We will win this not because we are on a roll or the Saints are not as good as us but because we now have players with better skills who are not mentally damaged.

To me there is still an element of lack of confidence if the mindset isn't right. And we are still prone to awful errors that lead to turnovers and help feed a poor mindset. We have improved, undoubtedly. But there will still be hiccups with this crew. 

 

 

Lotto numbers please..:unsure:

Just PM me ;)

Another inside Mid which kinda means that you have options tpo use another player on the outside which is where we got smashed!

You don't mind calling me a child and if that is your response then put up a credible one yourself re selection oh oracle of the ages!!

Now just to show you what I mean, If IF we had of won many on this site would have said Jesse Hogan made the difference! As it was would St. Kilda have won without Reiwoldt?? I doubt it!

Food for thought Oracle I await your Response with interest

"The man with the child in his eyes"

I am out of the country for the next two games AF so how does this grab you?

A win this week followed by a loss the following.

We can beat  GCS they have been devastated by injury and the Dogs have too much talent for us.

Realistic, but I reckon we might give them both a run for their money. You could argue the Dogs are hamstrung (pun intended) by injuries as well. As someone else mentioned, I'd say we're more likely to win the next two and then get run off our feet by a quicker Brisbane team.

We're very much on track for finals if we can win 2 of the next 3 though.

Sorry AF I find that hard to agree to. We are a ten win team this year you saw on Saturday that we can still be very ordinary.

We have a much improved list but still have a lot of wet behind the ears kids who need another couple of years before they propel us into finals games.

Please tell me who miraculously makes the transition to becoming an outside player because we brought in another inside player.

Your argument has merit if you say we should have brought in Billy Stretch as he is pure outside run but as we got smashed on the outside Oliver would not have been answer to that.

Brayshaw gets more outside ball than Oliver does ( and I'm not saying Brayshaw should have played either)

Agreed. But if we do get to the 12 game mark, judging by the tightness of the competition this year, that could get us in. And don't worry, I'm with you, we'll certainly have games that we lose where those younger players will run out of gas and our 'leaders' will fail to stand up.

Play Bernie HBF and release Lamumba upfield! Oliver plays as a mid!

Another option Hunt plays also as an outside runner upfield!! 

Plenty of options there!

    2024 Player Reviews: #36 Kysaiah Pickett

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
