Was our warrior in the backline today. Absolute fantastic game. I always knew this guy still had something in him. Fightback in the last quarter was ignited by him imo, along with Jones. Ran it out of half back wonderfully. Set up 3 goals in the last.

    No way.

    Cj instead of Ward IMO. Why oh why do we use Ward as our linkman when he is such a shite kick.

    agreed that bizzel would be better than ward.

    would rather cj ahead of both of them. and brown as well.

    time to give the kid some game time so he is more experienced. unfortunately its time to look to next season. and while im not a fan of tanking, i would rather CJ had some more experience so he may be able to give us something next year.

    His offensive work when we were on the fly was good.

    However, had his opponent Corey Jones made us pay and not missed easy shots in 2.3 it might have been different.

    He is still too loose in defense.

    Better than his average.

    Great game to the Bizz

    strong hands

    Held down the back

    Made good decisions

    Hope he can retain his spot in the side for the rest of the year and play some good footy

    I said as much to the people I was sitting with and then was told there was 2 and a half minutes to go :(

    Great game by Bizz. Courageous as ever and should stay in at least until Rivers is fit and up and playing well.

    I think Clint_Bizkit is owed a few apologies.

    I like the Biz in the team, he has a cool head and is a good user of the ball and is courageous and a great mark.

    Would rather him over CJ, and I'd rather CJ over Ward.

    I don't see why Bizzell and Rivers can't be in the same team together.

    They aren't competing for the same position.

    A lot of people seem to think they are.

    They are wrong. Rivers has taken the key CHB role in most roles. Bizz has played off a HBF.

    Do you (or they) know who Bizzell played on this week?

    Corey Jones.

    Rivers would not be wasted on a Corey Jones.

    never ever should have been dropped for all this time... been our best defender with rivers for the last 4 years.......

    Biz is a gun

    He's back in Showbiz! B)

    Thanks Rhino, I was wondering if someone was going to bring it up. Ward and Bizzell in the same side is a half forward's wet dream. I'm not out to bag the blokes, you need that run and drive off the half back line, you need your backmen to be brave and take risks, but there are also times they need to be accountable. I'd urge anyone going to the game next week to note his direct opponent and watch the contests carefully.

    True, but you wouldn't see them in the same backline because what Bizzell can do, Rivers can do much better.

    Bizzell is essentially a loose man in defence. He is the third man up, which is fine, except Rivers can both shut down his direct opponent and help out his teammates. Plus, he has pace to break the lines.

    In the absence of Rivers, our best defender by an absolute mile it is quite frightening, Bizzell's inclusion is logical. However, there are so many players who could play that loose defensive role. It is probably one of the easiest positions on the ground.... as long as you don't have to be accountable for a man. Bizzell struggles to be accountable, even on an ordinary player like Jones.

    We just can't afford to play Ward, Bizzell and Brown all in the same back half. If the Kangaroos kicked straight today, the backline wouldn't be getting so much praise. Apart from Carroll and Bell who are solid and accountable, the rest were loose today. I'm still trying to figure out where the Grant vs. Green match-up came from?! :wacko:

    • 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?
