Judging from the comments I have read today it appears that Turner should get a go in front of Tommo

    I doubt we will see Tomlinson in the firsts again. Or TMac

    the up and coming on ball brigade are struggling but our obsession with boundary line play makes it tough when it comes to forward delivery.

    Should have won but it wouldn't mean much

    Yep, I think that will be the case from now on.

    One thing I would agree with the commentary on today.

    Tommy looks like he's running in treacle.

    It was a bad day for most. No need to stick the boots in, and write anyone off. We will need 3-4 of those guys to gain confidence and play a roll if we are going to go deep in 2023.

    So you think it was a good game then, and there was no negatives or do only look at the good points?

    We really missed those hard bodied and experienced VFL players, Munro, Buntine, and Baldi.

    Wow, BBB not taking his opportunity from straight out infront, though not the only one.

    We have a few AFL listed players who will have to lift/develop their game, if they want to be AFL standard. Jefferson, Adams, AMW, D.Smith, Farris-White. 

    Some terrible field kicking and missed opportunities killed us.

    Nearly stole it.

    Why were Buntine & Baldi left out?

    The Araldite (White + Munro) back will make a big diff next week.

    He was somewhere between solid & good - nowhere near outstanding.

    I thought D.Turner turned the game and momentum, by those intercepts in the third. Played a good game in a dysfunctional backline. They couldn't zone well as they let the opponents get to the ball first and very few attacking moves that came off, (couldn't find a corridor).

    Tomlinson needs some confidence, his leadership and structural set up down back appeared to suffer, as well as his poor decision making, slipping over and switching off. He usually dominates and supports D.Turner very well at this level.

    I always look at the bright side. It’s one of the reasons everybody loves me (the other 2 reasons are that I’m drop dead gorgeous, and that I’m very humble).

    Should we recruit Bell as a back up ruckman ?

    Played a good 1st half, and I thought the same thing, but left in the second. Consistency is needed, especially at the level he is playing.

    Give it a [censored] rest, will you. If there’s more than one way to say something, without exception you’ll choose the most belligerent, abrasive way of saying it. It’s unpleasant and unnecessary.

    So I gather, seeing you did not answer the question you're not sure either? also I tell it the way I see it if you don't like that block me it's simple not going to bother me.

    I love you for that first reason, which is good since I think you’re full of [censored] re the other reasons. 😁

    Yeah true. But in my defence it’s very hard to be humble when you look this good.

    Agree, and it also showed why we can't play both in the same team at senior level.

    • 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?
