We must leave no stones unturned if we are to to achieve this including asking IMO Hawkins, Isaac Smith, Sam Reid and Jack Ginnivan if any or either are keen to join us on the ride. If you don't ask you don't get!!

Yes, we do need to strengthen our list but I'm not sure any of these players are a realistic option to do it.

Tommy Hawkins is only one step behind TMac & BBB, and this step is quite likely to be in 2024. We don't need another crippled KPF.

Isaac has retired...he made it pretty clear that the country lifestyle & Cats coaching philosophy was a big part of him playing on there. Sure, ask the question but I don't think he sees city life in his future plans.

Sam Reid is an interesting call. I really rate Sam as a player & a fit Sam Reid would be a huge asset. He would have been for Sydney in the 2022 GF & that's the problem. You very rarely get a fit Sam Reid.

As for Ginnivan, I just don't think he's very good. He is a very lucky premiership player who offered nothing on the big stage. A fit Adams would have played ahead of him.

I rarely see you question anything. Or even engage in any sort of robust footy discussion. You just seem like the happy-go-lucky Melbourne supporter ala Rhino who sits there face-palming comments they don't like. 

How boring. 

I really hope you are one of the supporters that Kate Roffey mentioned in her brilliant speech. You know the one that has a membership (because the quicker we become a big club then we don’t have to travel to Geelong etc )…the one who is an obnoxious supporter (but not Collingwood obnoxious) but makes a big  noise at a game so that maybe we get the 50/50 free kick or is it just easier to hide behind a moniker & make quite dismissive comments about our club in general . Steven May spoke the absolute truth..he didn’t whinge..he didn’t sook ..we are a better team. Doesn’t always mean things fall your way. Of interest was the comments made by Roffey ..Goodwin..Gawn to name a few about “umpiring decisions”..amazed you haven’t jumped on that yet

  • 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?
