There will be no Demonland match report on the Port Adelaide v Melbourne NAB Cup Week 4 game because:
A we had nobody there who was willing to write it up;
B it was a glorified practice match that nobody cares about; and
C we were dreadful.
There's a report here from a bloke called Michaelangelo Rucci who writes for the Adelaide Advertiser and the Herald Sun. It doesn't provide much analysis about what happened - John Butcher reported as Port Adelaide beats Melbourne in practice match but there's probably enough from our point of view.
Hopefully, Colin Sylvia's injury isn't too bad and he recovers in time for our round 2 game in Perth.
And sorry to do this to Matt Burgan but the quote of the week comes from his report on the melbournefc.com.au website - Sylvia suffers back injury
"On positive for Neeld was the performance of ruckman Mark Neeld, who had 45 hit outs. "
Talk about the coach having to do everything at the club!
