    Casey game tomorrow is important. If Harmes plays well, he is in.  Laurie? Howes? 

    Howes and Turner are both competing for the 3rd tall defender if Petty goes forward and we want a Hibbo replacement. Turner more ready for that job. But would love to see Howes start to demand a go.

    We’re yet to give JJ a second full game, I don’t see Harmes or Laurie jumping him. Unless Laurie is just blistering and they want him in Spargo’s role.

    Schache a small chance if they want to keep Petty back. 

    Moniz-Wakefield? I’d love to see it

    Tigers main ruckman is out so TMac may not be essential. BBB back in his place

    Lever for Tomlinson

    Hibberd for Bowey perhaps

    Laurie for Spargo

    Not panicking yet but we need to beat Richmond

    Hard to see another poor performance like this next week.. but certainly some players need to go out. Petty back forward- created a contest late.

     

    In- Lever, Hibberd, Brown.

    Out- Spargo, McDonald and Tomlinson.

    Bowey to play Spargos role. He was putrid tonight Bowser.

    If we loose to the tigers, I'm going to be feeling worst than Neeld era

    Really??? So if we are 3-3 six games in to the season, you're going to feel worse than when we were close to a laughing stock?

    I find that difficult to believe.

    Are you trying to get him killed  Fence ?

     

    JVR with a mature body and a full year of preparation is struggling at AFL level. 

    Jeffo, for all his promise, is so spindly that his body can't even hold his head up straight

    If fit, Brown Lever and Gawn are  must ins.

    If someone tears it up at Casey he plays on  Monday week. Someone has to be punished and omitted.

    No problem making 3 or 4 changes. Clubs do it all the time.

    No pedestrians.

    Rob Flowers Dad Al was dead against him playing as a 17year old and had to be CONVINCED by Noel Mc Mahon that he should play, But his father said no for the reasons you allude to!! His dad relented and The rest was HISTORY

    I'm not convinced Fence. Robbie was the best I've seen in red and blue. And he played on the wing.  Not key forward getting smashed under packs by large,  nasty defenders and ruckmen dropping back. 

     

    Don't think you're comparing apples with apples here.  Let the kid develop

    SEN suggesting Bolton may get suspended. Looks unlikely to me.

    At the very least we need BBB and Lever back plus a hell of a lot of work on our brand. Dimma just given a blueprint on how to put us in a spliff by Scott if he plays talls.

    • 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?
