    I believe his challenge will be dealing with some sledging

    I'd be surprised...

    In most cases these days personal stuff would be a no go zone unless you're a certain Brisbaner.

    Viney, but I think they have told him to curtail his whack-'em mold

    For sure Big kev.He's well spoken with wonderful hair but he will certainly give you something to remember the game by. And probably smile while he does it. All round class is our Jack. Love his work.

    On the subject of agro, was it just me but did Maxy look like he'd taken one of his get annoyed pills in the practice game?

    Yes seemed he had a point to prove. I hope they remember it's a marathon of a season though and don't blow their load before September again.

    Would you rather Viney tap him on the backside every time he gets a kick?

    Has to be one of the silliest comments on demonland. Nothing but respect to JJ, he busted his balls for us.

    Not sure why we are the underdogs in this one, Sydney aren't that great a side and are missing a lot of first choice mids especially if Adams is out as well now....the SCG doesnt hold any fears for us we should be able to come away with the W

    We're coming in on the betting market, it's nearly now even odds for both teams, have a feeling well be slight favourites by Wednesday.

    Oliver to play per Sam Edmund on SEN this morning. The club has apparently been impressed with his attitude, training standards, investment in his teammates etc...

    I think there is now enough noise to suggest that he'll be playing.

    I reckon this bloke would have sorted him out nicely (and a reminder about how many sleeps to go to the start of the season).

    Loved Jacko, followed him from end to end every quarter, possibly the most offbeat and entertaining Dee of all time.

    That said… his bark was infinitely more frightening than his bite

    That is, his bite as an enforcer/thug. His bite as a forward was consistently underrated.

    Have had opposition supporters saying they have inside info he won’t play all year.

    I have been replying all summer without any inside info, that he will play first round if his fitness is ok and Medical people have no issue.

    Hopefully he plays and has a great season and sticks it up the whole AFL media and opposition.

    Well we had dancing with your sister game against Richmond and then dancing with your aunt against the blues, now the season starts and I will be interested in watching how the forward lines works this year get this right and the season will look after itself.

    All big ticks for clarry.

    But also a massive tick for the club, how it has handled this situation, and yes its culture.

    And a massive cross for the media and the media model.

    Slam us for months with all the preseason from hell and salacious innuendo bulltish. Drive a narrative not supported by the facts. All's fair in clicks and war.

    And then don't balance that with any retractions or contrary stories and information.

    Sure, when clarry gets back and we are travellimg ok there will be a few token redemption stories, good for clicks.

    But they won't come close to balancing out all the slanderous, false narrative rubbish the media has thrown at the club for the last five months.

    By the by, Sammy is one of the few footy journalists I respect. He has been a lone voice of balance and non hyperbole. Good on him.

    So Clarry comes in for Pickett and no doubt pushes Tracc and Sparrow forward more. Nice little 5 man rotation with Salem and Viney.

    I still think Woey’s versatility makes him the right choice for sub.

    Only selection decisions left might be what to do with the struggling talls at each end but I’m guessing status quo unless Fullarton or T Mc really look the goods at training and in the invisible vfl game last week.

    Love to see it. Sounds like it'll be the first 22 from the Carlton game with Oliver replacing Kozzie?

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • 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?

      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.
