I didn’t quite get where it came from, they just mentioned it.

This news has a bad whiff about it.


Brilliant strategy of trading in 2 players who are coming off long term injuries. If Bruce is only on our books for 1 year, then a straight swap for Tomlinson is ok. But if we extend his contract then we've lost the plot. 

Bring back Josh Mahoney.

Pinch hitter with presumably salary benefits if it’s a Tomlinson swap. 
Giant no deal if there is a salary impost back to Bulldogs.

Was even an option?

Feel like it was fairytale stuff..

 

Contrary to others this could be a master stroke. He like Tommo needs time and training to get over the ACL. Upside if he does snd good kick to Tommo with the ups and downs of Bevo.

If Bruce doesn't go well up forward  could play CHB maybe.  
 

Interesting to see if any payment for 2 years of Tommo contact of $500,000. 

Something out of nothing !! 

Sounds like we will get that big fish KPF afterall

Josh Bruce and Ben Brown are the last 2 players to kick 10 goals in a game. 😉

Both have knee issues!

Our fwd line might need to trade in some of those walking frames from the Cats' mad Monday too.

Fills a need at Casey with Mitch Brown retiring. 

That is what I was thinking if fit he could fill a role for us, seemed to kick a few goals for Saints and Dogs, 197cm, 97kg averages 1.5 goals perfect replacement for Mitch and has a bit of mongrel in him.

Didn't hear it myself, but pretty sure it came from a caller and Cal Twomey said something along the lines of 'have heard it, haven't been able to confirm it'.

Of course Josh Bruce could be on a  'pathfinder' mission for Naughton.

 

 

 


I have it on good authority that on top of the medical he was asked to answer a multiple choice question.

I'm pleased to inform D'landers that my sauce (whose identity i am unfortunately not at liberty to reveal) gave me exclusive access to the question asked which i present for your reading pleasure below...

 

...."You are playing a KF role starting deep in the goal square.  However, Big Maxy has decided to push forward and drop into the hole at the top of the square.  You recognise the situation (ie; too many talls/opponents).  You are also under instruction to make space for Max to be able to either make a short lead or if he has a mis-match, for him to stay home in the square for a relatively easy contested 1 v 1 mark from a dumped bomb out of the middle.

Do you"...

A)  Lead hard to the left pocket/flank (along with 1 or 2 others, including Max!) knowing you have about a 1 in 5 chance of converting should you out mark a pack of 5 to 7 players?

B)  Lead straight up the guts drawing your opponent to about 30 meters, feign as if doubling back but instead push off your opponent putting in a hard but short lead for a hit up option knowing you have a very high likelihood of converting from about 45 out either directly in front or on a slight angle?

C)  Lead hard to the right pocket/flank (along with 1 or 2 others, including Max!) knowing you have about a 1 in 5 chance of converting should you out mark a pack of 5 to 7 players?

Apparently he chose the only correct options (A & C) and they are finalising the trade papers as we speak.

  • 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?
