I get a feeling Clarry is going to play a big one this Saturday. Can see an incline in his energy/fitness, but just as importantly, I think that gammy hand of his is healing. At the very least, I believe he’s put the worst behind him for a long time. 
 

 

I hope he’s even better on Sunday

We can’t be risking Gawn now if he isn’t 95%, I’d rather play without him this week if it means he is better for it for the remainder of the season. If it hypothetically costs us finals so be it, it’s about more than this year anyway and if one game is the difference we probably weren’t going to be a contender anyway.

BUT the medical team is handling our list well. When did we have a list with so few injuries?

 

Gawny will play..

Name Injury Expected Return
Max Gawn Ankle Test
Lachie Hunter Calf  1 week
Charlie Spargo  Achilles Season
Christian Petracca Spleen  Indefinite

I liked how Goody finished the presser.

“ Fremantle haven’t see our best and it’s time to put that on show”

It really annoys me that we've let this nothing club have the wood over us. 

It's time to put an end to it.

I’m putting it down to the AFL making us play them around ‘peak loading period’

They’ve won the last 2, but wouldn’t necessarily say they’ve got the wood over us. They haven’t beaten us at Optus Stadium yet…

They beat us last year when they were hot garbage. I am sick of them stealing our players and then beating us.

Lets beat Freo and show them all the WA talent they passed on in the draft:

  • Kozzi (they has 3 chances to draft him)
  • Rivers
  • Tholstrop
  • JVR
  • McVee

These guys have been among our best in the last few weeks and are the best WA youth running around.  Did I miss any?

I comfort myself in the knowledge that we got Jeff White from them, Langdon, and they effectively gave us Steven May for nothing given what Hogan gave them. And I totally agree, it's high time we gave them a belting.

Or a barbed wire suppository 

I would be happy with an unchanged lineup if Gawn is still underdone

Petty/van Rooyen will be a good matchup vs Jackson

I kinda wanna see us name Max on the extended bench tonight.

Would make a great sub. Real impact player.

Except that you'd want to sub him on 10 minutes into the first quarter.

Who do we think would take being sub better; Gawn or May?

Send both of them an email and check the laptop 3 days later.

One thing to consider is that Darcy and Jackson are a big step up from that Essendrug rat tail. 

I think Draper and Darcy are quite close, Darcy useless outside stoppage — Jackson slightly better around ground but tbh I think it’s all about combatting them as separate entities! Like Binman said, Petty for Darcy & JVR for Jackson..

 

but.. big MAX will be there.. I can feel 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.

    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?
