Jaded, fair's fair, Bell did the worng thing and made himself and the club look ridiculous - Yze (who you will bake at will) has stood up to Barry Hall in the past and when it was Bell's turn he came out of it looking like a girl.

    If ever there was a need for a hard bodied senior player to go and stand up to an opposition player then this was it, instead Bell was left out to dry. Very disappointing.

    have not seen the inncident , and i would like to... i dont encourage acts of stupidity but i do appreciate them when team mates get involved....

    Please, we hang Davey out to dry when he remonstrates with the opposition and gets suspended, but Belly is weak for not getting sucked in by Brogan?

    i guess he must have never played indoor netball

    I'm not suggesting anyone whack the bloke which is what Davey did, which was dumb, but at least let the opposition know that we won't be physically intimidated. Allowing yourselves to be pushed around is a quick route to regular thumpings.

    u might not suggest it.... but i will..... someone should come in a take him out.... carefull not to start an all in brawl.... and try not to get urself reported.... but this drives fear in the oppositions eyes.... i would not be dissapointed at all if he were reported.... as i was not last week with davey....

    If anyone has some footage of the game handy I invite you to look at this.

    yes he did. brogan made him look like a bit of a girl. brogan has a few screws loose and he is a big unit. I dont know what bell could have done for a split second i think brogan lost control. bells reaction actually stopped him from cutting him in half.

    HA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Take another look at it...

    Have any of you guys ever actually BEEN scared before? What happens? Your eyes go wide, you puff out your chest, and you angle your body ready for a fight or to scamper. Bell was JUSTIFIABLY confused when Brogan came up to him. He went to bump Wilson, and when he missed his arm went out and Wilson ran through it. He TOTALLY took a dive, and it all happened in Bell's blind spot...

    He looked like he was lost (which is an expression we're used to with Belly, bless his cotton socks), but that was not the face of a man frightened that he was going to be hurt by a ruckman who needs anger-management classes.

    Not only are you all making a mountain out of a molehill, but I don't believe there was a molehill there in the first place.

    The point is, as Nasher rightly points out, whether you are right or wrong, or whether emotion has gotten ahead of itself, or even sometimes when a player takes a dive you MUST be there to support your team-mates... The message it sends to supporters, coaches and most importantly the guys you're playing with is that if you throw yourself in there and HURT an opposition player, you will have to deal with the retaliatory strike on your own... Does this make the young players go in 100% every time? Well... with Belly, he likes to hit hard simply because he likes to hit hard... He's been doing it on his own all year, I doubt he'll stop trying to lay players out because of this...

    What worries me is that this is not the first time this year a player has had to go it alone.

    It would be nice if players actually stood up for each other (Ironically the young players are the ones in the side who mainly do in Jones, Beamer, Brock and Col) but honestly I couldn't really care less what Belly did as long as he goes when it is his turn to go.

    And BrownlowBruce, please stop condoning what Davey did, I love Flash but he seriously needs to stop worrying about his tagger and doing the best he can going hard at the BALL.

    Getting reported like that is just stupid.

    • 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?
