For those wondering this article says that Lycett trained in their captain's run today but Teakle didn't, therefore suggesting Lycett is going to be brought back to replace Teakle as their ruck.

It also says Dixon trained but wasn't moving freely.

According to SA sources much about Dixon playing  is piffle waffle.... He needs to pass a fitness test...as late as Friday.

It's suspected he won't.  I hope he plays ;) 

Looks like tmac

yep

Not my choice but if you think of Petty as the up the ground forward it makes sense.

I hope the big dinosaurs in Dixon and Lycett play.  They are underdone and it could be wet.  May and our rucks should run off them and expose them

Taking the absolute [censored]. 
Can he play forward once Salem return?

I know we have 8000 players fighting for a half forward role, but come on!

 

Woo hoo, Go Salo. 


Wow... Salo sounded very confident he was on track & ready arround three / four weeks ago and the window opened!

Was expecting at least 1 week at Casey but there you go.

Dixon is more likely than unlikely to be playing according to Hinkley.

 

I got this wrong but good news nonetheless.

Now just need Dunstan back to his best to assist Viney in the center with extractions (and from that clearances).

Not sure who he'd replace though.  Maybe JJ for a block of matches.

Great to see Salem back. Fingers crossed he can stay fit for the rest of the year.


A big surprise with Salo. I hope the club isn’t rushing him back. They did last year and his season really suffered. 

Thrilled with no Dixon. He’s a monster and he always troubles us.

Don't think they will play Viney and Dunstan in the same team, Dunstan depth only.

Exactly. I don’t know why people don’t understand what Dunstan is.

Looks like Brayshaw will play midfield. 

I thought the same thing. With McVee, Salem and Bowey back Gus has to go into the middle - probably to play Sparrows role this week.

Club must be happy with Woewodin.

I’d be happybwith him if he didn’t try to take on the opposition every time he gets it.

  • 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.

    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?
