    His Brother Josh.  

    May I add from the vision they are showing there is no way he is playing.

    Every time I look, the weather forecast for Thursday gets crappier and crappier.  Not good.

    Since I last looked the temp has gone up 2 degrees to 19 now. The 90% chance of rain might not be that cold.

    Spargo is firming as a possible selection in place of TMac in my opinion. (assuming wet/greasy conditions) Looking windy as well. Not great for our high forward bombs

    Pity that Schache hasn't come on.

     

    I read this a lot about our high bombs. Are we still doing this? I don’t think so.

    Good. Play players who are not 100% fit and see what happens.

    AA TEAM   just now i bothered to have a look at it.

    Hilarious. 2 St.kilda players in the backline.  I'd back in the  Dees backline ahead of that lot  in big games. WTF would Aints know.

    The obssession with Bulldogs and Saints players over the years is mind boggllng. The Bont excluded.

    Without Fritsch Melbourne FC could become the first team to win a flag without a  forward line.

    It could happen.

    This post may be written in jest, but I really don't like it. Cox wears his glasses to stop him from going blind from another eye injury. It's OK not to like him, but let's not wish him a serious, life-changing injury.

    Well then tell him not to ride his knees into Gawn's back at every opportunity

    We’re 0-5 in the wet this year.

    What’s that saying that if you throw a bunch of darts at the board… 

    Weirdly, we only played 1 wet game last year and actually won it (Freo-rd 20)

    So N Daicos started running today and will be playing a critical final 4 nights later.

    Righto.

    If the weather forecast doesn’t change I’m going to put money on the Pies. I just don’t think we have enough good ball users to take smart options and try and hit up targets in the wet. It’s a real risk that we’ll revert to bombing it in and get caught on the rebound with chaos ground ball that Elliott and the like will love.

    Pies have officially ruled him out now.

    As I said based on the running there is no way he is playing. quarter pace and could not change direction.

    The boys won’t care how wet it is. In the first 8 weeks of 2021 we played in the rain about 4-5 times and won them all.
    This season we’ve lost a couple of close ones in the wet and some of our best footy came in the pouring rain during the third quarter of the Port game where we piled on 7 goals. 
    Us being no good in the rain is a little overblown I think.

    The Alice Spring game was the worst.

    Predicted score had us wining by 5 goals that day.

    Oh yeah, forgot about that one. A squillion 50 entries for 5 goals. Was thinking Port and Carlton only.

    I was about to post the same thing. How do you reckon the Pies run and carry goes on the wet? We’re about to grind out 3 wins and take home the Flag. Rain ain’t stopping that.

    What’s the minimum amount of time it has to rain during a game to constitute a ‘wet’ match? It rained during the Richmond game later in the year and we won that. Are you counting gather round in your 0-5? 
    That loss had nothing to do with the rain. It was obvious from the first ten minutes we weren’t covering the ground well at all.

    • 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?
