Anyone know the last Demons player to kick 6 goals straight in a game?

I'd like to lock in Kozzie in the Alice last year for $2000.

tactical, cos they subbed miller out so we needed to go smaller defensively to keep the match-ups the same

👍 They also moved balta forward not long after

Tommo spot would have to be safe with petty starring forward and Smith the super sub

Ahhh you humblebragged your location finally 🍷😇

Haha. Of course an engineered slip. But I'm thinking of moving here: to see the town flying the red and blue in September would be an awesome sight, and I think I can rally the local folk.

Agree to disagree, didn’t read any comment in the pre game thread that had Petty kicking a bag. I’m glad that he did. I just find it childish when people want to carry on with their “to those who doubted…..”, footy’s an emotional game. I was wrong and I’m happy I was.

If I didn't read it, nobody ever thought it possible. Love it

And then snipe. Childish? Read your comment again. That's childish, very subtle though, well played.

I don't want to rub it in, we're all friends here. I get it wrong as much as anyone.

Petty not a forward hey???? 

He had me fooled,though mostly because I figured he was backline glue. 

Let's see how it plays out over time

Max Gawn in the mood has to be the most dominant player in the game.
Best ruckman I've seen.

Albanian heritage. Not sure if born there or here. Probably here.

We’re all talking top 2 now dude, top 4 is so last week

For three quarters today the result was in the balance. But for our fantastic finishing burst, we could have had the chasing pack at our heels.

I can put my hand up as being in that camp, but to be fair no one saw this coming. Nothing he’d done playing fwd this year gave any indication he had a game like that in him.

Except the first half against Hawthorn before he got injured was bordering on awesome.

I'm in Albania and would like to get the small town I'm in flying our flag for the finals. If anyone knows where his family is from it could help convince.

We made the sub first because our backline was far too slow and was getting exploited.

All the Tommo truthers might deny it but he has a stinker. Coughed up easy possession in the middle of the ground consistently. 5 clangers from 7 touches.

Was an excellent move by Goodwin to make a brave early call. Smith had at least one classic Smith moment with the Balta goal but otherwise gave us much needed defensive speed.

I suspect Hibbo takes the 2nd tall role unless they gamble on Smith full time.

Well, I was going to play nice today and wake up nice and early for work tomorrow. 
 

Stuff that.

 

I think it’s about time to jump into my freezer and see what range of guilty pleasures there are there for me. 😎

The Richmond melts on bigfooty are something else

its extraordinary. its was all the umpires. !! talk about excuses. 

I thought Richmond melted under pressure in the last, their backline became very shaky, Dusty nowhere to be seen as we just closed them down perfectly.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
