MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 11


Demonland

Recommended Posts

A random question, which i thought i'd ask here rather than start a new thread.

I'll be in Berlin for a few weeks from next week. Does anyone have some ideas about the best way to watch footy overseas (oe ven in Berlin). I checked out the AFL site and it is $12 a week for live games which is ludicrous (how moronic is that in terms of promoting the sport - it should be free!). I have an AFL live pass which enables tablet live viewing and access to replays but i assume i will get geo blocked.

Thanks in advance for ideas.

Reckon these blokes'd know:

Let us know if you find a place. I'll be doing the same over there next month.

Have seen Toumpas put his body on the line a few times over the last month.

Have seen Terlich pick and choose when to go in the past

An interesting/strange bench: I/C: Billy Stretch, Viv Michie, Aidan Riley, Alex Neal-Bullen

Special moment for ANB and Stretch when they go out together (and when they relay the ball down the middle to get ANB his first goal! :rolleyes:)

Let's hope they do better than the previous two best mates to run out on to the ground together for the MFC (Trengove and Tapscott).

I like the changes as the Saints' strength is their midfield and we've brought in basically five mids to help counter this. We still have more than enough quality, on paper, to beat them. Have a good feeling that we will.

Glad to see Stretch and grimes back. Interested to see what Bullen can do. Gee I hope we can win.

Just another fact. It was a year ago this weekend we beat the bummers in that awesome game. I still like watching that last play where salem kicked the sealer. How we miss him off the half back.

It's Neal-Bullen. 'Neal' is not a middle name. As a person with a double-barrelled surname, that stuff is important. :P I like the rest of the post though.

Fitzy dropped from the 18 into an emergency? ouch. We look pretty undersized now, then again the Saints are too. Could mean Pedo goes back at times, and Watts goes forward. Thinking Stretch should be sub unless he's improved his fitness a lot from last time he was in the team

McDonald will play on Riewoldt and Dunn will take Bruce. Howe and Grimes will probably take those mid size type forwards (Grimes on Membrey for example) and that will have it covered. We've made the mistake before of going in too tall and I think this week we've got the mix just right.

We're actually fortunate that Gilbert and Markworth have relegated Schneider and Sinclair back to the rookie list this week. Scheider's had a really good year, and Sinclair's a good young player.

For the 1st time this year we've got the right balance of talls and smalls in the backline. I'd play Watts at half back and Howe in the forward line again. And thank christ Fitzpatrick's out. A bewildering selection last week.

Whilst I think we've improved the balance of talls in our side, I'm surprised Fitzy has been pulled from the 18. They have Riewoldt, Bruce and Membrey in the side. Membrey's only 188 but to me he'd have been perfect for Dunn to run off. Instead, we have to put Dunn on Bruce, giving up a 5cm height advantage, and who plays on Membrey (without Garland)? Howe's gone forward, so Grimes?

Is the 2nd part 'Koff'?

    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,
