Give Petty another week....

    So Brown played really well but seems to still only have a half of good footy in him. No idea how he will pull up for next week.

    Judging by the public comments, Goodwin seems to think that Petty will find more form playing in the AFL than the twos. But from the people who went to the Casey game it seems like he's not going to be kicking bags for a few weeks.

    How did Fullerton look yesterday? 

    Second tall forward/ruck still seems the week link but I reckon Brown deserves some congrats for his game today.

     

    No change unless there’s an injury/niggle that needs managing before two games on the road in Adelaide

    6 day break. Not sure how Brown will pull up

    Petty or Fullarton in for Brown if needed

    otherwise no change. reward the team. Sparrow was down but he deserves the chance to make up for it

    I wouldn't mind see what Tholstrup can do. Perhaps a straight swap with Woey. Other than that no change. Give Petty another week to find his feet in the twos.

    Sicily got a week for kicking out when he was targeted early. That is very soft. 

    Expect it to be overturned at appeal

    massive loss for the hawks . sicily can't seem to stay out of trouble for long no matter how many articles they write about him shedding his bad boy behaviour and becoming captain .

    can't imagine we'll wield too many, if any, changes but I too wouldn't mind seeing the Kolt unleashed on the G .

    out Sparrow.

    In Petty,

    Tholstrup sub

    Don't drop Sparrow. He will come good.

    I don't think any changes but Petty in is tempting. Play Brown for 1 more week and then bring petty in for Adelaide games.

    We simply should not consider dropping Sparrow. Didn't have the greatest of games this week but you don't through the baby out with the bathwater. Also don't drink bathwater

    Obvious from training reports that BBB has a light program.

    If we can get him up for next week that would be great

    I see the weather is dry and 23/24 which is not too bad

    No way is Sparrow getting dropped. I’ll back him in to find some form over the next couple of games.

    • 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?
