wELL I CAN SEE FROM THESE REPLIES WHY YOUR NOT RECRUITERS.

sAYING TO PROMOTE JACE BODE IS SCARY, AS A SANDY MEMBER NOT A MELBOURNE MEMBER AFTER TWO YEARS ON THE ROOKIE LIST HE WILL MISS OUT ON SELECTION IN SANDY'S BEST 22. hE HAS HAD SOME GOOD WEEKS BUT STILL ISN'T A CERTAINTY WEEK TO WEEK. IF YOU ARE LOOKING LONG TERM YOU WOULD SELECT HUGHES AHEAD OF BODE. HE HAS MISSED THE PAST 8 WEEKS AND I THINK WAS DUE TO RETURN LAST WEEK OR THIS WEEK. AND WHEN IS FULLY FIT WILL RETURN TO THE ONES. jACE BODE REMINDS ME OF A HEADLESS CHOOK RUNNING AROUND! NEAVES AND HUGHES SHOW TO ME WHAT THE ROOKIE LIST IS ABOUT, PLAYERS WHO JUST MISSED OUT ON GETTING DRAFTED BUT WHO A CONTINUELY IMPROVING, I THINK BOTH PLAYERS WILL BE PICKED UP BY OTHER CLUBS.

    Wheatley has been a very valuable player this season - long accurate kicking, run, marking, kick-ins. WTH delist him?

    Miller AND Bizzell AND Ferguson - need at least one of them, my choice Bizzell to direct the defence if Rivers remains an injury worry. Need some experience, even if he is not a star.

    You also mention Bode - have you ever had a look at him, especially over the last few weeks. A tough hard balanced HBF / BP. reads the play well. WILL be a good player NB if Whelan doesn't get back to his best.

    I agree, keep Bizzel.

    I know he is getting older but he has been really good this year. He is talented, puts his body on the line, plays hard every week for his position and tries his heart out for this club.

    For god sake drop Godfrey please, trades are more imprtant than de-listing for us, we need to trade some at least one key guy for something new.

    I think the mfc have played their cards already. Dropping Bizzell when he hasn't done much wrong.

    Curtis is right. To promote Bode is a waste of a spot. Hughes is skinny skinny but has good hands n kick. I personally will pass.

    Neaves a goer as he does have some talent. Will that talent develop in the next few years to be top class, who knows?

    Jamar's the classic case of talent not developing. Really thought he was gold earlier in his career when he dominated in Sandy.

    Most people are saying to get rid of these four players. I would like to stand here and stick up for them.

    Ryan Ferguson - Along with Rivers, one of the most exciting back line prospects Melbourne has had for a decade. Ferguson was awesome in 2004-2005 before suffering a string of injuries both last year and most of this year. He's back in the team and I expect him to be a great player next year. You can't say delist someone who hasn't played for two years due to injuries. He's a young player and still has plenty to give. When he last played for Melbourne he was 19, give him a break.

    Your comments on the other three have some varying degrees of merit but this is just fantasyland stuff. Exciting prospect ! Awesome ! Ferg has at no stage been awesome. In fact in all the time he's been here there are only two games that have caused me to wonder whether he had a future. His first appearance in a pre-season cup game when he did an excellent negating job on Richo and the Broadbridge game against Essendon when the footy just kept on finding him. Ferg is courageous but his skills are moderate, his strength in contests inadequate and he loses his feet far too often. He is an excellent footballer at his level and that level is not the AFL.

    • 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?
