I would not be surprised if Fullarton came in for lately withdrawed Spargo.

I would be.

In fact surprised is way too mild a description of what my reaction would if Fullarton plays in this match.

    More likely would be TMac to free up Lever/May against their 3 tall forwards. Even that's a stretch. Pun intended.

    What is the rule for substituting an emergency for a selected or interchange player prior to the game?

    Given our off season, this will be a defining game. Get em Dees, give them nothing. I want to see scorn on their faces, no laughter or pats on back until the end, or unless a bit of magic happens. Angry and ruthless, us against them. Run out the quarters, get those late goals and go into the break on a high, and definitely to not concede in the time-ons. Pressure, contest and causing turnovers is the modern game and our DNA, plus holding it in our forward area and playing roles. The Carlton community game showed that our zone is still working unless the opps 'take it on'. Be interesting to see if we use fast and powerful plays down corridors, and some blitzing to create a string of goals.

    Feeling confident.

    Go Dees

    Agree,  start the season like we did against the blues, stun the lot of them.  Give them nothing for the whole game and the whole season.  We have the back line we have the mids, I think (hope) Windsor has a blinder, 

    I have no idea who will kick our goals, hopefully 6 or 7 kick multiple.

    GO DEES

    Found a bar in NusaDua that does AFL my wife gets a massage and I get to yell and bellow in a bar. Hope there are other supporters. Bintang grosse each quarter. 
    Happy with any win but I would rather we dominated the burgers , go Dee’s 

    and I want Max to lead from the front.

    jaysus, i’d need a Gavascon chaser after that brekky!

    maybe a defibrillator too!

    I can’t even look at that brekkie pic now. I actually had a Berocca chaser, then another coffee at the airport. Had to hold the spew-bag for the entire flight, much to the concern of the poor soul sitting next to me. The attendants asked folks to let me off the plane first. I thought they were just being nice but they clearly didn’t embrace the thought of cleaning up some eejit’s vomit. The fumes on the tarmac exacerbated the situation. I barely made it to the ladies room, where there was a queue so I had to choose: floor or sink. Poor old sink got the gig.

    For future game-days I shall never again stray from my usual game-day fare of three ☕️s and four 🚬s and one Red Bull. 👍🏽

    As much as i want to see another flag and remain relevant in the competition, i equally now want us to find a permanent home for the next 30+ years, so all we then need to focus on is football.

    The model is based upon all the games played so far this year for premiership points!  
     

    today is dragging like a worm ridden dogs butt on the carpet.

    storyline’s I don’t want to see:

    grundy goes forward and kicks 4

    JJ shines for bog.

    the one I do want to see:

    demons by 25, in a canter.

    Going to be very interested to see how Schache goes. He’s got a good opportunity here to make him difficult to drop if he can make himself a target a get a couple of goals. I’d like to see him play with enough presence where a defender has to be thinking ‘where is Schache’ and not just be able to run off him at will to other contests.

    Totes agree! We need him to be a threat.

    So who’s sub tonight out of Billings, Windsor Chandler or Laurie? Clearly Bowey will start.

    A bit of noise over at Bigfooty that it’s Billings.

    I'd go with Chandler personally, but could also see Laurie. No chance on Billings surely!

    • 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?
