Similarly experienced line up didn’t help us vs Richmond at Casey 2 weeks ago, but last week was a good win vs Box Hill away, so who knows?

Yeah, I feel like it's not the forward's fault exclusively. Both teams aren't delivering it that well to them at times.

Still some work to do not just to bomb it in from 60 or 70 out.

Which in a positive way, is great as both teams are near the top of the ladder and still have room to improve how they get it in to the forwards I think.

I reckon we're running at 80 percent of our potential.

 

Dunstan out is a big loss. He’s virtually BOG every week.  
 

Tmcd rested to get his body 100%.  At least we hope there is no further ongoing foot issues.  Whilst he’s not in form, having him fit for a late season cameo might be handy.  

Did T Mac fly up injured or did he sustain it up there?

Wow, looking at this picture and reading the words I can hear Don Adam's funny voice.

One of the funniest scenes from that show was when 99s mother came to live with them. She witnessed Max fighting with several enemy agents. She looked at 99 and said she had no idea the greeting card business was so tough.

Mel Brooks was just a wonderful comedy producer

I remember when 99 said to Max you are worth 2 agent 43s Max

Would not mind seeing Woewodin playing the small forward role today for a half or so to see how he goes.

Similarly play Laurie on the HBF for a while.

IMO fringe players are wise to develop in say two positions to maximise their chances of a senior game.

I wonder where we will see Joel S play today? Is he the Lever understudy or the secret weapon forward ?

Joel would make the perfect sub can play forward/back.

That Gold Coast side is strong seasoned bodies on all lines. If we are to get over the top of them, there will need to be some performances that would have the selectors excited. Personally, I hope Howes at half back shows composure and nous to take the game on. Bbb, melksham, smith; all will need to make the most of opportunity as I believe their midfield has our measure. (I rate sharp on the wing as afl quality, had freo obtained him in trade period imv our future picks wouldn’t be looking as rosy) 

Whilst it is disappointing for Dunstan to be out for an extended stretch it should allow increased midfield minutes for Laurie and Woewodin to develop their midfield  game. I hopefully we also provide opportunity for Sestan and Howes to increase their centre bounce attendances which they have done a few times this season. It’s good to have a strong Casey but the most important element is developing our future Dees.

Watching him up close at Wonthaggi last week his athleticism was amazing 

If he could stay healthy his up side is unlimited

Daniel Turner is out, replaced by Ryan Valentine - not sure if this means he’s playing in the main game.

Meanwhile, first blood to the Suns 6 - 0.

a bird's eye view with this camera angle

not bad for giving an overall view of play

Really high up and way down at one end of the ground. Reminds me of the camera angle at VFL Park.

Gold Coast have 20 listed AFL players (including 9 rookies) in that side all the way down to the bench where Josh Corbett, formerly listed AFL player is selected.  That's a strong team.

Haha!  It's almost like they've been listed simply in order of jumper numbers.

  • 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?
