I hope this isn't the proverbial Moz, but for the past two weeks I open DL with dread - then again, that's the kind of fella I am, I must be Polish or something -  hoping that it ain't gonna produce catastrophic news about accidents on the Training Track.

Thus far, with the usual shall we say minor mishaps, our boat is afloat. 

In the meantime, I also note that the injury/operation - dictation dictation dictation, three sausages went to the station - tally at Geelong follows a similar path to our post Premiership season. Without wishing the NOT Wells on someone, long may it continue. With their perpetual Home Draw advantage, they are not Cats at all, simply spoiled poodles.

In the good old days many teams had horrific home ground advantages ie Windy Hill, Victoria Park,  Moorabbin, even Lake Oval l remember had feral home ground supporters.

I opened this thread hoping for a treatise on the death of football vernacular since the 1980's - namely 'tiggy touch wood' for an undeserved free kick.

Do we have any feral supporters? Would we recognise them?

Kossie and Fritta say HI 

 BBB and Tmac when fit say HI 

JVR says give me a go!!

ANB Spargs  say we'll be better this year 

Chandler says just please give me a go also!!! 

We are great shape

Honestly, what could go wrong from here?

We have a fit Ben Brown..Tom McDonald ..Bailey Fritch (our Premiership Forward line) available at this stage. JVR I’m sure will be great for us but he will fight for his spot …

In 2022 our forward line was decimated.
 

TMac and BBB were less than half themselves. Weid was Weid, so no loss there and Max (who ain’t a forward) was injured and had less than usual input. Jackson is an athlete and will never be a KPF. 
 

Trac could not kick a consistent goal, ANB and  Spargo are plodders who complement structure. 
 

 Only Kickett and Fritta can hold their heads up.
 

That’s 2 out of 6/8 players who contributed in a forward line.

The forward line is our big improvement area. As a collective, and when it functions it’s a problem for opposition teams. JVR, Chandler and Schache add another element for improvement too.

I guess it is competition in the sense that there is a position to be won and bidding is open.

Victoria Park and Moorabbin were the worst I ever experienced as well as Carltons home ground. In the 50's I recall at Victoria Park we were afraid to even stand next to anyone dressed in black and as for train travel home we were on edge most of the time.

Is no one concerned about Oliver’s thumb injury?  I accept I may be of a more paranoid nature but he’s pulling out of match sims and appears to be repeatedly injuring it and sore. How is this not even included in our injury list?

I don’t think it’s his thumb at all.
If you look at the diagram below, when I saw him train and show real discomfort, he was pointing to the area I’ve circled.

Does this make it better or worse McQueen?

I don’t really know. I fractured my scaphoid bone 20 years ago and it was a real pr!ck to heal.

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
