Exactly what they said about Einstein, Jagger and Zuckerburg. So the kid is obviously no chance. 

What were their kicking skills like?

    James Harmes toured the Hangar, would be a real shame to see him leave too. Weird feeling having a few players leaving/touring other facilities.

    So GWS lose another quality player and possibly Hopper as well. Between that and what’s going on at North I’m not sure how anyone can think 19 teams is sustainable in this competition.

    What's this palava about Harmes touring other facilities.

    Sigh... rookie listed, Demons supporter, lived out his dream for the club of his boyhood dreams... don't tell me it's over! 😔

    GWS lose Taranto, Hopper and Bruhn and their midfield is now down to Green, Coniglio, Kelly, Whitfield, Ash, Perryman, Callaghan, Ward plus Stone and Angwin as developing players and draft picks. 

    They'll be fine, they can now stock up on forwards and backs which need work.

    19's a stretch for sure. I'd love to see 16, but the bigger issue is spreading the talent around.

    He probably took a wrong turn on the way to URBNSURF and stopped there to get directions.

    Interesting tid bits.

    - Kozzie talk is crazy.

    - Others keener on Corbett than us

    - We'd help facilitate a trade for Tomlinson

    - Won't be drawn on specifics of Grundy or Jackson trades

    When he said about the coaches being creative with what’s on our list for our forward line I interpreted that as 2 words.

    Jagger used to get his kicks on Route 66, but his strength was his marking.  He had Sticky Fingers.

    This came up on my FB page. We are dealing with the club that has the lowest to offer us for LJ. Where as WC have so much more in draft capital.

    freo have so much to come in they'll be able to do a bundle job elsewhere and get the picks necessary, nothing to etress about yet theres no way the deal doesnt get done eventually

    How bloody impressive is Tim Lamb? Seems like someone who doesn't suffer fools, but is fair and reasonable too.

    pete ryan tweeting riley bonner could be available, yes hes worse than bowes and a bit of a squad player but given hunt's exit (and i spent 20 minutes comparing them on the afl website statistically bonner is 2x the player hunt is) could be a handy player off hb as a kicker even tho he has no inside game, 3yr deal pretty average 300k coin low risk high reward? thoughts?

    You may be right but Petty has formed part of such a good defensive unit we mat be robbing peter to pay paul.

    Any chance Turner might get a run in the forwards during pre-season?

    We are creating a lot of cap space if we are also talking about moving Tommo on. Just can’t see how we plan to use it this year. Unless we are in the process of bringing in a big name KPF or perhaps Bowes ?

    I didn't. I read it as we'll change up our mix a bit. Given what we know RE Grundy, it's likely we'll be anchoring the forwardline around Max and from there, we can get more creative.

    Clearly happy for Hunt to move on and disappointed in Bedford requesting a trade. 

    Weideman won't be traded which makes sense as we need a back up ruck/forward option.

    Loved the comment about "there's first round picks and there's first round picks." Rammed home the message Jackson is a generational talent which gives me confidence that we will come away from this trade with at least 1 x top 10 pick. How that happens remains to be seen.

    Don’t want to Paint it Black but he is clearly running Out of Time. So to Start Me Up, he may need Mother’s Little Helpers. Which given the league’s stance on recreational and performance drugs would leave him Shattered. But in the end  It’s Only Rock ‘n Roll (But l Like it) !

    • 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?
