Not saying it will happen, but on SEN today Dermie suggested trying Tomlinson forward. He was part time coach at GWS when Tommo played there.

That’s pretty much what the FD I saying to the team…

Gawn to also rest at FF

Well, maybe, but the ‘idea’ of that is better the ‘reality’ of that.

I would prefer Lauren Pearce in the ruck before T-Mac 

I would have Daisy Pearce in ruck over T-Mac.

It definitely is. Unless we want to see more hangtime entries this week.

I thought Grundy was valued at our club??? Those words will haunt Goodwin & could go down as the biggest flop of a trade & only Melbourne could manufacture this! Can’t help injuries but if Gawn is on one leg who will be out back up ruck???

Tommo in is a bit baffling to me.  Could he play fwd and sit on Weitering?

Tigers won a premiership with a wingman as a backup ruck.

I thought he’d be a moral for this week. 
Someone here mentioned his attitude wasn’t that great post demotion, maybe that alongside the rumoured Sydney deal has something to do with it

Hibberd sub for mine.

Jesse Motlop. He'd be in the 22 for suspended Martin.

Mate I smashed them last weekend. It was tough but I really stood up…..until I didn’t!

Damn...  plan B... the emergency  Shiraz !!!

All this selection palaver neglects consideration of one thing

Viney to spend the first quarter committing football acts and wipe out their whole team .

  • 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?
