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.

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
