No. Stand by means wait.

Story should be rolling out soon that Caracalla mentioned dusty is out on sen.

I didn't hear the interview but others have said that he didn't sound overly confident but never mentioned he was actually out.

I reckon Richmond will roll the dice and play him.

I'm sort of thinking they'll err towards miles playing seeing as he went ok in the Vfl... but if you're right it begs the question... which would demonlanders prefer? Dusty underdone, or miles? Not a simple one.

Let's be honest... the pencil is a [censored] spud 

How i wish there was a 'dislike' button.  Poor form to call a loyal servant of our club that.

You have no idea how important he is to our team right now.

What's that?  5 posts to make the same point?  You start off 'worried' and now you are 'honest'...

Spencer is not Gawn.  Nankervis is NOT Sandilands.

Nankervis is an OK ruckman, Spencer at least that, if not more.  Give him a chance.

for a long time lurker and a short time troller, you are off to a solid start

Tough one. Think I would rather Miles. Dusty's strength up forward in the wet could be crucial if he plays mostly there. 

 

I could see him kicking 3-4 whereas Miles won't have the same impact

I tend to agree. I do like Miles as a player though, and he takes away some of our in and under dominance.

Sun shines out of the entire club and all our players according to some here

No there's a difference between looking at the club critically and just coming on here to stir up BS. 3 new accounts in a couple of days, let's see how long you all stick around for after Mondays game.

Dusty underdone is still dangerous. I think he's turned a corner as a player and might lack explosiveness but he's strong in the air so Hardwick might put him forward. He's a danger regardless.

He is not the greatest but as ruckman go he is no spud either. Nankervis is hardly worthy of a permanent hard tag.  Just needs a solid ruckman to compete against him and neutralise (or win) as many contests as possible and compete with him in the air in marking contests. Although it would be helpful, you don't always need a superstar ruckman to win matches of footy as long as they can break even most of the time in the one on one contests. Anything more (goals, goal assists, tackles, hitting up leads etc) is a big bonus

Imagine the team meeting with Goody telling the players we're going to tag Nankervis. 

Jones and Viney would gently escort him from the premises while some rookies clear out his office.

Will see what happens Monday and I hope jake plays well bit o think it is a huge danger area

Their midfield are still hard ball winners, which I think we trump them in even with Dusty there. Prestia adds some grunt but Caddy is a spud. If we were playing GWS with the same ruck setup I'd be worried, but, as we knew with Spencer, our mids simply need to go up a notch to win around the stoppages.  Best Spencer can do is contest and bring the ball down into a 50/50, which is what he did against Freo for the whole game. Our mids let us down in that situation. A lot of people overlooking the performance by Spencer so as long as he brings that and our mids perform we're okay.

It's one of their improved areas. But tagging a ruckman isn't a thing. Even if it was a thing, Nankervis is hardly Polly Farmer or Max Gawn.

So a large number of people attacked me for my opinion but big Nank was best on ground and the reason they won 

No mention of Spencer getting hurt? That's two dodgy posts now Jayd.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
