I reckon that was Jeffo's first ever pre-season game in the 1's against AFL opposition, in previous years he's been in the VFL squad

Yep. Spot on.

Loudest [censored] ghost in the history of ghostkind.

One of the positives of the day was Tom Campbell. Held his own against one of last yearโ€™s best ruckman in the AFL in Xerri. Also showed unexpectedly competent skills for a ruck, highlighted by some quality set shots at goal.

Itโ€™s reassuring to know that if Max has a niggle, we can rest him with the knowledge that we have a secondary ruckman that will be competitive. Weโ€™re (touch wood) clearly not having a repeat of the Freo debacle last year when the game was over before it started re: conceding hit out and clearance dominance.

Lastly, sounds like heโ€™s has a great pre season, looks fit for his age and by all reports is a cracking bloke.

Looks to have good synergy already with the midfield group too, which is fantastic. It took Grundy along time to have that connection but TC appears to have it already.

Do we have any update regarding AMW?

Jagga has done an ACL from what appeared to be a far less nasty entanglement than poor Andyโ€™s.

Nothing yetโ€ฆ Iโ€™m guessing we will hear something soon.

Fingers crossed it isnโ€™t an ACL.

Didn't look great at all. Hoping for a bit of a miracle.

Awww thanks Lex. ย Thatโ€™s exactly why I needed to share this. These are things you donโ€™t know are happening because who would report on a story like theirs? No scandal, no misbehaviour, nothing sensational therefore whoโ€™s gonna read it?

As for cute, it took every fibre of my being to resist scooping Nan up and running off with her under my arm when no one was looking. Iโ€™d put her in my backpack (wouldnโ€™t even need to fold her in half) and sheโ€™d soon settle in with me and my chooks in St Albans. Seriously though, she actually thanked me for making her feel so welcome in my town. ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅน

Haha, chooks! That's as St Albans as it gets! Explains your baseball bat post a while ago ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿคฃ

This is probably partly why he was feeling the pressure, the weight of expectation. Late in the game he was in the goal-square and play was up the other end. We were yelling encouragement to him but a little more than we would had it been anyone else because you could see he was down on himself. He looked around at us and tried to smile. I said โ€œYouโ€™re doing so well, Matty!โ€ But he shook his head as in, no Iโ€™m not. He needs as much of a confidence boost as possible. Idk if itโ€™s been mentioned on here before but at training the biggest and loudest cheers coming from the boys can be heard when itโ€™s Jeffo whoโ€™s just slotted one. They get around him like nothing else, especially Max.ย

If it is season ending, I would be approaching the AFL to replace him, as it is unfair that the SSP end was in the middle of a round of match sims. All sims should be completed before the cut off date, or none of them. There is obviously more chance of injury in contact games, than training.

Good call 'Redleg'...ahead of the game with this one.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, itโ€™s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. Itโ€™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 psychologistย  Itโ€™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 letโ€™s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmedย 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).ย

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Caseyโ€™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 ruckmanโ€™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 Demonsโ€™ 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?
