    Did anyone watch the Casey game ? Seriously only Sestan and Moniz-Wakefield would be capable.  Both deserve a game. 
     

    outs.  Brown again, Petty, Billings, Lever (concussion) Chandler (knee) 

    in.  JVR.  Langdon.  Sestan. AMW.  Tomlinson.

    Agreed. Already playing a lot of kids; let’s not throw them all in.

    Half the Casey regulars didn’t play cos they were carry over emergencies for the AFL game

    Those that did play at Casey are, presumably, further back in the pack 

    OUT: Lever, Billings, Sparrow, B Brown
    IN: JVR, Langdon, Fullarton, Tholstrup

    Petty to return to defence where he’s clearly more comfortable

    I somehow doubt that the above will happen tho

    I think we need to hedge our bets a little. It’s possible 2021 is all we’re gonna get, or it’s possible we might still be in the flag race. It’s hard to say at 6-4 in May.

    So I would be in favor of cutting clear deadwood like Billings who won’t get a kick in September anyway, for someone like Laurie or Sestan. 
    Woey Jr was one I thought might not be up to it but he’s starting to flourish with opportunity. 
    Ben Brown is another who needs to go, but the cupboard is a little bare. Absolutely not to Jeffo coming in lol, I have faith in him but it’s too soon.

    Tomlinson one and done for Lever. 

    Otherwise I think Goody has to roll with the same guys and hope we can peak later in the year or pinch one in an open year.

    Out: Lever, BBB, Billings. (Howes sub)

    In: JVR, Fullarton, Langdon

    FB: McVee May McDonald
    HB: Rivers Petty Woey
    C: Langdon Oliver Windsor 
    HF: Chandler  Fullarton Viney 
    FF: McAdam JVR Pickett 
    Foll: Gawn ANB  Salem
    Int: Bowey , Sparrow, Fritsch, Petracca
    S: Howes

    Probably have to give Petty the chance down back, he at least had a go in the ruck.

    Which means Fullarton I guess??

    Seen enough of BBB, he’s on a hiding to nothing but gave nothing. Seen more than enough of Billings.

    Time to reward Woey’s consistent effort with a full game, could be half back for Howes, could be wing with Langdon forward more.

    Wouldn't be surprised if we also see Tholstrup back in the side either. Maybe even a Sestan debut.

    Laurie? 🤣 he's genuinely a worse version of Billings.

    Probably only two things for sure.

    Lever misses due to concussion.

    At least one of Brown and Petty is dropped/moved out of the forward line (they combined for 1.2 from 8 disposals and 3 marks. That's not good enough for one of them on their own, let alone both of them).

    Presumably JVR replaces the dropped/moved key forward. Tomlinson or Petty for Lever you'd think.

    We don’t know that for sure. He’s barely had an extended opportunity. At worst he’s rubbish, like Billings is anyway, and at best he might find himself like Taj has done.

    Somehow or other Fullerton needs to be also blooded... dunno how but when I can't even give a 6.5.4.3 vote for that pathetic effort I am in a quandry.

    • 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?
