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

Dont kid urself the side in 87 would EAT this side of 2020 With a few exceptions!!

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!

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
