn't last five minutes.

    5 minutes on, 10 off, 5 minutes on, off till the start of the next quarter!!

    simple, impact player (davey will lift 100% if byron plays as well)

    Pickett is not ready. If he was, he would have been named, plain and simple.

    He is not 100%, and will be another week or two away from coming back into thedemons squad. He is an impact player, i would hope we can bring him back when he is 100%, that way he willbuild the form that won us so many games last year.

    A 50% fit pickett is not worth playing.

    Fitness aside, his form doesn't warrant a call up just yet either.

    Personally I'm glad ND is making him earn his spot back.

    The way Pickett presented himself during the pre season was pretty average if you ask me. Let's be honest - he looks like he is 6 months pregnants. No players in this day and age can afford to come back overweight and battling to find fitness. I know he's a big bloke anyway but I have to say that I'm a quite dissapointed in Byron.

    You'd have to imagine he will get pretty hug ala Kickett once he hangs up the boots!?

    Gotta hand it to him though, he seems to do this every year, but he gets fit pretty quickly.

    I dont think he gets fit quickly but he does his job and certainly deserves the 22. Dont play him tho. Hes not right and will provide very little and may have a chance of straining his hammy again.

    • 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?
