Great to get May and Fritta back. Fritsch being available was the unexpected that meant we did the right thing and did not bring in either of BBB or Weid. Why would you change the team structure when 5-0? Honour the players doing their job and playing their that got us here. Form lapse and injuries will occur and create chances at some point. Jackson whilst a key forward/ruck may not be kicking goals but he rarely lose an aerial contest and usually brings the ball down to a dangerous spot for our mids and smalls. The flexibility his role and athleticism gives us is one of the key reasons for our form and in particular our ability to MAXimise Gawn in varying ways. 

His ground level skills in picking up the ball after rucking has been great.

If he starts clunking marks and bags of goals Id feel sorry for Bbb and Wied.

    Weid, Petty & Sparrow are all warming up with the Casey boys. 

    No sign of Chandler so guess he's it for sub duty

    Warning kids... do not drink and post!

    But lets end their dynasty today.

    Lets do what we did to the Hawks in 2016, and end their dynasty so badly that one of their older players seeks a trade to us in November. Mr Edwards come on down ??

    Edit: This is a quite a great read actually, lots of Hawk misery.

    Watching VFL and Weid and Brown made me think of another good aspect of our team selection to take on the Tigers tonight, by not playing our key forwards we are not giving the Tigers a look at our likely line up should we meet in September (assuming we go that far). Where as, we’re getting another look at this Richmond team.

    I probably should have put a little ? or a ? at the end of my previous post of a 19yo.

     

    I thought he did some lovely long kicks into the F50 a few times... so I also just checked the stats on the AFLPRO and he is going at 60/40 handball to kick ratio, and the main point with that, is that I dispute that neither he or his team mates have confidence in his kicking.

    I think @Lampers nails it with his quote around the flexibility the he provides for our team and also the difficulty as a match up for opponents.

    15hrs later...

    19 - he is only 19yo.

    Eating my words a little right now.  That was a bloody rippa game from big Dogga Jacko Jackson.

    19 - he is only 19yo

    ...19

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
