Is anyone getting the 1987 feeling right now? Granted there isn’t much at stake as there was then

She never said this side would beat the 1987 squad, just  thatthe situation is the same (waiting on result from another game).  Please take your meds Picket.

    Out: Melksham, Smith, and someone

    In: Jones, Harmes, LJ

    Put harmes in and send him straight to Kelly!

    Jones on HF has been good this year, just dont put him behind the ball or somewhere his pace can be exposed!

    Other option is Hore, who i think is a much better version than Smith, but 0 football for 18 months probably doesnt bode well for him.

    Jackson needs to come in,  if we were lucky enough to get through, Eagle backline is depleted, recon having Weid hold out a Key Def and Fritcsh take a Mcgovern out wide will allow LJ a run at it and Brown to work up the ground as an option, allowing Max to play his kick behind the play role.

     

    Unfortunately we have put ourselves in this position about making finals which is a shame, because if ever you want to play Eagles in a Perth final now is the time!

    When selecting for the finals we must be careful not to run Gawn into the ground as we will need him for all four matches.

    For this reason LJ must play.

    LJ needs to play, but got a Bye before finals Gawn would be fine!

    But you have to think about the following three matches and the travel plus the parade...the list goes on

    Gawn will definitely need help or he may be too tired to give a good speech as he lifts the cup

    I completely forgot about the parade and of course Trac's Brownlow celebrations.

    Think we are to tall without him though. Weid, LJ, Brown, Fritsch, Trac.  Means we onky have 1 small fwd.  Spargo's best is very good. But his worst is bad!  Kinda sounds familiar as a dees supporter.

    Jack Riewoldt just said on AW that Marty Hore is playing very well for the Tigers in a scratch match vs Brisbane. He'd be a handy in if we make it.

    Funny I mentioned it to my dad today and he said it actually reminds him of 1976. Obviously I’m too young to remember that year, but he said it all went down to another side winning. Ironically it was also Footscray then that ruined it for us. Only difference it was more likely we were going to qualify then.

    He even said he felt certain we were going to make it in 1976, but in 1987, he doubted we would. He only went to that game to farewell Robbie Flower.

    Anyone remembering 1976 and 1987 want to share their memories and feeling of those times?

    Not to mention Footscray was also who we had to beat to make it in 1987 ?

    Agreed, and let’s move forward, the suggestions to bring him back are crazy. On another note, I stumbled across an article that was about the person observed in your avatar, small world!

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
