MONIZZ with the XX appellation.

Is that the footy equivalent to the Ford Falcon XB GT?

I can see why Thommo is out of favour, has made some critical errors which should have resulted in goals. Shache out the back for a goal. MONIZ Wakey doing well as is a busy Brown dog,Petty has barely touched it. FULLARTON Good. Laurie goodish but IMV lacks a yard in pace

Not good re Petty.

Tommo could be feeling a little flatย 

Thanks for the update Picket.

Good to hear AMW doing well. He's my favoured smoky.ย 

Petty will take at least a month to regain fitness and touch, he's barely touched a ball in preseason.

Fullarton we need

Yea I think we've all been a bit short sighted and overly optimistic re Petty's return. Good call Roost it a long ways.

MONIZZZXX another great goal running through the centre

Hi Picket, how did Sestan go please? And where would you place him in the pecking order at present, and into the future?

Goody openly said heโ€™ll be back for the Hawks so forgive anyone for taking what he says at face value. Maybe they shouldnโ€™t after Clarry last year ๐Ÿ˜‚

Sestan did not play!

DEES PLAYERS RUNDOWN

Jed Adamsย was quieter than last practice game. He did a few good things but nothing of note.

Kynan Brown never gives in. He was interested and involved throughout. I have high hopes for this kid.

Kyah Farris-White - same as Jed Adams, but still learning the caper.

Tom Fullarton had a good game. He was involved, took some marks, kicked a goal or two and was good value.

Matthew Jeffersonย played back pocket (despite being recruited as a key forward) and I thought he was one of our better players. He ran around, was involved, used the ball well and created the lose man a la Jake Lever to perfection.

Bailey Laurie was good and mostly involved but faded right out after a bout half way into the 3rd quarter. I query his lack of pace.

Andy Moniz-Wakefield was our best player. He broke the lines, used the ball well and kicked two sensational goals coming off half back.

Harrison Petty - if he had a kick I must have missed it. He looked way off the pace which is not surprising.

Shackey Attacky kicked three but two of them were out the back to him by himself. He just doesn't impose himself enough at the contest.

Adam Tomlinson played well but did look flat. Made some crucial errors which should have resulted in goals but didnโ€™t.ย 

Thatโ€™s about it!

AND NOW FOR THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY

THE GOOD

GREAT GAMES BY MONIZ WAKEFIELD AND TO A LESSER EXTENT MATHEW JEFFERSON AND BROWN DOG

THE BAD

GETTING DONE BY A JUST VFL SIDE IN COBURGย 

THE UGLY

OUR NQR PLAYERS WHO I DONโ€™T THINK HAVE ENOUGH TRICKS TO BE REGULAR AFL PLAYERS

Could they be looking at him as coverage for Bowey???


Thanks for the update Byron @picket fence

The thought of the number 45 dashing off half back brings me great joy and reminiscent to the great Matthew Whelan who was our dashing half back back in the 2000's.

He is not a dissimilar player Daz, but at this stage without the fear factor (fear of standing in his way and being steamrolled)!๐Ÿ˜

Report states AMW played across half back and kicked two goals. Normally plays forward?ย ย 

Great game or a confused writer?

ย 

Judging by the track watchers reports Petty would be best suited having another run out with Casey.

Another couple weeks training under his belt before a return to AFL level.

Hawthorn are a nuisance to play against after watching the Ess v Haw game today.

Give Harry the correct amount of time to ease back into the fold i say.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, itโ€™s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. Itโ€™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 psychologistย  Itโ€™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 letโ€™s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedย 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).ย

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Caseyโ€™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 ruckmanโ€™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 Demonsโ€™ 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?
