Please please please don’t let this mean Petty is injured. We are holding it together by some duct tape as it is down back. 

Yep, we are really missing reasonable rebound and eyes-up midfielders.

I thought Tomlinson was worse than Hunt last week.

Bring in Disco we need some good news.

    The article posted on MFC announcing his debut mentioned that he is 194cm, so I'm presuming that's his current height. 

    That was when he was recruited.  Anyone stood next to him at VFL huddles to asses??

    Bayley is not going to play CHF , expect Petty to start there . Turner will be FB and Mitch or Ben will start on the bench . Dees to win by 56 pts.

    So you reckon Lever and Turner as our only key defenders, and then Petty, Brown and Brown, with Jackson to rotate, all playing forward? Nah.

    Tommo at #localfooty today looked like he'd been dropped...

    I think it's a mistake

    He was well into best 22 before the injury  and we should be backing him in

    Hope he's Sub because he's our best swingman option without Tmac

    Blokes of the quality of Tommo and Hunt getting dropped shows that our depth is still good

    would be fantastic if Turner develops quickly as we need another tall option back as Smith is constantly injured

    Great selections the outs aren’t AFL standard confident we will win now

    20 of last years Grand Final 23 are playing.  Missing Rivers, TMac and May.  That's a very strong side.

    I think everyone knows what it says about Sam - Goodwin said in his presser he has been told he needs to improve (my words significantly) on certain things - my guess is 

    - not being easily pushed off the ball

    - bringing the ball to ground and stopping his opponent marking

    - compete with some aggression when not in possession 

    - heaven forbid kick a few goals 

    - run hard to create space and an option for players up the field 

    there may be more I don’t know but whatever it is he’s not close to a recall based on what I’m hearing unless he starts playing with a bit more physicality

    I'm not so sure re Petty at CHF CoolX.  If my memory serves me correct, going on what Goody hinted in yesterday's pressor, BBB & Mitch more than likely the  starters up forward.

    Not saying we won't swing Petty up forward at some stage but if we're playing 'the Demon way' i doubt it.  If he goes forward it's probably going to be in hope if the two talls (announced in starting line up) fail to fire.

    This is all absolutely correct and just about applies in equal measure to Jackson.

     

    We are still paying only $3 to win the flag!

    gees thought I might get some value this week!

    Two pretty major key spine (book end)  players though Swooper and don't really have genuine replacements for either.

    However, if Turner slots in tomorrow he might cover off Maysie's role.  Who knows he might even play a ripper.

    Then fingers crossed at least one of Mitch, BBB or Dogga can fire up in F50 to give us something.  Surely one of them can get going.  Third time lucky!?

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
