I'm picturing Viney sitting in a cage, gnawing his teeth right now

I pity the Collingwood players that come anywhere near him on QB

UNLEASH JACK!

    I believe it’s just one of their primitive habits. They’d otherwise pick their teeth, but for that you need more than one.

    Melksham had surgery on his hand re fight so he's out. We can't go in with tomlinson Petty and lever and no other tall if one goes down. If we're going short in the forward line then that's fine but who will go back if Petty struggles or doesn't come up? Hibbard is a completely different player imv. Great on a mid sized forward but wouldnt cope with a tall. Turner would have to be in for a chance. I've only seen him play once but he looked good. Was intercepting really well in vfl. Depends how the pies line up I guess.

    Interesting that Max in his press conference dropped the name Daniel Turner. Early selection news perhaps

    If Petty doesn't get up - almost a lock I'd say

    Just bought some GA tickets for QB.


    10 minutes later I got an email saying QB is a replacement game and memberships get us in!

    bah!

    Well, that isn't very exciting🙄. 

    I thought you had a new name to give us.

    he looked ok in the vfl last week. Kicking looked to have improved

     

    I'd like our midfield to stop wrestling with their opponents and focus on getting the pill

    One of the things that we haven't tried/reverted to and I really question as to why.. Kozzie applies great pressure in the forward line and when we're getting beaten around the ball, how come we haven't put him there?

    Hopefully what you've said is true and we see him in there.

    Sportsbet ... filth odds were $4.00, dropped to $3.50 now $2.79. I think it will shorten further as their supporters put money in.

    I got on the filth at $4. Ridiculous odds.

    I think the match committee should consider playing Mitch Brown as a KPD.

    Was more than serviceable as a defender during his time at Essendon, in particular during the replacement player period.

    If Petty doesn't get up, I'd be putting Mitch Brown as a KPD and Weideman to come in as 2nd KPF.

    Turner isn't ready IMO.

    I was thinking the same thing, though I don’t know enough about Turner. Throwing a debutant into a Queens Birthday clash is fraught with danger, particularly given our history.

    Have you watched any Casey games? Turner has actually marked the ball and spoiled as well if not better than Tomlinson imo

    Is he ready for a QB debut ? - big call and you would need to be sure there is a fair match up for him - but he is closer to being ready than most give him credit for

    Good point but Turner is way ahead of where young JW was if you ask me

    • 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?
