Does anyone know how Smith performed?

Two Rivers. One I assume is McVee who does quietly destroy opponents!

McVee a lock in the top 10 in the B&F. I wouldn't be surprised if he is top 7 or top 8.

Bit tough on Bill Laurie who came on late in the third and had 9 touches (4 contested), 2 inside 50's and 4 score assists.

He was great.  Right man at the right time

Laurie had 9 touches, 4 score involvements and 2 assists in a quarter and a bit. I thought he was good when he came on.

No goals, 7 disposals, 5 tackles, 3 marks, 206 metres gained. I thought he did well today, applying pressure. Bit tough to measure a crowded forward line on the small SCG.  But I am a bit of an optimist and barrack for all of them.

Yes I know it’s very inconsiderate of me, and obviously it’s music to the ears of many, but now is the opportunity  for any budding 3 worded trainees to give it a go and open up a whole new career for a week..

joeboy - pulled the rug!

Salem worked his way into it. Pivotal in the last quarter.

Also covered by Pink in more recent times.

Alice was Alice Liddell, who urged Charles Dodgson ( Lewis Carroll) to write the story of Alice in Wonderland.

Bit harsh only a 2nd or 3rd game (after injury in his first). O thought he did not look overawed and shwoed a lot of potential (and I am not his Aunty!!)

Bill Laurie has shown enormous improvement. Give him a few more games and he will be very handy

I dont think it was too harsh at all

He was "Fumbly on ccasions"!

I noticed he had a lot of clever touches in not much space.  Possibly too willing to hand the ball off to better credentialled team-mates, but you often see that with guys just finding their feet.  If he starts to back himself in a bit more he'll be more eye-catching.

Bang bang to be precise 

To be precise I included an earlier ,"bang" to set the scene.........gap......"bang bang."

Which made it 3 words.to be even more precise I might have needed 5 words .

Is that OK  with you?

Very good appraisal

  • 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?
