Any news on Gawn? It's not an ACL is it?

Nothing like that, Dom.  I believe he either has right knee soreness or it could also be hamstring related.  Not good, obviously, but could be a whole lot worse.

Weideman will probably have to do some rucking for the rest of the game.

We should look to read Smith's taps as Watts won't be able to beat him.

Gawn was walking, so I doubt it was a knee.

What's the story with Gawn?

I'm not able to watch the game.

Last comment said hamstring... better that than a knee

I've also been super impressed with Nibbler.  He has been given more midfield minutes this week and he is having a really positive impact.  That last pass over 50 metres to Petracca was, dare I say it, centimeter perfect.  Another one who has improved over the summer and is reaping the rewards.

Hopefully not too bad! I guess Spencer may get a few games now….

Or just jump into him early as every other ruckman does to Gawn?

Hope all that tough work they put into Jack near the end of pre-season pays off. He'll need to put in a massive effort to ruck the rest of the game.

Re-adjust the forward line with Weids @ CHF and Bull @ FF?

And can we please [censored] kick straight

Have wasted a lot of opportunities. Should be a few goals up. Dangerwood quiet but I'm nervous we haven't capitalised if they start to exert some influence.

Hunt is  developing into a gun. How good was that gather from  the errant  selwood  kick and  he  casually  pumps it  back over his head  for a   goal.  That alone has made my day

Let's replace these umpires with 3 poodles. They wouldn't do a worse job of it and you can pay them with a few cans of dog food ( which is what these clowns are worth) Respect umpires ??????? No, no not this lot.

Errors left, right & centre ...

1thest Quarter ...

  • ANB misses stsan absolute simmtter.
  • Vince gives away a dliberate OOB - goal to the cats results
  • 4 demons fly for the ball in the hot-spot - cats crumb a goal
  • Jetta mismatched against Hawkins - goal to cats
  • Gawn bowls over a cats player late - downfield free and a goal to the cats

2nd Quarter ...

  • Watts plays from behind in a one on one - cats rebound and score a goal
  • Smith misses an absolute sitter
  • Garlett should have grabbed the ball on the wing - he didn't and a goal to the cats results.
  • Harmes misses a very gettable shot a goal
  • Garlett misses a straightforward chest mark - another missed opportunity.
  • Stretch misses a very gettable shot at goal
  • Weideman misses a very gettable shot at goal
  • Gawn gives away a free with a crude tackle - a goal to the cats results.
  • Vince pushed off the ball far too easily in the backline - a goal to the cats results
  • Kent misses a very gettable shot at goal
  • Petracca misses a very gettable shot at goal

Despite all of the above we're only 3 points down. 

 

First quarter was putrid in terms of instensity and the way we allowed ourselves to be worked under the ball too easily.

As good as Salem was last week thar first quarter was pretty ordinary down back. Doesnt appear to have a defensive bone in there and looks better suited forwar of centre. 

Weids will need to get on the bike in the break to warm up.

Not sure how Omac ended up on Hawkins at one point early. Then nev at one stage also.

TMac to Hawkins as much as possible. Keep Salem forward of centre. Get the Bull to lead out Higher up and leave weid Jeffy out back.

We are quicker and better than them On The spread off HB. Hunt & Watts have been monumental. Has Tyson had a touch???

Just need Big M to start neautralising/winning a few more contests , keep up the intensity and kick a little straighter and this one is VERY winnable

Looks like hamstring the way he was walking. He was like limping on his tip toes towards the bench. 

Hmmm big job for Watts now.

I am finding it hard to watch as well our kicking on goal and the extremely poor umpiring decisions are killing us, they better straighten up in the second half. Gawny's hurt his hammy, damn. Go Dee's!!!

Lots to like, but finding ways to not capitalise on what's going right.

And of those who missed, many were the kids - Weideman, Petracca, Stretch, Harmes etc.  Doesn't excuse it, but hopefully Goody went to each one and told them that they owe us a goal in the second half.  Something to learn from.

Cmon Wattsy. He has been great so far, and he has the chance to play a career defining game in this second half.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.
