Women have changed, just like the game is.

 

People and power, watta lousy mix...  aggressive power is a thing of ugliness.

Women have changed.....me too

"The Demons are also planning on a return to AFL football for gun midfielder Jack Viney next week".

Not sure if the AFL fo JV is poetic license by the journo or was said by Goodwin.  Either way, looking good!

I agree.

I also think he's gotten ahead of himself. I get the impression he thinks/knows he's an A grader that will soon become elite, while in reality he's overall output is that of a B grader so far. For example, he's missed far too many shots for goal this year.

I like what he's produced so far, but do think he's overrated in context to his performances, especially to start this season.

I remember a host on either SEN or 3AW mentioned that Petracca was aiming to be a Hall of Fame player. That pricked my ears.

Lastly, I can't believe I'm saying this but I feel Salem is a bigger loss than Petracca (assuming he doesn't get up this week) for the time being. We'll miss Salem's solid ball use while Petracca's can be a bit hit and miss.

Just because the kid has a bit of swagger, you think he has got ahead of himself??

The kid is a star!

As I have, we all are, it's a time of change.  According to prophets...  each and every one of them.

I asked JV direct, he said another week of full training without a hiccup and he is ready to be selected

Has all the credentials of a future star, just looks like he’s cruising, hoping he doesn’t turn out to be another Sylvia. Still a kid so am patient but just noticing a few things that’s all. If Salem can ever get a decent run at it he’ll be very important for us, HBF is his position. Surprisingly goes pretty hard at it too.

According to the presser Goody is confident both Hogan an Petracca will play.

In -       Trac

Out -   Salem (inj)

ANB looks like he will get another reprieve, very lucky.  Unless we bring in Garlett for him but he doesnt deserve a call up.

Vince might be rested with the third game in 11-12 days
