Shifting magnets isn't the solution to our key forward issues. 

Bottom line is we need more from JVR. I love his attack on the footy and has a beautiful kicking action, but I'm becoming very concerned at his inability to read the ball flight coming in. Watched him run under it too many times last week. Maybe Lever can impart some wisdom on him in this area.

    Sicily does a good job as a swingman. May would be good at it as well.

    I reckon Petty is the perfect swingman. Strong contested grab, usually a good kick for goal and is still young.

    I think we'd be saying something different if Hogan played.

    TMac beat Cadman a number of times, but Hogan killed TMac last year.

    Without May, we'd have been in strife I reckon.

    I couldn't agree more. As demonstrated by the failed Petty experience.

    But unfortunately, more a necessity.

    And sure Jvr needs to improve but he's still young. The finger of suspicion points squarely at Fritta first. Well and truly .

    And moving May fwd allows for Jvr in the ruck who after watching on Sunday is clearly our second best option. Jvr in the middle more when Max needs a break would help negate the need for May in  defence.

    Only if we are 100 points up in the Grand Final with 5 mins to go

    And we're still only 50/50 to win it.

    • 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?
