I remember Kelvin Templeton coming across to Melbourne as a champion full forward.

I remember that. Templeton dragged himself into the first meeting by his arms, his useless lower body trailing helplessly behind him. His lower limbs showing signs of having recently been re-attached at the knees.

"Jesus Christ, it's Kelvin Templeton!" said the Dees brains trust. "Before we start the meeting, can you sign these footballs?"

"I ... I ... " wheezed Templeton. "Please, I ..." He slumped to the floor, coughing.

"Kelvin, is that ... blood dripping from your knees?" asked one committee member, noticed the blood pooling on the floor under the great forward.

"Oh, that ..." gasped Templeton. "I'm fine ... it only hurts ... it only hurts when I .... breathe ... oh, God ..." He then lost consciousness.

"Jesus, fellas" said the chairman. "We'd better sign him before Collingwood hears he's on the market."

 

 

 

 

Having said that, I have happy memories of a game at Princes Park where he ripped the Blues a new one. Good times!

    Unless we lose one of JVR or Petty, I can't see us going big on any opposition KPF.

    Nah, I'd prefer that Jackson guy who plays for Freo. He looks a likely type.

    The trade cost would be too much. Freo would expect two good first-round picks at least.

    What did they let Jesse Hogan go for?

    After seeing our man Jefferson on the weekend in the VFL I am feeling a lot better about our forward mix, with or without Petty going forward.

    Marked like a weapon...couldn't kick but if he gets that sorted I can't wait to see Jeffo and JVR in the same forward line.  No need to splurge on a JUH in my opinion.

    Anyone worried about the form of LVR?

    That's Liam who isnt playing well at all.But his cousin Jacob is playing a difficult role with a great attitude and is important to the team.

    Jeffo had one good quarter at Casey and was average for the rest of the game. Took some good marks but kicked poorly. Should've had 5

    Needs to start showing he's consistently more than VFL level.

    Very early days, but it would be fair to say that BBB won't play every game this year and an opportunity will come knocking at some point if Jeffo is ready

    That excites me...c'mon JEFFO!!!


    JUH is playing with a knee injury, makes him less viable as option as a replacement for any of our tall forwards going west.

     

    Sign a blank check and give it to him and send Petty to the Crows for their first pick and hand it over to the Doggies with one of our 2nds. 
     

    Develop Jeffo as a CHB / FB.

    Edited by Gawndy the Great

    Frankly Lockett, Dunstall, Norm Smith, Coleman or Coventry would struggle if our mids revert to the old long high bomb instead of the low kick forward that we were starting to do with some success earlier in the season.

    Long and low even if not at a specific target but into space lessens the chances of an intercept and gives crumbs a chance.

    He certainly has the X Factor and he won’t win a Flag at the Dogs…

    Doggies need picks to rejuvenate their list. They need defenders and Naughton ain’t going. Darcy will play Forward and they’ll sign English.

    I have a Doggies friend in the know who is supremely confident ‘Marra is not going anywhere, he’s a Bulldog for keeps. 

    JUH isn’t going anywhere. If anything I think that’s good for everyone else, as the dogs have a lot of talls on good money, but they still don’t have anything that resembles an AFL standard backline.

    Just on Jamarra, he looks an absolute superstar. He controls the ball at such height, and it all looks effortless. I was skeptical at first, but he’s going to be in the top 5 players in the comp. Goes to show it takes longer with tall forwards. Hang in there Jeffo.

    I feel down the track, JUH becomes exactly like Jeremy Cameron.

    Just does as he pleases and burns opponents at will

      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?
