On Friday night,i'd like to see Max lead the boys to the place where Angus was felled,23 players form a circle,arm in arm.

Tonight is for our Fallen Brother!

Like a vigil? The cliff edge where the digger was shot?

Maybe we can just win it for him.

For some reason the idea of bringing Tomlinson into the team and playing May forward keeps coming to mind. It's left field, but all the other options are underwhelming....

If he didnt have a big left hook on his kicking AND we had a close replacement i reckon it would've been given some consideration Bingo

Appears we are going with Disco for JVR this week.

When you are as good as him you don't need to.

As Gary Lineker recently said on his podcast “when I went to Barcelona I was chasing and tackling and the players stopped me at half time and said ‘what are you doing, you’re here to score goals.’ I said to myself ‘I’ll have a bit of that’ but when I came back to Spurs I had to do that nonsense again!”

Not worthy of a new topic, however, would like to know if people think this group of players gets a bit of stage fright early in front of big hostile crowds at the G?

I know they’ve got Grand final experience (albeit at Optus) but it seems that whenever we play in front of a large MCG crowd against a another big Victorian team we start poorly.

Some recent examples:

Round 6: Richmond ANZAC eve - poor start

Round 13 - Collingwood KBD - poor start

Round 22 - Carlton - poor start

QF - Collingwood - poor start.

I know we had finals wins in 2018 but Geelong and Hawthorn crowds don’t have the same level of goading and intimidation as a Pies/Blues/Richmond crowd. 

I don't thinks so only by the unfortunate stat that we have started poorly in quite a few others.

I admire our fight backs but it's frustrating that we are putting ourselves in these positions.

But kudos for attempting to explain them. It's quite strange.

Great pickup RPFC. That old English work rate!

Also didn't know he had a pod.

Grundy has to play now, we are getting banged up Thursday was just such a fail will cost us a shot 

Goodwin will have to be forced into playing Grundy he doesnt like change and will resist it he should have realized earlier Max cannot do it on his own and played Grundy against Collingwood just like his idea of a Forward Line he wont admit that he was wrong i blame him entirely

My understanding is that Gawn has had this for a few weeks now and just has a needle pre match.

Yes but if he goes down we only have TMac or Joel Smith to ruck. Grundy has to play

And it should be said Grundy is an 2xAA Team member and a 2x Copeland Trophy winner.

If he is picked he will go nuts wanting to play in a Prelim and a GF

He is primed.

If he isn't picked that will tell us a fair but more about Goody

If only we had some other ideas as to using players........

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
