There is a LOT of "kick long and hope" into both forward lines going on. Atrocious forward play. Brainless. And boring.

Much like our finals. 

Hopefully we have sorted it out

Hmm I get the feeling of Deja vu watching the Tiges and Boos going around tonight. Bit like watching a Dees intra club pre season game from 5 years ago. A lot of intent but bad execution.

None of these teams are top 8 material from what I’ve seen let alone top 4 as some have predicted. 
 

Time for this game as season kick off to end. I love the GF rematch as the season opener.

Both defences winning and skills not really on point. Given it’s round 1, not much can be taken going further into the season.

Feels like this is an ‘in context’ game. Have to wait to see what the rest of the round has to show to gauge how good/bad this is.

Richmond have obviously spent more time in the off season practicing how to tap to each other rather than kick to each other.

Both sides look like fringe finals teams

Prestia looks a million bucks, he has fantastic agility for someone with no hamstrings and meatballs in his blood

Taranto is a horrendous player with skill level which would be embarrassing in the VFL

Go back 3 years and Dusty would have torn this game to shreds. He is starting to warm up, but looks 4 or 5 games away from doing what he can do.

Both midfields look so pedestrian and workman like, but with no excellence, or burst away player. 

I am a huge fan of Charlie Curnow, but he is playing a very Sam Weideman ish game - getting to everything but not completing a mark, or a play. 

Cotchin is shot. 

Shai Bolton - yes please.

Cowan looks like a prospect 

Was bizarre he lasted until 30 in the draft. He’s a good prospect and won the Morrish medal. Looks like he’ll have a solid career.

This game has been trash.

Dusty has been an average player post 2020. He’s not in the top 50 players anymore. He doesn’t have the extra gears anymore and just looks to get rid of it like hit potato as he can’t shrug the body contact anymore. 

Obviously had a great career, but guys like him and Cotchin are basically cactus now.

    DARK NIGHT by George On The Outer

    A pleasant, balmy Brisbane evening with perfect conditions for football turned into a bleak, dark night in more ways than one for the Demons on Friday night at the Gabba. Coming up against a Lions outfit which had been truly cut to shreds by Port Adelaide the previous week, with the Demons having accounted for the Dogs emphatically, it was reasonable for the droves of Melbourne supporters to expect to witness more pain being inflicted as payback for their loss to the same team in the previo

    DEES UNLEASHED by George On The Outer

    On a balmy Saturday night in March, the Demons of 2023 were unleashed and, in a show of strength, they sent the Bulldogs packing to their kennel to lick their wounds after their resounding 50-point opening round victory.   Things looked ominous early for the Demons with Bayley Fritsch, Steven May, Jack Viney and Christian Salem from their best 23 unavailable, compounded by the threat of facing up to a four man tall forward line of Darcy, Lobb, Ugle-Hagan and Naughton.     However
