Butthead is The Fritta!!!

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).

I always thought the comparison was he looks more like Beavis, just darker hair!

Quality show, I lived in Florida when it was all the rage! Classic!

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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
