I'd bite through bullet now and bring him in for Spargo.

Thought the same, spargo seems nowhere today.

 

We’re in this. Boys are having a crack but so far it’s just that the Lions are a better skilled team. Simple as that. But they are not unbeatable. We can win this.

‘Just’ need to clean up our skills, make sure we take our chances and keep up the pressure until the very end. AND DO NOT THE LIONS GET ANY CHEAPIES.

Just that, and we could be a shot.

    Can’t complain too much with the effort so far.

    But this is the gameday thread so I need to let all the negativity out. The quicker we can replace Sharp and Spargo with proper AFL players the better. We are wasting Windsor down back who by the way has suddenly become a huge ball butcher. Get him playing in the right spot would be a start. May has been OK but what the hell was that effort on Gardiner?

    I honestly like AJ. I’m sure his stats suck but he gives us something.

    Just quietly Clarry is …. back?

    I'm with you on AJ.

    Give him a couple of games.

    The desperation and physicality is there.

    We're still in this and stopped the bleeding.

    But as someone mentioned, we seem to work so hard for nil return kicking to 1 on 3 contests in our f50.

    We're playing the boundary so much. It's incredibly frustrating and must be exhausting.

    We've played a good team who use the corridor last week and a great team who use the corridor this week.

    We need to be able to learn from them and cut them open same way.

    Please make this the last time we see both Sharp and Spargo in the same team.

    Both need to go.

    Is Spargo playing on Zorko?

    If he is, his first half is doubly pathetic.

    7 possies with probably 6 turnovers.

    Zorko has had 18 creative possessions.

    Windsors pre season or lack thereof is behind his inconsistency but agree HB is not for him. I’m not really sure where he is best suited.

    From memory he always had question marks on his kicking skills.

    Well that would be the wing where he played some scintillating footy last season along with a number of fabulous goals on the run.

    Not sure why we're playing him off HB. Another SG special

    We were unlucky with that rebound. Should have been a deep 50 entry

    Shocking HB attempt from Tracc

    Done a few good things but offset by the bog ordinary

    The Lions are SO confident we will turn it over that they're keeping one or two numbers ahead of the ball readying for the sling shot off of our regular turnovers and clangers in transition

    Would help a lot if Pretty at least made an attempt to compete in a marking contest. 2 weak efforts so far this term

    • 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?
