I think we should only change the sub. Jordon for Laurie. The rest stay hopefully Roo's suspension gets downgraded. I can't see who we could replace Roo with maybe go small and pick Spargo.

Just had the realisation that James Harmes is going to come in for Angus Brayshaw and I've now vomited everywhere. If we are going out in straight sets, please don't pile on the misery of watching Harmes torch teammates, try his dusty impression before getting pinged and miss directly in front set shots at crucial times in the again.

3. Have a forwardline with, wait for it, forwards 

Yes like renowned forward Harrison Petty or longtime halfback flankers Jake Melksham and Bailey Fritsch?

Will Carlton be forced to wear their clash jumper next week? Given we had to wear ours against the Pies

They were in 2011 vs West Coast

So we go a man down without Gus? Cool idea. Bamboozle them.

I dream of premiership defender Petty making an appearance in our forwardline next week 😭

I won't celebrate an injury to anyone but thank god Goodwin doesn't have a choice.

If we as supporters want to help our players the plan is pretty simple. If you went to the G on Thursday you must turn up again. Better still buy a ticket for a mate. Doesn’t matter if they don’t barrack for the Dees, so long as they hate Carlton and are very loud. 

The bull [censored] free kicks in Carlton’s favour, from the umpires (AFL) need to stop next week.  The critical calls against Sydney and the non calls for Sydney was laughable.

Blues just won their premiership. We're  going to butt [censored] them next week

Out: Roo Gus Laurie (sub)

In: grundy, spargo Jordan (sub) 

Spargo comes in to get kozzy more into the midfield and let Trac spend more time inside 50

.... or even non forwards who can disperse leads so that it its impossible to find a pack of 20 to kick it towards.

Harmes season ending injury today I believe.

Yes I know the narrative about Schache but we signed him for another year and TMac, really, are we confident he will win a one on one battle. At least Schache is a tall forward so could be novel to have one of those in our forward line given JvR is out.

Remind me to ping you early next year when Petty kicks 0.3 (two out on the full) after having the ball kicked on his head 21 times.

  • 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?

    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?
