You know here to stick it D.

Was that meant to be "how" or "where", Froggy?

    What you write about the use of rite is quite right.

    No apology required.  I was just being my usual pedantic smart alec.

    I have a reputation to live down to, you know.  :D

    Lord of the Flies? Culture can’t of being that bad at Whitten Oval. Surely! Bevo’s little experiment did go awry.

    Whoever was talking about our forward line needing a player to provide on field coaching / direction (like May in backline) in another thread, you were spot on!  Tim Lamb says Hunter could provide that for us

    I see big upside with this trade. Fills a hole on many levels. I hope Lachie gets back to some of his good footy he produced at the Bulldogs 

    structurally he provides a lot to our midfield

    I think Tim was just taking about his kicking into the forward line and connecting between midfield and forward lines. Not leadership.

    The Rat pack of Libba and Hunter is likely what Dunkley was sick of. He alluded to behavioural issues for several years

    Fingers crossed he has had a wake up call.

    Dunkley said it was culture, but the cash on offer from dogs was laughable. He was more than happy to go.

    I don't think a formal leadership role in any way but he does literally call Hunter an "on field coach"...!

    At  least he looks happy maybe getting away from the WB pressure cooker will help him play his best football again.

    Surronded by multiple AA players and near AA players whilst at the WB he was expected to carry more of the responsibility of leadership.

    I had to look twice. It looked like Mitch Hannan for a sec

    I've often thought that, he's a much better player than Mitch though.

    I've watched most of the Bullies/Swans match earlier this year and he played a very good game, 19 possessions to half time and hardly, if at all, wasted a possession. He kicked two deliveries in the first half that directly resulted in two marks and two goals.

    He's got a lot of talent and will be a great pick up for us, if he puts his mind to 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?

    • 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?
