    How do you test a broken jaw?

    I can think of other years

    when barracking for my team

    was everything a younger fan could do

    I could never see finals

    for there were always better rivals

    How can you mend a broken team

    How can you stop the raining goals

    How can what's begun stop declining

     

    What makes this club go round ?

    How can you mend, this broken team

    How do these losers ever win

    please help them mend this broken start

    and let them play again

     

    I can still taste the Bries

    pass the mussels if you'd please

    and a dusty Sangiovese while I cry

     

    we will never watch'em in finals

    been outplayed by better rivals

    how can you mend a broken team

    how do we stop them falling down

    …....

    I see nothing in Hore that screams he will make it. Poor decision if he is in the side.

    So who is the player from Friday not on the plane? Neal-Bullen?

    Hore and Spargo should be nowhere near the AFL side. At least playing Preuss would give Sydney something different to think about.

    They are taking a kid who had a broken jaw two weeks ago. This is way more serious than I thought.

    Spargo is tough as guts but.

    i'd prefer him out there compared to a lot of others.  even for a kid you generally know what you'll get

    Yes I think he must’ve left him out in the first tweet.

    I heard SEN mention all but Preuss as well though.

    Not discussing how tough he is. Surely it takes longer than two weeks to heal a broken jaw. Has the smell of continuing to playing Smith with a injury in a practice match. Oh that's right we did not think it would get any worse. God deliver me.

    Well combined with the issues around lack of fitness due to pre-season factors, it sounds like it would be a quite justifiable one.   

    Hopefully that is offset/mitigated by Sydney's 5 day break.

    Dark cloud over this team. Seem really bereft of confidence.

    Goodys pressers make it seem he isnt quite sure how it all went wrong or how to fix it.

    Would love if we turned it around, but history shows how poor we are against them... and up there its been how long since we won?

    Spargo wont play unless Hunt or Lockhart are a late withdrawal.

    Or if we want to try a three amigos small forward set up.

    Or if he plays in the midfield (which by the way is his natural position).

    He got dropped and then had his jaw broken in his VFL match. He got dropped for a reason and hasn’t had time to rectify the cause of his  dropping and build form to return to AFL level. If he plays, it’s poor decision making by the coaching staff.

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
