Come to think of things, if Melk had more of an underbite, he'd make a decent Beavis!

Im not so sure .. Depending on matchups I think it a line ball between him and Hibbo. Both were great today (especially Smith) 

Special praise to Spargo who put together a very good 4 quarter effort today! 

My changes assuming fitness

May for Hibbo

Viney for Sparrow

T Mac for Melksham 

with Gus and Jordan lucky but might still go depending on if they want Hibbo in the side

Also Harmes to do a Tough as nails tagging job take no prisoners on Duckwood!

Good call.

But I hope Hibberd stays. Was a tough as nails today after an absence and showed lots of courage. Not to mention how many early games he was worth his weight.

Either of Smith and Hibberd will be unlucky but Id keep Hibberd for his previous efforts for what its worth.

Tmac for Melk who deserves credit for his eagles game and viney or maybe chunk in for sparrow.

We should win this one in a canter. Crows have nothing to play for and we have top spot on the line.

Dees by 40+

 

 

 

Anyone want next weeks Tatts numbers ??

 

:roos:

No but last weeks $80mil  Powerball numbers would have been good.

Anyone know what happened to Brown after quarter time? He looked like he was on for 8. 

he lost quite a few one on ones in the 2nd half especially. Perhaps an injury?

Looked doubled teamed every time the ball came his way after his first couple of goals

Seeing the Eagles really struggling against Freo team missing Fyfe and Brayshaw, puts Demons struggling to get out of 2nd gear into perspective.

Very good result today, Fritsch, Langdon both hitting form, Jackson another 👍game, Spargo played well, Pickett won’t be far away from coming good.

Smith filled in well.

Only downers we’re Brayshaw & Melksham very quiet, and Sparrow turned it over too much. Jordon fair!

Assuming Viney, May & TMac all good to come back next week, we should be cherry ripe heading into the finals, and a big show to beat the Cats next week at GMHBA (Hawkins should get a  week or two, the guy was concussed, so careless, high & high).

Adelaide's first 7 goals from our turnovers.

Pretty untidy that.

Twice we let them get back to a 3pt margin but in the end we did what we needed to do including some junk time goals for a change

I just looked at time on ground stats. A lot of our better players had a lot less TOG than usual. Trac was on the bench almost 20 minutes today. Oliver 15 minutes. Gawn 27 minutes off the ground. Gus had a full 30 minutes on the bench. 
We clearly went in with a plan to rest guys. We tried a few different things in the middle. We rested May. 
We wanted to get over the line and we did with minimum effort. Perfect outcome!

Well we've beaten everyone this year except Collingwood - that would be ironic in a Premiership year.

In the 18 the comp, no one has ever beaten all 17 other teams in the one season. Not sure how many have beaten 16.

Given we have dropped silly games like this through the year there’s not much to be too disappointed about today’s performance. Wasn’t pretty and it wasn’t without lots to work on but when you get the 4 points and power home with a quick fire bunch of goals at the end, while missing two key pillars, you have to smile. Particularly with us being on top going into the final round. 

Next week the Melbourne vs Cats and Dogs vs Port matches look as mini QF finals, they set the tone for the finals. I honestly can’t wait!

It was great to see Fritta kick a bag, he really seemed to be enjoying himself. Brown started with a flurry but I felt he stayed involve. Some better kicks towards him could’ve give him a chance at a bag himself (looking at Harmes). 

Ultimately we got the job done and Fritta got a little confidence to go forward (after basically being MIA for the first quarter). 

Bring on Geelong with May and TMac back!

Great forwrad planning by coaching staff w.r.t game time for key palyers.  Max played least ground time for the year I suspect with only 78%.  Similar lower numbers fro Oliver and Petracca.

The only high TOG were ther ususal suspects of Lever (only player with 100% on the ground), Langdon and Petty.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
