I'll start this off, today, I would love to see us:

- Working for each other; one thing I've noticed this season is that players are not running hard enough to shepherd for their teammates, this must change.

- Take the game on, use the corridor. Dare i say it, I'd love to see an element of Bailey's game, where we play on at all costs and take risks.

- Move fast from the kick-ins, don't wait for Garland or someone to lumber back to take the kick-in, i want us to move it as fast as we can.

- Play the Jack Watts, Jeremy Howe swingset (one on the wing, one forward and rotating)

- Give Dawes and Fitz a chance, honour their leads, and trust that kicking to them whilst they are running at full-tilt is a better option then putting it on top of someone like Davey's head in a contested situation.

Most of all, I'd like to see us walking off the ground with our heads held high, knowing that we gave it our best shot.

......Oh, and this may be too much to ask, but I'd love to see no more 'Sack Neeld' threads for just one day. There's one with thousands of replies already, use that. Cheers

At all kick ins I'd get Dunn to torp it to the centre.

At least we might get a chance of kicking a sausage on the fast break.

Our kick ins are too slow and sloppy.

Worth a shot

I would like the umpire to act like a primary school teacher and make some of Hawthorn's players swap teams to make things more even.

Less than 100 point loss and no injuries to young players. Only realistic hope I have.

Not fussed about the scoreboard

AFL standard effort would be a pleasant change

I found it interesting that the Hawks coaching staff had more games accumulated at Melbourne than our entire list and coaching staff

There are actually 5 of them that have had a Demon connection

6 of their 9 coaching staff have been involved with demons - Clarkson, Beveridge, Fagan, Yze, Bruce and Ratten

The positive is if we get flogged and ends Neelds coaching career.

Lol there is one every week.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
