Drawing a blank, being a Monday game do they announce the extended squads tonight or tomorrow?

They'll name extended squards tonight with full team to be announced Saturday afternoon

    Thinking Turner will be named on the extended bench.

    Any chance we can do a Geelong this week and beat a mid range team with multiple best 22 players out in addition to losing a gun defender mid game, without its defensive structure falling to pieces, and produce a character building win?

    Yes they'll want to give Petty maximum time to recover

    Bloody oath. 

    We should be winning this game based on desire, talent, system and purely that we are further advanced than them

    Great sides who have won premierships over the years have always been able to win games with key players out. The last two weeks have been understandable because of who we've played. 

    But seriously, if we don't win on Monday I will be genuinely disappointed and slightly concerned about our second half to the year. 

    We also owe these flogs who caused a huge upset against us last year. And they were missing a handful of their top 10 players and still beat us. 

    It sometimes comes down to big club vs small club mentality. 

    We better respond. Especially after the week in the media we've had. I expect a galvanised group who are committed to the cause for four quarters. And I expect to win.

    I think he has a future but no way he is ready for QB 

    From my observation he has been useful in 3-4 games and good in one but that was North who are very poor. I seriously doubt he will be promoted any time soon.

    Its mind games. he will play. 

    Not really any point, they will name him anyway and if he plays we'll have prepared for him.

    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!

    Jack's impact has improved, too. If ever there was a Demon capable and willing to create havoc with the Filth, it would be Jack. I wonder who his key targets will be?

    with a 8 day break I think Petty will play but definately need Hibberd as Petty is liable to go off for long periods.  That's what happened in the 2nd quarter when we were a tall/bulky player short.

    now that it looks like Miocheck is out and Elliott is in.  Hibbo is a must.

    Elliot is too strong and too good one on one for hunt i reckon.

    Hibbo would be the match up for Elliot - can match him for strength and is excellent one on one.

    I'd go Hiiberd in, and plays on Elliot. And Hunt goes to Ginnivan.

    Mihocek is a very good player and underestimated by many.  He's no Kingsley.

    Mihocek = McDonald 

    Vastly underrated player

    Those who rate Mihocek and those who don't can all agree with this comparison. Those who rate him can assume he's like Tom and those that don't can think he's like Oscar.

    Personally, I think he's a very good player and would be even better if he had some good tall forwards around him.

    Hunt shouldn't play give the job to Rivers or Salem.

    • 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?
