We finally start to get on a roll and lose all our rucks.  We are the Shakespearean tragedy that never ends.

Agreed. I thought we were gonna be okay like richmond. Its a crying shame

Great reporting as usual from ToM bRoWnE there.

Preuss injury diagnosis: "looked annoyed coming off".

    I would have no qualms playing all three of Spargo , Pickett and Bedford together.

    Have a look at how many small forwards the Tigers roll out each week and their last few years.   They are the blueprint.

    Exactly. It's almost a case of the more the merrier. 

    We've designed a game plan that relies heavily on genuine small forwards and yet we have very few on our list. 

    I'd love to see us with two talls (Weid, Jacko/TMac), one mid-sized (Hannan/Fritsch) and the rest as smalls.

    I'd also love to see us target another 1-2 small forwards in the off-season.

    I hope not.  @DeeSpencer claims Jordan Sweet is the modern day version of Dean Cox, Jim Stynes and Aaron Sandilands.  It's a wonder why he hasn't been given a run earlier.

    Thanks. Didn’t realise that. 

    he’d be a big chance to come in  His pace, pressure and intensity are needed 

    Sorry wasn't Hannan omitted then got ill any way?

    Yeah well Bradtke is a cross between Michael Jordan and Martina Navratilova.

    It was posted on Saturday so he's referring to this week's game against the Bulldogs.

    This is the problem with big Braydon, for a man built like Goliath he seems to break down constantly...hope its not too bad

    What is our collective diagnosis?

    An earlier twitter post by Ayrton Woolley:

    Scans later today for Braydon Preuss. A “tweak” of hip/groin according to club. Not ruled out just yet, but he didn’t look happy.
    Dees positive on Gawn progress after big running session. @9NewsMelb
     
    Doesn't sound like it is wrist slashing time!
    If nothing else it will keep bulldogs guessing.

    Yep. That's an oversight on my part but I'd prefer that our long-term setup only has one medium/makeshift forward (Hannan/Fristch/Melky etc ) and more pressure/crumbing forwards.

    If Bradtke was fit I'd debut him. I say that never even seeing him play. But based on the fact that we have no one to ruck and Gawn needs a rest not to be rushed back.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
