    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
