    Sparrow seems the most likely (and maybe only) omission at this stage. AMW had 35 touches in the VFL so I imagine either he or Laurie will come in as straight swap.

    May for Tomlinson?

    Can't see Jefferson getting a cameo, much as it will pain some here.

    May doesn’t need to play. All I need is for some [censored] from Collingwood to pull another serious injury move on him.

    Beating the filth next week will make summer more bearable.

    If Collingwood win today this won’t be a dead rubber for them. 

    I’d therefore almost prefer it if they do knock off Brisbane. Would give us some good motivation, and another 10,000 to the crowd.

    Earlier today I thought BBB might get a final goodbye game after kicking 6 in the VFL.

    After this afternoon's result I'm not sure there's a spot for him - perhaps as sub? But given we probably have to replace Sparrow, it's not exactly like for like. 

    I must admit that I have a fantasy of Benny coming on at the 10 min mark of the last quarter and kicking the goal after the siren to beat the Filth.

    Nonetheless, it will definately be Nibblers last game. It would also be good to get some clarity on Melksham and McDonald too because they both deserve good send-offs if this is their last game (though tbc I think they should both get 1 more year).

    They still look better than us as the 3/4 time siren against the lions goes.

    Our midfield looks better without poor old battered and bruised Oliver in it.


    Who knows, maybe we’ll kick 10 goals from clearance again (even though it’s an irrelevant stat apparently).

    I suspect both Milkshake and Tmac will play one more year. 🤞🏻

    The whole backline goes up a notch with May as the anchor and driving standards.

    Agreed. Which is why I don’t want to see Cox drive a knee into his back next week and watch him lose a kidney.

    The boys should be looking forward to driving a nail into Collingwood’s faint finals chances.

    I would give Hunter his 200th and farewell game next week, on the strict proviso he makes Maynard and Moore know he was out there and if possible legally of course, fixes up Maynard.

    • 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?
