PREGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

[Demonland 54,565]

The Demons take on the Magpies in a massive Top Four clash on King's Birthday at the MCG with over 90,000 fans expected to be in attendance. Who will come in and who goes out for this huge clash between traditional rivals at the home of football?

Looked like he was out cold. No chance he plays next week. Looked very very sad post game.

This, unless Petty is ready as well. Then it's either Smith or Tomlinson depending on where we want to play him.

Has it ever snowed at the MCG?

Seriously the only way we win is accuracy on our part and inaccuracy on theirs

Accuracy on our part? Surely you jest

[Pulp Fritschon 611]

In: Oliver, Turner     Jordon (sub) 

Out: Bowey (conc), Tomlinson    Harmes (sub)

Brayshaw back for Bowey

Turner for Tomlinson (Pies not as tall but need to play 3 talls to free up Lever) 

[dl4e 5,298]

Be interesting to see Grundy next week.  I bet the filth barrackers will be disgusting towards him even though they [censored] him off.

[Roost it far 4,435]

Out: Bowey Harmes

in: Hibberd Oliver

chandler as sub

He certainly won’t get cheered like Jackson did.

He looked like it, will be missed next week 

[Jaded No More 52,781]

I think we all need the 10 day break. Players and supporters alike. 

[Bang Bang Bang 5,303]

Out. Bowey (concussed), Harmes (suspended/omitted), Smith (omitted)

Ins. Hibberd, Oliver, Ben Brown

I don't care what Benny is doing wrong in the eyes of the coaches, he's still good for a cheap free and mark each week. That's 2 goals we could use. Didn't mind the Smith experiment but it didn't work. Stick to what you know. I'll also cop TMac back if he's fit.

Harmes will cop a week for his bump but will be dropped either way. When he cops his week I expect it to be one of the shorter threads in Demonland's history. Great clubman and servant, but he's not up to it at the minute. 

Not sure who I'd play as sub in my scenario. Maybe Chandler? I prefer the sub to have a bit of X-Factor rather than the 23rd man which is generally another vanilla midfielder.

I will soon have my break by sitting on a plane for 14 hours..

Still deciding if I am going to stay up to watch the KB game (it'll be at 11 pm first bounce for me).

I’ll be watching Casey this weekend. I suggest BB lovers might want to as well. There’s no universe where he gets a game at the level.

[Blistering 481]

In Hibberd Oliver

Out Bowey (concussed) Harmes (Gleesoned)

[monoccular 15,002]

Unfortunately Bowey will miss a week (or two) with concussion.  Maybe  Hibbo (or Disco if Hibbo doesn't get up).

Harmes will be offered 2-3 for what a couple of Cats were not even cited.  Oliver back according to coach.

Otherwise probably no change.  Goody said that Smith provided a point of difference so will probably stay (unless BB has a pearler at Casey).

[Bring-Back-Powell 11,915]

Raised this on the game thread but if Viney’s opponent’s head made contact with the ground in the tackle then he’ll get an automatic 1 week at the MRP I’d imagine.

I dunno, he has exposed form at AFL level over many years now. He's not a world beater but if he struggles for impact in subpar conditions at Casey then I don't think that should put a line through his name. Joel Smith was promoted off less.

My mail is that BBB will come in after the bye.  Apparently he is doing a mini pre-season again like in 2021 and they want him firing for end of year

Oh lord am I to be proven wrong…..again…….I hate that. 😂

[DeelightfulPlay 1,961]

Can't say I have much in the way of proven footy connections so we'll see 😂  as an optimist this mail certainly fits my confirmation bias
