To all those who wanted spargo rested, a pox on your house.

To all those who didn't want Melksham 2 years ago, a pox on your house.

To all those who thinks Oscar should be in the twos, a pox on your house.

To all those who thinks ANB wasn't worth being in the firsts, a pox on your house.

To all those who believe this club was no good, A POX ON YOUR HOUSE.

GO DEES

 

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).

What's a pox?


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.

I think it’s something you get when you’ve been near a Collingwood supporter...

Nah, we're better on paper... just need fair umpiring.

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

#nochangedees

Gaff, NicNac and Sheppard out is pretty handy

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.

ie he will be playing Saturday

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)

Humour meter off?

Edited by Redleg

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
