    Zero imagination again from Goodwin. Expect same same result. 

    Which AFL team did you coach to a premiership again?

    Might stick an episode of aircrash investigators on instead of the game, something a bit more relaxing

    Petty is a blow. Hope the final bench is jordon, rivers, weideman and dunstan with hunt as sub.

    Second time for Petty and the Vid?

    Hunt deserves back in, hopefully he makes the cut tomorrow night.

    I think Jordon needs a rest he was poor last week.

    Very Surprised that Melksham and Chandler were included! Also surprised Bedford and Spargo hold their places hopefully HUNT gets a gig??

    Weideman this surely would be "Last Chance Hotel" would much have preferred Mitch Brown! A few on shaky ground!

    Mitch Brown is not a KPD, he isn't physical enough and goes missing. Feel sorry for Laurie.

    Time for big games from Sparrow and Jordon

    Sparrow maybe but Jordon has been one of our most consistent, racking up 20+ possessions on the wing which is elite.

    Port stronger and us much weaker with the changes.

    Will need a big effort.

    Covid going to cause a lot of havoc over the next couple of months. Hope our players are smart about socialising from here on out. Might cost us top 4 or themselves a spot in the team around finals time.

    what did you expect him to do exactly? Clarry injured, Petty out with covid and Bowey has been struggling for a while so needed the break. Personally i would have brought in JVR but perhaps a game in NT against a resurgent Port is not the best time to give him his debut.

    • 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?
