Unrestricted free agent. Exactly the type of player we need to target. Would allow us to push Kozi into the middle more, and not lose craft up forward.

    Another dubious third rate  player, will go ok alongside other champions, Fullerton, McAdam , Hunter, Billings and the Sashenator, right down Taylor’s alley.

    Not happy with our decline, let’s dig down a bit deeper.

    If Bailey smith chooses the Cats you’d think the dogs would be all over this 

    Not if he's an unrestricted free agent

    At the reported $800,000 the media are sprouting you could pick up a topline midfielder.

    You probably can’t these days, not as a free agent anyway. But we should be targeting mids and talls with any big cash offers.

    Stengle’s a class player but paying him top of the line money makes sense for Essendon who have a huge hole there rather than us.

    Yeah, but who is our next coach that can make these changes???

    I am unsure if Stafford is to blame for our forward woes.

    Poor delivery from upfield is not his area. I have seen our forwards make space and be totally ignored, or a mis kick pass cruel them. Long bombs into the forward line are again not his area I would think.

    Do we blame Stafford for dropped marks, poor goal kicking maybe.

    There is more wrong with us than the forward coach.

    I watch it from behind the goals Red and the errors, flaws and poor craft stand out like the proverbial.

    👉🏼  Lack of separation

    👉🏼  STILL too many going up together with no one down

    👉🏼  Three seasons and Kozzy is still going for speckie of the year.  Often spoiling his team mate in the process and also not there for the crumb. 

    Unforgiveable this is still happening after that long.

    👉🏼  Most or all forwards running away from a pressured ball carrier coming through the middle or off a wing far too often.  Doesn't always happen but it's far too often.

    Under this scenario the pressured kicker will often dump it shallow straight into the basket of an oppo defensive sweeper who has read the play better.

    👉🏼  Attempting to play small mediums or mediums at true CHF for serious minutes.  I understand you have to try things and mix things up.  Present a diff look and test your opponents.  But this is a tactic that should be a rare surprise if standard structures arent't working.  Not a regular 'go to'.

    👉🏼  Smalls, Mediums & even HF - Mids running into the leading lanes of designated hit ups disrupting their attemps to mark on a lead.

    I've seen (from behind the goals) Fritta & Melk (last season) yelling in frustration a number of times for rookies and seasoned players to get the hell out.

    👉🏼  Non desgnated hit up forwards do not provide enough blocks / chop outs in general in order to assist marking forwards gain space / time on their opponents.

    👉🏼  Not enough dumby leads by non designated stay-at-home forwards in order to clear out the forward 50 for pack crashing / marking forwards and crumbers like JVR & Kozzy.

    The only players with genuine leading patterns and / craft ...

    BBB & Melk ... when playing

    Fritta... when he decides to bring it

    That's just from recent memory.

    You see a fair bit from behind the goals that you don't see from the wing on the box.

    Fair enough.

    My vision is as you said, from the wing or on TV.

    A yes to Stengle for mine. He'd be ahead of Chandler.

    If we do what I think we should do and revert to a forward half territory game, we need more x factor at ground level. It means slower entries become more dangerous if we get them to ground and repeat stoppages inside 50 would also face a better chance of being converted with more x factor.

    Which is why I hope we also target Rachele.

    IMV we've had a style that suits x factor smalls, which is why Kozzy has shone in our system. Problem we've had is we don't have any other x factor smalls.

    • 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?
