    Out: Oscar, Hibberd 

    In: Fritsch, Harmes

    Harmes to play through the midfield, don't need him down back with Rivers in the side.

     

    MEMO TO ALL: 

    I, and I assume most people here, visit this site to read about and discuss FOOTY. In particular the DEMONS. And in this thread, the discussion is intended to be about the PLAYERS and what TEAM our beloved club will field. 

    Can we please stop with the [censored] Covid blame-game [censored], it’s just exhausting. Please shut up, unless discussing the above, or move the dog-chasing-its-tail nonsense to another thread or another platform altogether. 
     

    Thanks in advance, 

    D.A.G

    Pretty much spot on for my changes, no match up for Oscar so he goes out. Jetta instead of Lockhart is a chance, he was given a positive mention after the scratch match. 

    After a stirring win like that I think they’ll try not to ring in too many changes.

    Anyone know if the weather in Cairns will be as oppressive as Darwin? 

    26 degrees with 80% humidity at kick off. And we have to all it all again 4 days later. Very concerned we'll either drop a winnable game in Cairns or put in a listless display against GWS (as per Port game). These blokes are fit, but can they overcome this fixture cram?

    I'm giving this side an absolute out/excuse if we miss finals. Alice - Cairns - Cairns in 9 days while other sides have mostly stayed in QLD.

    Bulldogs - 10 of their final 12 games in Surfers or Brisbane

    St Kilda  - 9 of their final 12 games in Surfers or Brisbane

    North - 11 of their final 12 games in Surfers or Brisbane

    Brisbane - Will leave QLD twice for the entire season FCS!!

    This season is a bit of a video game if you ask me. Just make it up as they go.

     

     

     

    I'm not giving this side any excuses whatsoever. If we make finals Goody is safe if we don't, he needs to go! Along with some underperforming players PERIOD! No more what ifs, shoulda, coulda, It's pure and simple. We have an excellent injury list, we need to be canny in selections and ring in rotations. ALL GAMES ARE WINNABLE and we need to consolidate! No more Bloody excuses!

    I’m with you on no excuses. That should be printed on the wall of our changing rooms wherever we play. 

    But barring us losing the rest of our games badly Goodwin will be coaching us next year so you should probably just get used to that thought. 

    Every game is winnable, and yeah other teams have had it softer for travel but we have had a close to full strength list to choose from every week. Missing finals from this position would be embarrassing.

    We don't need another tall.

    Also, we need to replace Hibberd with a defender, not someone who plays on the left wing.  Mind you, and just to be balanced, I'm not sure I'd want Michael O'Brien playing on the right wing, either. Not everyone born in Ireland makes a good footballer.

    Much more pleasant than Darwin. Around 65%humidity and 23 at kick off is typical for this time of the year.

    It can be windy during the day due to the trade winds but these drop off at night

    Of course there is the cane toad problem

    The sauce of my sauce (let's call him 'the concentrated sauce') informs me that Bennell knows he wont get another senior game until he tests his legs at 100% pace. Seems loathe to run at full speed lest he have another breakdown. Might be psychological fear, or could be a real fear of further injury. Not exactly groundbreaking, but interesting intel nonetheless

    Must say in the games I've watched he never really hits top gear.

    My sauce is impecable and a true gentleman.

    Any news regarding a contract for next year?

    ANB, Harmes, Fritsch and Smith in.

    AvB, Hibberd, Pickett And Hannan out

     

    Pickett out.  Didnt replace him with a small forward, but we should beat Sydney regardless.

    Where will Joel Smith play  when O Mac/May/Lever are still in the team?

    Hibberds replacement by the looks of it.

    once again, i for one welcome our new lizard overlords

    these changes are...intriguing

    all on anb to provide any forward pressure; how many weeks will they give him if he accidentally knocks someone out this week?

    i believe it should be 

    B: Tomlinson    OMac     Rivers

    HB: Salem        May         Lever

    C Langdon.      Petracca  Harmes

    HF: Fritsch.      Weideman Melksham

    FF: Spargo       Brown.     ANB

    R: Gawn          Oliver         Viney

    INT: Jones Brayshaw Smith (FWD) JWagner

    But i can see any combination of Harmes Tomlinson and Smith in any half of the ground except Smith in a wing

    It was Oscar Wilde that said people are either charming or tedious. There is no question Picket Fence where you fit!

    You've posted the same crap all year. Give it a rest FFS!

    • 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?
