hmmm

PJ will play , Holland will play on rocca , Yze must play...

Frawley Petterd buckley or brown?

i hope buckley makes his debut

can we drop petterd, bit stiff on his behalf

no dropping pettard hes spectacular since hes been in the side IMO

it would be a bench like this Pettard, PJ , Holland then 1 of YZE Buckley or frawley

i honestly dnt think frawley will make the cut and i would like to see Buckley debut.... it would eb exciting as for Yze we dnt know if he will play a soft game on Monday if selected or a good game ...i think Buckley should get the nod ahead of YZE

    How is Davey's Knee?

    Buckley will only play if Davey doesn't although I'd like to see him in for Brown. No reason to play Holland, Frawley to Cloke and Carroll to Rocca, Bell get Didak, Petterd to Davies, Biz gets the next tall and Ward goes back.

    I would like to see our forwad line

    Yze Neitz Robbo

    Sylvia Bate Bruce

    Davey to the wing

    Melbourne is paying $13 to make the finals from here.

    In my opinion this is a very, very poor bet.

    I would think odds of at least $50 would be closer to the mark.

    I guess this means that there are a few people out there who think the Dee's are still a chance.........

    Not I.

    $13 represents a 8% chance of the bookies thinking that we can make the finals - representing the fact that the bookies understand that Melbourne (without injuries) are a better side than the ladder indicates...

    Actually it sort of raises an interesting point ... the public/media in general have been quite understanding of our plight this year... Neal Balme certainly didn't receive that sort of understanding in 96, 97! Slightly Different circumstances i realise...

    Yze in for Brown.

    Interesting - didn't think Yze would be fit, but good to see.

    • 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?
