Give Petty another week....

    So Brown played really well but seems to still only have a half of good footy in him. No idea how he will pull up for next week.

    Judging by the public comments, Goodwin seems to think that Petty will find more form playing in the AFL than the twos. But from the people who went to the Casey game it seems like he's not going to be kicking bags for a few weeks.

    How did Fullerton look yesterday? 

    Second tall forward/ruck still seems the week link but I reckon Brown deserves some congrats for his game today.

     

    No change unless there’s an injury/niggle that needs managing before two games on the road in Adelaide

    6 day break. Not sure how Brown will pull up

    Petty or Fullarton in for Brown if needed

    otherwise no change. reward the team. Sparrow was down but he deserves the chance to make up for it

    I wouldn't mind see what Tholstrup can do. Perhaps a straight swap with Woey. Other than that no change. Give Petty another week to find his feet in the twos.

    Sicily got a week for kicking out when he was targeted early. That is very soft. 

    Expect it to be overturned at appeal

    massive loss for the hawks . sicily can't seem to stay out of trouble for long no matter how many articles they write about him shedding his bad boy behaviour and becoming captain .

    can't imagine we'll wield too many, if any, changes but I too wouldn't mind seeing the Kolt unleashed on the G .

    out Sparrow.

    In Petty,

    Tholstrup sub

    Don't drop Sparrow. He will come good.

    I don't think any changes but Petty in is tempting. Play Brown for 1 more week and then bring petty in for Adelaide games.

    We simply should not consider dropping Sparrow. Didn't have the greatest of games this week but you don't through the baby out with the bathwater. Also don't drink bathwater

    Obvious from training reports that BBB has a light program.

    If we can get him up for next week that would be great

    I see the weather is dry and 23/24 which is not too bad

    No way is Sparrow getting dropped. I’ll back him in to find some form over the next couple of games.

    • 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?
