    No surprises is a bit of a surprise...

    May and Hibberd looked tender and Chandler ??

    So much for managing the quick turnaround

    Hi DJ. As much as that concerns me my response related to the inclusion of No.19 up front. I guess their best defender goes to JVR then?

    That line up is a joke. Only a few named were in their real positions. 

    That's the whole point - Goody's having a joke with us. He does this so 'Landers go insane. Laugh along I say. He's probably watching on laughing with the way he's #%&*!#@ with our brains. It's his secret weekly indulgence.

    I was hoping that Daniel Turner would have got a run in the backline, really surprised that Hibbo got up he looked in a bit of trouble late in the game skying kicks. He is a tough customer.!!

    I recon Hibbo perpetually looks in a state of trouble. Love him.

    Lever was calling out a nickname to Schache.

    "Weasel",  I was taken a back.

    Perhaps he has weaseled his way into the team, or his bonding with deep and meaningful discussions.

    The selection mirrors the kind of week on DL.

    I resemble that remark!

    I was hoping some of the old codgers would be managed this week with the short turnaround - May and Hibberd. Similarly, I hope the mids are rotated out of the centre a little more for Kozzie, JJ and Sparrow.

    Of course we won't take Norf lightly!

    I smell some late outs.

    Just something in the air.

    Didn't Rivers have a knock as well? Maybe just cramp 

    Yeah, just cramp.  Was stretching it out for a while before he totally missed that kick and was subbed immediately after.

    They’ll look to stretch us for height, especially after the Essendon approach last week.

    typically we’d just run all over them but with the short break and injuries to some of our smalls, there is more risk in this game than I’m comfortable with.

    Maybe Fritter at centre half back is a thing.

    A few posters have expressed doubts and concerns about the game against Norf.

    I don't get it! 

    We will [censored] on Norf from a great height!

    I don’t agree. We are in very mediocre form and bottom sides come out with great intent against us while we often come out napping. 
    5 day break on top of that and this could end in tears.

    I’m not outraged. I just think it’s stupid. 

    Less stupid or more stupid than telling the opposition exactly how we're going to line up?

    Correct Jaded, I expect they will come out hard. They may well hang around until half time .... but after that ....

    I just realised it. The Deez media division ^%&*@#-!p the media release. They reversed the lines. Should have read:

    B: J Jordon, J.van Rooyen, J.McVee

    HB: J.Viney, J.Schache, M.Hibberd

    C: E.Langdon, C.Oliver, T.Sparrow

    HF: A.Brayshaw, B.Fritsch, T.Rivers

    F: J.Bowey, S.May, J.Lever

    Makes much more sense this way.

    • 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?
