We have now won a game so what's our best line up moving forward? Is it the team that beat the Dockers. Is the out of form van Rooyen and Fritsch still in our best 23?

Best Line up

B: Lever, May, McVee

HB: Salem, McDonald, Bowey

C: Langdon, Oliver, Windsor

HF: Petracca, van Rooyen, Chandler

F: Fritsch, Petty, Spargo

FOLL: Gawn, Viney, Pickett

IC: Langford, Lindsay, Sparrow, Rivers

SUB: Melksham

EMERG: Tholstrup, Sharp, Turner

Casey

B: Smith, Adams, Bonner

HB: Howes, Turner, Hore

C: Billings, Laurie, Woewodin

HF: Sestan, Johnson, Henderson

F: Sharp, Jefferson, Fullerton

FOLL: Campbell, Culley, Tholstrup

IC: Baldi, Hardie, Verrall, Kentfield, 23rd man

EMERG: Brown, Mentha, George

 
 

It's too early to tell. What might be our best line up now is unlikely to be our best line up by the end of the year.

I hope we can get a look at Adams and Sestan at AFL level soon.

I think Turner should be in our best side too.

Definitely Turner.

I'd love Tholstrup to be clearly in the best 22 as part of that change you referred to over the year.

For me Melksham is nowhere near our best side.

The JVR call is a bold one - centre half forward? Why not give it a try. He’d have to work a lot harder and build up his aerobic agility.

I've NFI how JvR is expected to learn his craft as a forward if he's rucking for up to 10 minutes each quarter. Fullerton had 6 hitouts and went OK. IMO he stays until JvR shows a bit at Casey (not rucking).

Only Fullerton or AJ to ruck.

Melksham ensures the ball comes to ground. If JVR and others can start to do that, great. Until then, Melksham stays.

  • 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?
