Yet to see anything from Dawes to get excited about in the red & blue. I'm hoping he will look better with Hogan / Clarke in the team, but until either of those two are back I really couldn't care less when he is set to play.

Misson admitted that they rushed him back too early last year and he suffered beacuse of this. I still think he can be a good player for us.

Lets not bag the Saints until after we play them.

Previously we've gone into years with expectations that our kids may drag us up the ladder. Any rise now won't be on the back of kids, which will only improve their development. We know that Vince,

There's one certainty around Round 1, I think - in the hours immediately following the game Demonland is going to go off.

He is really good at playing the second fiddle forward, he runs hard, creates space for the other forwards, and is smart, knows how to drag his opponent out of the play

Not to mention he can split a pack in two. Even if he doesnt mark it he can rag doll the opposition out of the contest and let JKH gather it.

I thought Dawes was fantastic in the games I saw, given he was being fed by a non existent mid field. His work rate was inspirational. He would run to the wing on a lead and then run back chasing a kick. He is a genuine power forward and provides leadership through example. His injury is a worry but I am confidently anticipating big things from him given our new midfield. Any two of Dawes, Clark and Hogan on the field at once will give us targets we haven't had for years.

Dave Mission just said that there is a good chance Hogan, Dawes, Jamar, Gawn and Taspcott are a chance to be right for round 1 and Clark and Garland are tracking well, some positive news if it's factual

Why do they do this to us. Just be quiet go along and don't say they'll be back until they're back.

Yep and they're only 1 flag from equalling us on the premiership ladder and bundling us out of the top 4.

That is seven months away dr.

This would be my side

B L: Georgiou - Frawley - Terlich

H B: Grimes - McDonald - Dunn

C L: Watts - Tyson - Cross

H F: Michie - Fitzpatrick - Trengove

F L: Howe - Pedersen- Kennedy - Harris

Foll: Spencer - Vince - N.Jones

I/C: Clisby - Bail - Toumpus Sub: Viney

Emerg: MJones - Mckenzie - Nicholson

The only change I would have would be Dawes for Pedersen.

Will be an absolute [censored] fight i think.. The saints have no midfield and we have no forward line..

I agree re Dawes. If both Dawes and Clark are in the same side it would almost be like the days of Nieta and ox!

Throw in howe and kennedy-harris and theres almost abit of Lyon and Farmer.. Haha if only!!

Reckon we will see a repeat OD of Cats 08 & Pies 11. They are going to be very strong for early to late part of the season and will look invincable for a lot of the year.

I believe one of the other contenders will build as the year goes on and win it

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    After two disappointing back to back losses the Demons have the bye in Round 14 and then face perennial cellar dweller North Melbourne at the MCG on Saturday night in Round 15. Who comes in and who goes out?
