Crumbs!  Is that all??  How are we expected to win with only three players??

Two Vagg. It’s just Tyson’s luck to be the held over emergency.

So from who is on the plane .. we can confirm the one change ...

Smith in

Pedersen: Out

cannot question that change. Smith offers more at ground level and seems to gel unlike Pedersen with the other two big forwards.

Big game needed from Hogan amongst others.

Strangely ambivalent to this game ... the QB game pricked my balloon of optimism well and truly.

Go Dees

Just reading that the Netball comp now awards bonus points for quarters won in an effort to maintain spectator interest.

With our record this year perhaps MFC should get into Gil's ear ?

Correct Diamond, never made it that far. As you know, I spent time in Italy, Spain, Cuba , France as well as Idaho and other American states, but never Russia.  They obviously know nothing about Hemingway so it’s just a gimmick to get in the gullible tourists, particularly my fellow countrymen who as you know are not all that discerning regarding food choices or literary interests. Probably a hamburger joint.  So should be avoided at all costs.  One thing I did do when traveling was eat the local village food usually camouflaged in casseroles and stews. Enjoy your travels and have a drink for poor old crumbly Hem.

Fair changes this week.  I reckon they will play Harmes predominantly at half forward with Tyson going in to the midfield rotation.  I know some wanted Jeffy in the side but I don't think his form at Casey has warranted a recall.

Hannan & Pedders easily fought it out for W.O.G. last week IMO.  Spargo not great either but substantially better than Hannan and a tad unlucky.

Smith a big improvement on Pedders IF he can stay on the park and he can manage to bring much of the form he showed against the Crows.

Weid/Smith for Pedo was always going to happen.  Pedo just doesn't gel with Hogan and it messed with our structure. 

Tyson has been playing well with the main issue being how to get him in the mix without upsetting balance.  This may allow us to play Viney as a stopper instead of Brayshaw and get our inside mid mix right again. 

 

I'm ready disapointed with Garlett. He is a better player than Casey but he just hasn't clicked this year. I don't think others have gone past him, more that he hasn't brought it. Can he find it again?

 

Other than Lever, this is our best 22 right now.  Form might push Garlett or Spargo in, but we must be pretty happy with what we've got on the park.

 The more I reflect the more I think this game depends on the ruck and clearance battle. Collingwood worked us out there last week and that cost us the game. Can we reinstate our dominance in that area? Did we learn a plan B for when Gawn is getting beaten?

Not enough changes for mine Petty should be in we are too small down back.

Pedo had to be dropped he was hopeless against the pies, I don't think he will get a game again.

Good to see Tyson and Tim.Smith back.

Spargo out is interesting because we haven't replaced him, we have no crumbing forward.

    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

    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.
