I'm overseas and can't watch.  What was the goss

Nothing too exciting. Salem out just due to soreness.

 

C’mon Bowey, give the selectors a headache coming into finals.

    Groin soreness a week from finals isn’t ideal. Salem has had a year to forget.

    The Bowey selection is interesting purely that he's coming off a 5 day break and got some pretty big hits at Casey last week.

    Looking forward to watching him play though.

    Leprechaun luck comes back.

    Goody knows how important Salem is in finals. Check Q1 GF. He is our most composed player bar none.  No risk taken as a quality kid ready. 
    good call

    Is Max OK?

    Bowie for Salem I can handle but if Max is out I might as well start drinking now.

    My info is that Max is struggling with a knee injury and may be a very late, late out.

    Bye next week


    Hearing Fagan talk pre game it seems they've gone to absolute town on our game plan.

    Stated that they have reviewed games from this year and last year to see what the issue is.

    Was confident pre game, now not so much..

    JJ isn’t a bad sub option. He can play wing mid half forward or half back. And he’s definitely closest to our 22.

    Is this game scheduled for 7.50 because

    Qland is still living in the last century and refuse to have daylight savings time?

    I feel sick 🤮

    First time since last year’s finals that I feel genuinely sick with nerves about a game. 
    Things matter again. I don’t like it.

    I hope Tracca steps up tonight. He's been OK but he's not playing at his best.

    And it seemed he was given that much time in the middle last week.

    I think we can and will win but as nervous as anything, the Pinot is not helping might have to move onto the Shiraz and see if that helps.

    With the whole fam in Covid ISO, it feels eerily similar to the final round 2021.
    I'm hoping for something a little less traumatic on the heart. Go Dees. Go big time.

    • 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?
