Was Harmes training? Just interested to see that he's not even on the emergency list this week?

I did not see Harme's at either session.

    Someone here earlier this week posted Harmes was sick kev, can’t remember the poster’s name. Could explain his absence.

    Joel Smith dominating up forward, after about 9 years at the club, would have to be more than a dream.

    We'll see. 

    I'm pretty confident he's get his chance. 

    And sooner rather than later.

    In teh absence of BBB and TMac knocking the door down for selection, J Smith is a good athlete and has good strength. Allows us to use Petty down back.

    Only ? will be his footy smarts at the forward and not letting his man work off him.

    Well 4 he hasn’t.

    Not saying he couldn’t fill in, but the suggestion was “ dominate “.

    I guess whenever he (Joel Smith) has been able to play he has spent most of his time in defence, so his defensive skills should serve us well if he were a forward.

    Joel Smith will likely get his chance in the coming weeks. He better grab it with both hands and not break his thumb in the process

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      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?
