Out: Hunt, Browns, 

In: May, anyone who can kick to another demon.

 

Out forward structure dumb long bombs and any coach that thinks that’s a good plan.

We will lose to the filth. Moore and Howe will mark everything.

    Injured, having surgery and will miss the rest of the season I believe, Nasher.

    Maybe trying to play the same 22 every week isn’t a good idea as players get tired?

    May in for Tomlinson, B. Brown should come out but no idea who for.

    Ben Brown has to go. Who for I have no idea but he is to slow and cumbersome. Would also look closely at Picket and Spargo. No influence at all on the game. When they actually win the ball they just turn it over, Hunt also needs to go for Hibberd. Thank goodness we had Gawn and Gus as they were about only guys that won their contests and had a go.

    Tomlinson too! Bring in Weed for BB logic is Ben is badly out of touch, Dan Turner to debut for Tomlinson , May for M Brown (He's a tall HHF not KPD) & Hibberb for Hunt that speechie he went for when he was one on one has lost me.

    Out: Tomlinson, Hunt, B. Brown

    In: May, Daw, Hibberd

    Lucky to get another game: Spargo, ANB, Bowey, Sparrow.

    Me too, will be a long time before i can trust him in defence again. Cant believe I'm saying this, but i can't wait for Joel Smith to return.

    The forward line is a shambles, we got away with it last year but the game moves on, all they do is bomb it in BB is not a pack mark player but we still do it, players are so structured they kick down the line without looking to see if it can be switched to open it up, players not manning up and allowing to many short kicks which sets up players down the ground.

    Teams are chasing us down we need to change things up to get back on track.

    Not Weid please.

    Try Pettybor Tomlinson up there before him.

    The bye can't come quick enough, a lot of players out of form.

    In: Weideman, May

    Out: B. Brown, Tomlinson

    Sparrow has been poor for a while but don't think we have an ideal replacement for him. Don't think Weideman is the answer either but BB can't stay in the team with his form over the past month. With McDonalds ankle rumoured to be cactus, we are quickly running out of key forward options.

    We have no key forward in any kind of form. I sya we try Petty inside 50 and leave Thommo in

    And give Hibberd a run if he's fit (i don't know if he is)

    Out: Hunt and Brown (not sure whether Mitch or Ben, its a toss up)

    In: Hibberd and MAy

    Steven May and automatically we are 30% better. 
     

    The forward cupboard is bare.

    Enough is enough, bring Van Rooyen.

    Don't know who goes out, don't care.

    Also please stop using Hunt as full back he is clueless.

    Out: B Brown M Brown Tomlinson

    Also tempting to bring the riv back, take sparrow out and slot Gus at HF. We are desperate for classy kicking forward of centre.

    • 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?
