Salem was non existent today & Bowey not much better, we need Hibberd imo, proven big game performer & our best lock down defender.

 

Salem had a hard tag on and Bowey played well, not sure what game you were watching.

    At the end of the day you really only want to make a change if you have too when you’re consistently winning & especially leading into finals.

    Tell Tommo that.........

    Words can’t describe just how pumped I am for this game. 

    Last time we played Collingwood in a final was 1989 at Waverley and we got the W.

    We also rolled them in the 88SF, a fantastic day at the G with a bumper crowd, some pre-game fisticuffs and the classic September Colliwobbles.

    I can't wait to play them again, I want to see Viney and Sparrow bulldozing them and knock them off their perch.

    Sorry I’m not trying to pick a fight, but you can’t be serious about Salem having a heavy tag, who & for what reason would he be tagged for, to stop those dinky little kicks 

    l also thought Bowey was a bit loose today

    They'll give the job to McVee and he'll do a fine job imo.

    We could play both him and McVee. Not suggesting we drop McVee but we might want to go smaller against the Pies.

    Salem has been non-existent for the last few months unfortunately. What's up with him?

    But who you are you dropping from our current defensive 6 for Hibbo?

    It can't be a tall because this is a set up that Goody has decided against since half way through the year which no coincidence that we got a run on with our wins since we started with the 3rd tall defender.

    Our defensive system is top 3 in most key defensive stats, its right up there in premiership credentials.

    If Goody likes a system that is working for us he'll rarely change it up or risk putting it out completely out of wack.

    The only reason Hibbo plays is if we lose Rivers, Salem or Bowey to injury.

    Oh god not this again. Hunter's fine. He's one of the last players they'd drop.

    In fairness, Gawn hasn't done much over the last two weeks since the Carlton game, being the sole ruckman..

    That's fine, he's still playing his role. That's all he needs to do.

    Goody has already admitted that Grundy experiment hasn't worked as what they thought it be, but again, that's fine. He'll only play if Gawn has to miss.

    Internal monologue “I [censored] hate that Hunter [censorino] rah rah and I have I have long running argument with my more successful brother in law about the Grundy trade so I gotta smash him in there, and also Hibbo for that one player I forget his name, and TMac because Grundy’s not going to take a mark soigottagethiminthere…rah”

    Unrelated but I used to like the Dana White UFC show 'Looking for a fight'. Thought it was pretty good and refreshing as Ultimate Fighter had gotten a bit boring.

    I think he’s a better kick, better overhead, can tackle, can tag, can go into the midfield & doesn’t duck his head.

    Please add May, Oliver and Fritsch to your outs to make this even more realistic.

    Do you think Melksham, Turner & Laurie will play?

    Hunter won’t get dropped I’ll admit that & Grundy won’t get another gig, it’s a forum so let’s not all get to angry over people’s opinions

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
