Bowie? Why?

I like Bowie and he kicks well. Spargo kicks well though not over 40m, and has been poor lately along with several of our small forwards.  
We have tons of pretty good back flankers who fit in with our defense.        It's far enough out from finals not to mess things up while we briefly see if Bowie might help our relatively poor forward line.

    JB is a great player. Just having a poor series with the gloves. On fire before he stuffed up his knee late last year on the golf course.

    Been a long time since I've seen an experienced keeper have this terrible a test series. The contrast between he and Alex Carey could hardly been more striking

    He is a terrible keeper, such poor form like I’ve never seen.

    Good batsman for sure. But a test level keeper ....... nowhere near it!

    Reasonable batsman, I reckon. But doesn't know when to stay in his crease. Most unusual for a keeper to get stumped!

    Bairstow... Bairstow... Nup; can't place him. But I reckon Tommo, or Smitho, or Hibbo will go to him.

    Dees by an innings and 25 points.

    I wouldn’t sit in that temporary stand at Old Trafford if my life depended on it. Especially right up the top. It looks like a collapse waiting to happen. There’s no protection overhead, nor at the sides. It makes level 4 nosebleeds at the ‘G look inviting.

    Did we ever do anything good in your view though?

    Yes Plenty Old but playing injured players is something I cannot agree with/ What about you?

    There was simply no reason not to play Tommo in my view and there has been nothing explained

    Injury management was a problem last season it is reasonable in my view to ask the question

    Did the dog play as a spare?

    I wish there was more footage of it, looked like something out of Tad Lasso.

    I haven't seen Ted Lasso but taking a punt for potential good social veneer.

    Look, I love Bowie. He’s been an inarguable legend and made a lot of his supporters very happy over the years. But he is very prone to massive dips in form. In fact it’s fair to say that the thirty years between “Absolute Beginners” and “Blackstar” were, from both an artistic and AFL perspective, a real walk through the desert.

    May has to stop Tex. That is the vital part of the game. 

    If Tex and Rankine can be kept quiet, we will win easily.

    I would say so. Tex's year has been exceptional, only 1 goal behind Curnow in the Coleman. Rankine is one of the best forward 50 stoppage players in the comp, gotta watch those ground balls in defensive 50.

    Yes there's Fogarty, Rachele and Thilthorpe who can get on the scoreboard but things up forward do tend to flow from the other two and I'd rather make them try to beat us with their 3rd, 4th and 5th options.

    No Rachele this week. Suspended.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
