I am only naming them after the event. We are a cursed club. It has to change. No club in history has had to contend with what this club has been dealt this year.

Not sure that Fitzroy fans would agree with you Redleg.

They got dealt some pretty crappy hands in their last two years.

    On another note , it never fails to amaze me how often we draft a player and then he is out for most of his first or second season. Just some examples recently Taggart, Gawn, Evans, Gysberts, Tapscott, Cook, Jurrah, Fitzpatrick, Spencer, Tynan etc.

    How could I have forgotten the Captain- Jack Grimes.

    Agreed. Didn't help that the AFL was dealing most of those cards from the bottom of the pack........

    I am not certain on wyl, you may well be right of course he may be going to both.

    If you are trying to bait me DC it works every time with N0.7

    I am going to the Brisbane game with my brother who is a Gabba Member so we get to eat and sit among the upper crust of Brisbane.

    It will not look very good to be seen lying on the floor in a fetal position crying.

    So please No.7 at Casey this weekend.

    PS Once again I forgot to use chrome!

    Still think he could make it. I would play him in the FP this week in place of Flash. I would tell him if he doesn't apply a strong forward press he has no future at the club. Think that would stir him up.

    I hope you're right redleg. he does have a lot of good features but so far i tend towards od's pov (though not as strongly)

    I doubt there is anything that would stir him up, you cannot pull up your socks if you do not have any on Redleg

    Threat of delisting may work wonders.

    Every time I see Lewis Jetta play I feel sick, thinking how we could have had him as a rookie, after Neville's mum told us about him.

    Surely not Daisy . He has never been a fan of the youth policy to my knowledge.

    I trust that he is not involved in the drug trade either-unless as a customer.

    Other than that-you would have to wear a "Kim Bradley won in Vegas " T-shirt to get locked up there surely?

    I heard that Lewis shadowed Keiran Jack all pre season - has bought his fitness to elite levels.

    I can't help but wonder which of our underperforming players - JB, Morts etc would lift to a surprising level given the same chance.

    That is a cultural thing and Neeld and Craig are attempting to change ours. Near enough is not good enough.

    Sorry Redleg no amount of fitness will cover a lack of skill and desire.

    Back to WA for me.

    Lets face it we are third last on the ladder 5 years into a rebuild.

    We must have a number of players that are not AFL standard.

    No. 7 is not on his own but in 9 weeks time 5-6 players should be for the high jump.

    IMHO no7 is in the lead group

    No, it was aimed at some of the ridiculous ideas on here lately.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
