    let me save you the worry of wondering and let you know that he's not.

    and for Jarka's benefit, I'll make it clear that i didn't hear it personally from Juice but from a person who works with him every day at the club.

    After watching Frawley playing for Sandy last week, I really like the look of this kid.

    He's one of those players who seems to glide across the ground, the way he moves reminds me very much of the way Travis Johnstone and Nick Dal Santo move around. I'm not saying that he'll be as good as those two players but it's something I noticed last weekend. It looks like there feet hardly touch the ground when they run, hopefully this makes some sense.

    So for those who are going to the game on Sunday, keep an eye on him and see if you agree.

    Anyway, good luck to him, hope he does really well and has a long career for the Red and Blue.

    excited about frawley... the way he broke/ran through tackles playing off a wing in the NAB cup was one of my only highlights for the year.

    Amen to that hells bells.....

    I have not had the opportunity to see Frawley as yet, being in Sydney and all.

    But I am really looking forward to having a look into what I hope is going to be a very big part of our future.

    Well, ever since our final Demonland/Demonology sponsorship night last year, when CAC played us his DVD on Frawley, i've been super keen to see him in the R&B.

    He's a mentally mature young fella, with a strong body. He's super quick too, which means he could run with the Pavlich's and Buddy's of this world.

    I would love to see the following back 6 settle in our defence ASAP. Wheels, Bell, Carroll, Rivers, Frawley and Petterd.

    I very much like the sound of that back 6.

    You can add Bartram when Whelan is out, our back six for the future, hopefully Frawley can get stronger like his uncle after a few seasons in the weights room. That's the only player we may need to add a stronger body Tall.

    Hopefully this week we don't have Dunn and Miller playing, all those excited about Dunn on the wing are mis-guided by one game, he is a forward not a midfielder, with Robbo back play him at CHF Miller needs a spell. one of Cj or Brown should play hopefully it is CJ andI don't think Biz will get a game this week, our match ups down back look OK.

    Holland-Pettrie or resting Ruck

    Petterd-Harvey

    Carroll-Edwards

    Godfrey-Grant

    Frawley-Jones

    Bell to get however is left.

    No midfield tags needed beat them one on one.

    Love to see Half forward line Bate Dunn Davey with Robbo Neitz Yze behind them.

    From what I can see you're simply arguing the point with Frawley because you don't agree with the point of view other have expressed regarding Newton.

    Yes, I've already stated that. The reason why some people are saying that Newton shouldn't play yet is because he hasn't shown consistent good form with Sandy, I'm wondering why that rule doesn't apply to other players.

    By the way, I've also already stated that I believe that Frawley should be playing.

    If that's the case then that's great that the club has improved in that area because I can guarantee you it hasn't been very good in the past, and my source is from current and ex players. However, I'm more prepared to believe something when gained directly directly the source rather than second hand info.

    fantastic to see yet another young kid get a run this year. this will mean 3 of last years draftees will now have gotten a run...

    Good luck to Chip for tomorrow. Hopefully he will have a good debut, and be a solid player for us for 10+ years. We really need a good KP backman, and Chip looks to be it.

    • 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?
