Has everyone forgotten about Schache, he was the preferred tall not that long ago!

You are better off bringing Joel Smith to play that role. He has the height and athleticism to go with him. 

It’s an option for sure he has the defensive prowess and can work off him.

I can't believe how many people look to smith, he will get gobbled up at AFL level (again).

This could be a blessing in disguise, who ever comes in should get this 4 block period to nail that spot.  Hopefully they lock it in and petty can return to def, i really think we are missing him back there.

 

@dees189227 had his toe jammed between the ground and another player, it caused a sprain in one of the foot ligaments.

Wasn't McDonald picked as an emergency last week, sort of points to him getting the nod this week.

Yep, T-Mac is next in line and he can play the role (lead up CHF) that Petty was playing

Brown is more a deep forward (JVR's role) and Schache is there in reserve for one of the ruckman

I’m guessing that is a polite way of saying someone stepped on his toe?

Perhaps lol, the lady doc on the video said it was an interesting injury.

The doc found it interesting and Jaded No more found it disastrous.

I am leaning towards Jaded's view on this one.

My understanding is this had nothing to do with what happened in the game and that this toe jam stuff is merely a cover.

Apparently he got wind of the MRO crappa on Sparrow and hunted Christian down.

Pssst....this hasn't gotten out of the four walls yet so mum's the word!

This is really bad news. I am with Jaded and Redleg.

No way. The only person who's forgotten about him is Bevo. In fact, I'm tipping him to have a career breakout game at Casey next week.


Yep the dreaded 426.

Im glad the Moonboot was only precautionary !!!

Sounds like it is the end of the world...our third defensive tall and makeshift foward has gone down for 4 to 6. Thought Melbourne was supposed to be a top team. Currently within an injury list most teams would kill for.

Disappointing for Petty who was finding form and starting to hit the score board too. 

Those that have called for Melk or Smith to play a defensive forward role on Alir are on the money IMO. 

 

 

Time for Big Ben Brown to step up. van Rooyen to play Petty's role.

B: Hibberd, May, McVee

HB: Brayshaw, Lever, Rivers

C: Hunter, Oliver, Langdon

HF: Pickett, van Rooyen, Neal-Bullen

F: Fritsch, Brown, Spargo

IC: Bowey, Jordon, Grundy, Chandler

SUB: Harmes

EMERG: Laurie

  • 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?
