Really should have worked him into the Jackson trade a couple years ago. Perhaps we tried and were rebuffed. Think@Redleg was calling for it at the time.

We never asked.

    Has Luke Jackson won possession at all so far tonight? He's always buzzing around contests looking vaguely like he's doing something but never seems to actually impact the play.

    Was just about to say the same thing. 5 possessions half way through the second. Getting smashed when in the ruck. A much better player than that.

    Is it just me, or is Daicos going off because of an "injury" when his tagger is beating him a bit sus.

    Sadly that didn't age well.

    Still fairly pedestrian, but you are right 😎

    Granted his missed games due to suspension, but Houston is having a very ordinary year....

    Thankfully the POS isn't playing so I don't have to look at his ugly head.

    However Crisp is almost as bad.

    Dunno who the POS even is but Collingwood have no shortage of ugly mugs I'd rather not look at.
    Mason Cox at the top of the list.

    Longmuir has to be about on his last legs as coach of Freo, surely?

    With the list he has, they should be doing much better than their current output. Their game plan is worse than ours.

    Not too sure I’d be salivating over the prospect of bringing LJ back in a hurry either. Hasn’t done too much in his time over their and has stagnated badly, particularly for the $ he would be on.

    The Shockers are having a crack, but they are also hoping for something to happen rather than creating it

    Gosh freo are pathetic. Playing at home & can't even beat a Collingwood team that's resting a number of good players.

    If they were based in Melbourne, they'd be copping a lot more heat

    Yes, being very reactive and not proactive.

    The Pies work off the ball is off the charts. That’s why they’re in so many games.

    Good to see Freo have been closely copying the Mbourne strategy of bombing it mindlessly i50 to a opposition player.

    Imitation is the highest form of flattery!

    He seems to have plateaud since leaving us. And still rarely takes a clean one-grab mark

    • 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?

      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?
