Petty??

Possibly but Naughton is so much more agile than Petty. The closest we have is Smith imo. 
 

id go:

Smith on Naughton

May on English

Petty on Schache

Hibberd on Weightman

Lever on Hannan 

DOnt ask who I’d drop for Smith though.

So exactly how bad is Keith's hammy? Three weeks puts him back in the frame for GF

Tom Morris just said he will play. Weightman back too.

We need a few Dogs injuries to good players.

So I take it you are not following Ange and his Celtics?

I thought the Celtics were a basketball team based in Boston Maldonboy?

Maybe we could just play 19 on the ground to ensure correct match ups and still enable Lever to intercept

I have severly overestimated Port. I thaught they were tougher than this but are completely peezweak. This is a real choke. 2 best sides to play in grand final.

Gosh the bulldogs are making me feel nervous about the Gf already. They are scarily good and the midfield is going to be a great battle in 2 weeks. 

To be the best you need to beat the second best.

In Round 11 Naughton kicked 1.1 from 14 disposals and 5 marks.

In Round 19 Naughton kicked 2.1 from 9 disposals and 3 marks.

Tonight to half time he has kicked 2.1 from 7 disposals from 6 marks.

In other words: twice this year, we've curtailed him.

Yes. I fear ports rucks and midfield more than dogs.

Hannan 3 goals in a half? This games just in a parallel universe.  We've got this in 2 weeks.

Thinking of the positives, a big win for the doggies will see them go in as favorites for the granny. will take some of the focus and pressure off us

I think a lot of people will still have us as favourites regardless of tonight’s result, Port’s body of work against top 4 sides is still a work in progress. Our premiership drought brings enough of its own pressure.

Awful prelim final weekend for neutrals. Last night was amazing for dees fans and tonight is amazing for dogs fans I'm sure, but how fun could a smashing be to sit through if you're not invested in the winning team?

this is starting to read like a normal nervous gameday thread.

Relax people and enjoy the game.

Reallity is that in the GF we wont be as good as last night and nor will Bulldogs have a run like tonight

A few dogs running into each  causing concussion , can i say that?

Concussion protocols need 2 weeks which would get them back just in time.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
