Most enjoyable Captain’s Run ever.

13 year bump. That kind of bump will give you nosebleeds

The double header on Friday night is due to having one less game on Mother’s Day. That one looks to be a staple in the fixture. After Friday night, Ess/GWS and Adelaide/Brisbane should be good games.

GC usually have their best fortnight of the year in Darwin and then fall off the cliff. Therefore tipping Norf would he be beyond brave. Freo could definitely knock off Sydney in Perth if they’re at their best.

Unfortunately yes

Blue & white vertical stripes with a kangaroo logo?

By my calculations, the Blues haven't had a clean win over us since 2016.

After last years final, we have a gift for them:

Time for some payback for last years final

Blues will have had 3 games in 13. Same as us when we played the Lions. I’m not totally convinced by the significance of fatigue factor in the lead up to the Lions. If there is any merit in it then the game plan should be to run them off their feet.

I was calm and confident we would beat Geelong last week. This week I'm not so confident and that's purely off the back of a 5 day break and nothing else. Carlton have also brought in some solid ins and should not be underestimated. They've brought in Hollands after a week off who'll be fresh so this could really go down to the wire. It's good to have Bowey back. We've underestimated how important he is to our back half and how much of a loss he's been this year so far.

Yeah I didn't mind Deakyn to be honest. Actually surprised we didn't give him a go. The games I watched of him at VFL level he seemed consistent and I thought with him being a running defender he could have been a good one two punch alongside Bowey. He was also pretty composed and measured down back. I remember one of the games I watched he completely shut down Anthony McDonald-Tipungwuti and i thought that was going to be the next step into AFL level. Won Casey's best and fairest last year but was unfortunately still delisted. Coaches obviously think very differently to us nuffy fans.

We owe them for last year

Pity at this stage, still time though. Dazzle, interested in your thoughts on Deakin Smith compared to AMW off half back. Had high hopes for Deakin.

It's Game Day and the Demons are once again headlining another blockbuster at the MCG to kick off the round of footy. The Dees take on the Blues and have the opportunity to win their third game on the trot to solidify a spot in the Top 4 in addition to handing the Blues their third consecutive defeat to bundle them out of the Top 8.

Disposal by foot isn't great for starters. They're obviously looking for a consistent performance from AMW. Whilst the stat sheet may look good on his behalf it's his ball use and lack of composure at times at VFL that stands out the most. In a high paced pressure environment at AFL level this simply doesn't stand up. Still think he's better use up forward.

I don't have a witty comeback for that.

"Goon" "Moonface" Pull your [censored] head in WCW. There's having a debate and disagreeing with people, and then there's you who constantly gets personal like this when someone remotely questions anything in the slightest that may differ to your opinion. Not once did anyone get personal with you but here you go again showing your true colours. Some people like to come on training threads purely for the footy content and some like to come for a bit of banter, that's fine. If some prefer either then absolutely fine, there is no right or wrong way about it. Why you feel the need for name calling is absolutely beyond me. Sort this stuff out @Demonland

us? puddy tatts bloods? aints gw$? footscray? gc17? filth crom? i reckon flagmantle can knock off sydney and norf to surprise gc17 in a slipper game in darwin, but i'm not brave enough to tip either

Smoke and Mirrors. The way of the world.

true, but that wouldn't be consistent with us taking disco a few years back - we didn't REALLY need a tall defender, but there he is a couple of years later...in our forward line...

But surely the mid season draft is surely different than the national and rookie drafts. I would see it as absolutely role / needs driven

Thanks for the effort to get there again WC. Entertaining stuff and a great read, even the DL hoopla 😄 Kudos on the Bowey scoop. Hoping to make the next one. If you're going feel free to PM me with any coffee preferences beforehand!
