Turner and Petty as the 1 and 2 in the forward line is my preference. Give a trial for the next month. JVR had his chance and I reckon needs to have a solid month in the 2’s.

Fritta is on thin ice too. Should have had 4-5 goals tonight.

Milkshake, probably gets rubbed out because it’s MFC.

If petty is concussed he'll be out as well as melky.

Might be a turner/aj or turner/roo fwd line next week.

Fritsch will keep his spot especially if melky gets rubbed out

    Jack Riewoldt doing his best to verbal a suspension for Melksham

    [censored]!

    I'm not saying this is actually the case but I swear it feels like it's always a Melbourne player that the media try to make an example of for a suspension. Melksham did an act that Riewoldt would've done hundreds of times in his career, he didn't shove him into a contest to hurt him, he tried to out body the guy.

    I feel like people take Gawn for granted sometimes. I really don't think it's likely we're ever going to have a ruckman like him ever again.

    It's crazy to think that he might have the same number of AA selections as Ablett Jnr and Buddy Franklin by the end of the year.

    I'm obviously biased, but for me he's the GOAT. Cox barely did half the stuff Gawn does around the ground.

    Wants Melksham suspended, suggested several times Spargo gave a Weagle a cheap shot after the whistle was blown. Spargo put a tackle on half a second after the whistle was blown and he claims it a cheap shot. That guy is so infuriating I nearly needed a new

    I've got no idea what we did to Jack Riewoldt but he absolutely hates us. The only thing I can think of he pretty much always played a stinker against us except for one game in 2017.

    Should also mention Daniel Turner. I’m not sure if he even counts as a young guy anymore and he’s never going to be paid millions of dollars or get AA blazers, but a guy who play to a high level at either end of the ground AND KICK STRAIGHT is worth his weight in gold to this team, and any team going forward. Must be in the 23 for rest of the year.

    I must say, I think May is near the end.

    He's always panicked with frontal pressure and he's never been a good user, but he no longer really wins contests either.

    It might be a big call, but I think if we're to get better this year, May will find himself on the fringe of the 22 by the end of 25.

    It has to be said that making Viney a tagger has completely turned his form around. I feel like it took Goody too long to swing that move but now that he has done it Jack looks so much more like the player he is, it feeds on his competitive spirit and best of all Jack is good enough to hurt the player the other way if given the chance.

    How good are Lindsay and Langford going, absolute Jets

    Lindsay was quieter tonight but barely put a foot wrong.

    Langford is a jet. That left boot of his is class.

    Ashcroft aside, both are real chances for the Rising Star this year.

    Think it’s just the same thing with every footy personality or whatever you want to call them—we’re an easy target.

    Relatively small club which means they won’t cop any major pushback like they would if they went after a big 4 club but still famous enough that people will pay attention to stories about us. Stereotype of rich/posh supporters and not considered a loveable “second team” so nobody else wants to defend us like they might with St Kilda or Footscray.

    Melksham also didn’t shove him into the path of leading players, which has been the case in all of the other incidents. It would be absolutely crazy to suspend him.

    May definitely looks to be reaching his cliff, I think it's important that we start to think of the next phase with him and whether that is him taking the number one defender. I like Petty and Disco as swing men, but I actually want them to both be defenders first with the swing there if needed. Ironically Petty seems to play better if he starts as a defender.

    I disagree. The modern game suits him perfectly.

    He is ultra athletic for a tall lad. Beautiful kick and mark. He has every opportunity to become a high value player. Just needs the experience and belief.

    I really have high hopes for him.

    It would be so Michael Christian for him to give Melk a one weeks suspension, I have no faith in him making the right call.

    This is how I felt tonight. I think we just really need to cherish every game we see him in from now until boot hang up time. This is something seriously special.

    • 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.

      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?
