Turner has been an absolute deadeye for goal, but his biggest issue has been positioning I feel.

Seems he's getting the hang of it now!

    May is home too. I don’t know that we need to read too much into it. 
    But really good to see Clarry there! 

    Trac was busy having coffee with Lachie Neale this morning, according to the Herald Sun.

    After all the negative stuff this last month a win like this gives you hope for the future no matter what happens now

    Screw draft picks

    Culture and a winning mentality far more important

    Surely we have learnt this lesson the hard way by now

    Good. Neale wanted out of Brisbane too. Maybe they’re chatting about how to mend bridges.

    A player who wanted to move, was held to a contract and is now happy at his a club?

    Or did Trac really like Noosa

    Goodbye pick 5

    Hello pick 10?

    Goodbye "Dean Bailey era playing for draft picks" mentality.

    Hello "next Flag tilt"

    I hope not.

    I guess with Gus gone.

    Anb possibly leaving.

    Tracca injured.

    Oliver too...

    The club doesn't seem so tight knit.

    Hopefully it's still woven deep and we lose nobody.

    Wins like this certainly help.

    Gawn spoke wonderfully yet again. Great captain and leader. To me today was a performance of united group, no fractures.
     

    Can’t say how I feel about Trac though. Can’t see him with the team in the rooms. Oliver is there, Spargs is there.

    Where are you Trac?

     

    I suspect medical advice would be that he still should not fly

    Alex was massive in the midield the further the game went on.

    Fabulous that he got his wish to sing the song 🎶

     🤞 there is a repeat next week!

    Please next year, loosen the obsession with “Contest & Defence” just a little bit!! Half a turn… and let the Boys play with some dare. 
    Scoring is just as important as defending…

    Out of country, listened on the radio have nothing but praise for a great team performance. On to the ‘G to put the Colliwobblers to the torch.

    Doubtful unless he walked to Noosa

    We are going to have some genuine competition for tall forward spots next year.

    JVR and Turner have to be locks for mine.

    I'd love Petty to play back, but where does TMac play? May and Lever are locks at the back.

    I'm so excited by Turner and have been most of this year. He's quick, he attacks contests in the air, and he's a good kick.

    He still fades in and out of games, but that's natural at his age and level of experience. 

    Jack Viney, Max Gawn, Alex Neal-Bullen and Ed Langdon were incredible today. Possibly the best game Jack has played. Absolutely bossed it.

    Jack Viney was asked about his future with the Demons when interviewed on ground after game and didn’t deny about whether he was leaving or not, just said let’s get through this and we’ll sort that stuff out at and of year, honestly think he’s thinking about going to North, they’re trying for Ollie Wines too. His old man is there and his childhood mate could be there too, don’t be surprised if he leaves at end of year!!

    Amazing how winning the centre clearances makes a difference @Binmans PA.

    Yeah, I see a forward line of JVR, Fritsch, Turner and Jefferson. Petty May and Lever down back. I am a huge fan of TMac, but can't see him in the 22 next year (having sad that, he keeps surprising me).

    Like you, Turner looks on the edge of busting the game apart.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
