    Compare the pair. We know plus or minus a player or two who will be in our 2018 Preliminary Final Team. Here's the team from 30 years ago including a number of stars but also some players I don't even remember (Bret Bailey?). I think the 2018 team would have the 1988 team covered (which is a huge compliment to John Northey for getting them into the GF).

    Word on Perth radio is that Lycett might not get up. Couldn't participate in their main session on the weekend.

     Could be mind games to mess with our defensive set up too

    That would be massive. We need every advantage we can get.

    The 87 team made a prelim and followed it up with a GF appearance in 88 so they weren't too bad.

    A few similarities in the sense that both teams didn't have the greatest of home and way seasons. In '88 we started like a house on fire as I recall then had a mid season slump... (won 7 out of the first 8 and then 6 out of the next 14).

    Northey was on the radio the other day and like many here say the 1990 premiership was ours to win.

    Wow, that team was so inexperienced.  The average games played would lucky to be over 50.

    The only change I would be tempted to make would be

    Out: Tyson

    In: Hunt

    West coast have two very quick small forwards. The length of the ground and the ability to switch with pace. Hunt looked ok for Casey in conditions that were terrible. I would take a risk.

    SEN reported Max trained indoors today ?

    ...Club said he will be going to Perth with the team...

    tempted for J Smith for Tyson but gotta keep the team feel running

     

    Smith is a part of the year's successes - therefore, a team member with a full deck of cards. He is more potent than Tyson. Therefore, Smith in, Tyson issued a ticket to spectate.

    you'd pick a guy who's been out of form all year and was just 'ok' in the vfl? bit late in year to speculate

    You mean like with Goldsack.

    No change. Stability is great this time of the season. In 2005 Sydney didn't have a change for about 10 weeks.

    no goldsack wasn't out of form, just out of game time like jack viney. goldsack is more of an experienced known quantity too

    having said that, goldsack was still a risk. hunt would be a bigger risk (and i'm a hunt fan)

    Its not the right thread but Im so caught up in the euphoria of success at the minute I ju st wanted to give a shout out to Viney. Hasnt played for half a season and plays wonderfully.

    As far as changes maybe Vince for Tyson but I dont think it will happen.

    Go you good demons.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.
