It's crazy we gifted both Grundy and Jordon to a premiership contender. Not very strategic.

Strategy had nothing to do with it. Sydney finished eighth last season. How could anyone have known they’d be a premiership contender?

Hashtag hindsight etc.

I've been waiting 100 years for Geelong to be bad again. They are just like:

- The [censored] that won't flush

- A cockroach 

- A thorn in the side

- Anything else that has been posted here a million times.

… a disposable nappy. Those things take hundreds of years to break down.

neither were best 22

okay buddy

Carlton v Essendon is  impossible re. a good result.

Either side winning is enough to make you vomit even a draw gets each team 2 points which is just as bad.

You’re the one spruiking fantasy. 
Both were best 22, don’t be ridiculous 

mr sub Jordon? played plenty of games but was around player 22-25 in the squad

Grundy clearly not best 22. was available during finals didn’t get picked for the last couple of months

whos being ridiculous?

They both wanted to go, one as an unrestricted free agent.

Few other options from the club I would have thought.

Don't get in the way of every thread been overtaken by MFCSS. 🙂

If only we had Grundy i'm sure all our problems would be solved.

It was just madness. I will never understand it, we had some bargaining power, particularly with Gus involved….

The real story will come out one day…

Like when the Pies gave him to us for virtually nothing? it’s cap space and having no negotiation power for a player playing at Casey

Pies got bugger all for Treloar too

both with 5 years left on their contracts.

madness indeed

Nah I want essendon to lose. They have west coast next week. Any losses they have is good and I don't want them going further ahead on the ladder

it’s hilarious isn’t it? people just don’t get footy. Grundy would still be playing at Casey this year if he was with us

he missed a snap from 5m out today unchallenged. he is not a forward at all


Cats have lost 5 of the last 6 since we broke them

good times!

Do you think Scott will give Guilden a vote this week. Cameron getting the 5 is set on stone but….

We needed to get off the hook and we did so, I don't see why we would have had much if any leverage.

I don't want the Cats to win, given it's our best chance at making top 4 for them to lose, however this shows me how ridiculous the AFL fixturing is. Swans have had two byes already and the Cats haven't had any. The Swans look so fresh and the Cats are cooked and just hanging in there.

The AFL are a joke the way they run the fixture.

The AFL put the fix into fixture.

If Grundy had played against Carlton in the semi last year we would have won that game. And we would have gone on to win the flag. We all know this.

 

Wow I've triggered a lot of people here with my Grundy and Jordon talk.

Anyway, here's to Billings and Fullarton!

I think if Gus had retired straight away we would’ve offered Jordon more money, so that was unlucky.

the grundy one was the right move as it gave us more cap once we realised it didn’t work. Doesn’t help this year but will help over the next 5

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    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?
