Sad,   but if we make it 4 losses in a row this week vs Freo it will be clear most of the list doesn't care about finals or success and have no respect for the club or supporters.

 

I think your anxiety around missing finals and your love of the red and blue and how much it means for you for the red and blue to be in finals to validate your existence - is clouding your judgements towards  some assortment of dudes who happen to be drafted into some red and blue colours and are also striving for the same success... 

Good grief - no respect for supporters? don't care about finals? 

4 losses in a row is an exemplar of that? Really? 

The players don't play for me - they've never met me - nor do they fist pump pre match and go - let's do it for the supporters... that'd be media speak.

You can't tell me or anyone on the forum straight faced that the effort hasnt been there - perhaps our own expectations are misguided of where the group is really at right now - perhaps THAT's what needs to change.

Agree and feel aside from missing Lever, Spargo would have been handy the last two weeks!

Not the week for two first games in Kielty & Baker, particularly after Petty last week.

Outs: Petty Tyson Hannan

Ins: Frost Stretch & Garlett or Spargo

All faster than who they are replacing, and am tempted Spargo for Weideman or ANB.

Just because had a poor game doesn't mean every debutant is is going to play poorly.

Keilty has had 4 years in the system and Baker is a pacey wingman exactly what we need. Totally different players to Petty.

they put the simon's selections video up early on youtube and then yanked it down

garlett, spargo, frost and one other (can't remember who) for hannan, petty, weideman, and tyson

_ playing in Darwin isn't nonsense, but not having a bye the week after is... These two have to work in hand, or it is troublesome.

.

I'm pushing for us to Bookend Naidoc Week in July,,, in the Alice.

A Friday or Saturday night game in Alice, to welcome Naidoc Week.

And a closing Twilight Sunday match.

... Both games Free2Air .

A fortnight away in JULY in the Territory. 

 

Hopefully its school holidays at the time?  This would be excellent for the players at this time of year, as a freshen,,, up in the warmth.

More power to positive innovative ideas! Yes school holidays commenced Monday 2nd of July through until Friday 19th of July. According to Goody's press conference team are scheduled to arrive today, Thursday and train at Marrara stadium 10:30 am tomorrow morning. Weather has been warm and windy daytime early Gurrulwa perhaps, today winds are more moderate though. Evenings swing back to more like Dinidjanggama with heavy dew forming. Awaiting selection news hopefully skilled footballers like Billy Stretch will get a call up and be on the flight up here. Your top-end correspondent team are both basking in the most pleasant dry season climes awaiting Saturday nights game with anticipation.

One good thing is they have gone smaller which is needed on a slippery deck.

If this group do not show up this week and lose, I sense the club should prepare for a hammering from traumatised supporters.

Just for a change ! 

Could try total silence, now that would be a change.

Fortunately, a win coming up to temper the mood.

Tough on Petty and Weideman to come in and go straight out.

But the replacements are much better suited for the humid/slippery conditions which will favour small and speedy players.

dunno if it was stretch - i was watching and then the vid disappeared as they removed it

ch 7 won't be happy that they've gone early and broken the 6.25pm moratorium on team changes

They've done it a few times on different platforms...

Tough on Petty, but he had to go.  The selectors should apologize to the boy for his original selection and tell him that he is not suited to the ground or weather conditions. Any lie will do.  He needs support and encouragement.

Agree Ernest, among the best performed from last Saturday's Casey Demons televised game.

Melbourne is shorter odds at $1.83 to win by 40+ than it is to win by 1-39 (around $2.10).

Will be pleasantly surprised if Jeffy gets a run.  So many logical reasons to do this...but hey... it's footy

Be VERY intrigued if they DO play both Spargo AND Jeffy..have been want ting to see this just about all year..Just have a gut feeling theyd work well of of each other and wouldnt trip over each other either. Frost seems a beyond  "about time"inclusion

I await official team sheet with more interest than I thought Id have this week...tttt

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
