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.

    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?

    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.

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

    We can win this season. We aren’t even in really top form to be honest. 
    I’m scared

    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).

    Jon Ralph on Fritsch: “He’s got 46 goals and surely is All Australian”.

    Interesting. Can’t say I’ve seen his name mentioned much in AA media chatter.

    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.

    Fremantle in 2015 beat 16 of the 17 sides, missing out only to Hawthorn.

    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.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
