    Its a pretty reasonable selection, given the circumstances - CJ unfortunately has been invisible and needs more time to get his body strong enough to allow him to win his own football at senior level - We need talls to counter Mooney, Ablett, Hawkins and Ottens - so Ferguson Carroll, Holland and Wheatley are needed, you could argue we are still overmatched for defensive height and PJ comes in as Neitz replacement. Yze shouldnt have kamikazed himself after round one, where he was not in our worst 11 players, aside from the droped mark howler, and comes back into the side to provide some proven goalkicking power. IMHO Bate is lucky and Bizzell unlucky, but cause he didnt play any football last week, thats prob why he misses out. Its an ordinary team, but I can understand it...Newton is very raw and needs some more time...he will get his chance and Petterd and Buckley are pressuring Ward, Brown and Bate.

    I am happy to see PJ back!

    just remember, his season was ruined last year when he performed AN INSPIRATIONAL ACT up at the SCG on ANZAC day

    The man is a goer, Ill take him over Jamar any day

    I'm happy that PJ is in.

    I would have thought Bizzell would have been a better option than Ferguson.

    I would've chosen Bizzell over Ferguson too, but in the end they're both the same kind of misfit player -- extremely limited defenders with, at best, very dubious claims of being able to play forward.

    Did anyone see Ferguson last week? Couldn't pick up the ball to save his life. At least 2 or 3 times the ball went straight through him for opposition goals. He had a god-awful nightmare of a game and has been rewarded for it. Ridiculous. And if anyone thinks CJ was amang our worst last week they have to be kidding themselves. NO_ONE was good. WHY WAS HE SINGLED OUT?

    You're right.

    Ferguson wasn't great for Sandy last week.

    Bizzell didn't get a chance to play for Sandy because he was an emergency.

    Perhaps a little unlucky he didn't get a game for Sandy then. You sometimes see players who are emergency a couple of weeks in a row miss out when another player has good form in the 2's, but from the sounds of it Ferg didn't play well.

    • 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?
