    No change for me.

    But I can see why Bowey could be a potential omission for Rivers is need.

    Out BBB continued his woeful form.  Got outmarked again & again. In Tomlinson. Has to be an improvement.

    C’mon man. They’re still not kicking to his advantage. They continue to kick it on top of his head.

    Can’t see any changes.  
    Was very worried about JV7 when he went down though - thought he was concussed but clearly not.

    The 5 day break in to the Geelong game should be the main factor when evaluating changes.

    There’s at least an argument for Hibberd and/or Bowey and Bedford coming out this week with a guarantee of coming back the next week. Maybe even Sparrow as well. Or Ben Brown if we want to be really cautious.

    Although the more likely thing is they play and we see how everyone is going in a weeks time.

    I think it will be “No Change”

    Only change possible is   “in. Rivers   Out. Bowey” (he was pushed aside, overran it several times and didn’t look composed with the footy as he did in rounds 1-4. )

    its amazing what winning games of footy does. Lose today and Gawn foot turns out to be  more of a 6-8 week injury.

    Out: Bowey

    In: Hunt or Rivers

    Time to play smart and think of this as two games. Adelaide and Geelong

    Rest Petracca perhaps. Bowey?

    I do think we wasted an opportunity with the North and Eagles game to strategically manage players

    Need a tall forward, that’s clear.

    Bowey is really struggling at the moment. Rivers might be a better option.

    +1 Rivers for Bowey, more in honour  of how Riv has been playing in the 2’s. Bowey can freshen up.

    • 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?
