Tomlinson must be  feeling stiff. Not even picked as a sub.

The Lions defence looks ordinary with that [censored] captain floating around the chb line.

Petty better get ready for his snipes when he comes up the ground.

They'll definitely be coming for Petty and try and put him off his game.

 

 

 

He's picked as one of the four emergencies from where the sub gets selected. So he's still a chance to be the sub.

If May plays and Tomlinson is selected as the sub, be prepared for 4 million posts on Demonland wailing that it's proof that May isn't 100%, shouldn't be playing and everyone from the coaching team to the medicos should be sacked.

Any team with Daniher in it is a joke.  Dumbest footballer I have ever seen.

cover Rich from delivering from HB and they are cooked.

48 point victory to the Dees

Yep, expect plenty of attention put into Rich. Might even be a job for Melk at some point. 

It'll basically be a training run for us. We'll just be using it to run Viney, May and Fritsch back into some form. Viney will likely steamroll someone very early on and after that  they'll set up as witches hats. We'll be on top after tonight and that's basically the season done. Just hand us the Cup!

Fagan likes Rich and Zorko to set up their attacks off half back. Shut down that and they got nothing.

That is true, and can be countered with our mobile backs teaming - as there really are only two Lions concerned on most occasions, and they will cross-feed one another to get to that offensive launching. These are critical seconds in a flowing match that we should be able to intercept/disrupt/use as our own springboard. Given our current aerobic fitness, far superior to that of Brizzy it seems, we may well run 'em off their feet by the end of the third quarter!

Yea feel for Tommo. He's done it tough with some serious injuries. Plays a great game then gets dropped. Double edged sword playing for a club with so much talent. I wouldn't have minded him being subbed into the fwd line with a couple of last quarter goals. Thought it might have been the smart play given concern over Maysie and Tmac but I'm wise enough now to finally  accept the club's call.

I feel for Thommo too- we have lost handy players in the past due to lack of opportunities or lack of reward for effort and contribution.- I just hope he gets other chances and feels part of the team and not just a fill in.

I wonder about the responses and possible criticisms. May knows what he is doing, I'd say. Tomlinson, in my mind this week, was bloody good last week - almost a complete turnaround in many ways and for that cumulative effort over the pre-season, demands respect.

Interestingly, stats insider’s super confusing predictive model has this game at 50/50. Something must have happened in the last few days because last time I looked they had Brisbane as 52% likely to win and us 48%. I’m guessing what happened was our ins. If that is so May, Viney and Fritsch should feel pretty insulted that their inclusion only raises our chance to win by 2%.

Someone please get the graphic skills out with a Demon pitchforking both these animals. 

I'd try but not in the mood..

Here you go

Bringing in Fort really highlights the great challenge other teams are going to have with "Gawndy" you think you need another actual ruckman to compete with these blokes so you bring in a tall lumbering guy who's almost certainly going to lose anyway because that feels like a better option that using someone like Hipwood who would definitely be exposed both in the ruck and around the ground. 

I reckon Grundy will spend more time in the ruck this week and Gawn more time forward. i think Brisbanes backline will struggle to contain Gawn, and Grundys mobility will really challenge Oscar and Fort. i suspect we will tag Neale and Berry will Tag oliver and Petracca will take home the 3 votes 

Brisbane have been and seemingly always will be a team that can't beat good teams on system, and instead relies on acts of brilliance from their big name players.

There seems to be a sniff of prejudice emerging about the Demons this year...stuff 'em.

I’m thinking we’ll dish out a good old fashioned belting tonight. 
 

Ten goal victory. 🔴🔵🔥💪

I'll support that! It might be over-ambitious, but it is feasible....hell, let's make it a 12-goal annihilation!

I tried one of the AI image makers but it completely missed the mark! Had to resort to photoshop

I am loving the arrogance in this thread. Hope it pays off. 
 

I wonder if the Lions supporters are lurking around going “can’t wait to beat these arrogant so and so” 😂

Yeah I wonder if they have a "what they're saying at Goschs'" thread.

Kozzie has gone to Rich in the past to shutdown his play on from a behind to get the ball to centre wing. Without Kozzie I wonder how we approach this tonight, probably Chandler playing that role?

I'll be keeping you in the rolodex DemonWheels! 

I reckon Brisbane are way too tall now..

 

Coleman is a massive out for them. He and Rich running and delivering off half-back are a handful. Speedy ball movement caused us defensive problems last year so less bounce off opposition half-back is good for us!

On the flip side we seem to have been training fast ball movement ourselves over the pre-season, so can do just as much damage in attack. Long may it continue!

Gees DS not much use watching this game after a top summary like that. I'll do it quarter by quarter, and see what happens..

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.
