With 3 talls and Fritsch forward and 5 mids (Viney, Tracc, Oliver, Riv, Langdon) I think we need to start both Sharp and Lindsay on the wings and Henderson across half forward.

Langford is the sub for mine.

You need a plan for Lachie Whitfield and co that isn’t serving up a one paced 19 year old midfielder at half forward on debut.

you forgot sparrow

How many of the debutants will kick goals? Jeffo definitely.

He might, but in the match meeting did anyone else get a sense of real cameraderie at Jeffo's debut announcement!

They really got around him PF!

 

That’s just 11 players who represented the club in our last AFL premiership outing! Bring it on! (Round 25 1994)

I'm struggling to find the high half forward who is going to run the corridor defence to Forward and back again (ANB role).   I guess it has to be Sparrow.  Sharp has the tank but not really hard enough in defence.

Really. WOW. 

 Sharp is faster, good endurance, and better kicking skills than ANB.

What we will miss from ANB is that gut running and his leadership qualities.

The average age of Sunday's listed players - 25.5 - is over 2.5 years younger than the team Collingwood fielded against GWS last weekend (28.2). There are 15 players under 28, and 8 over. 

  • Under 23: 8 players
  • 23 to 27: 7
  • 28 to 29: 5 (Fritsch, Lever, Langdon, Petracca, Salem)
  • Over 30: 3 (Viney, May, Gawn)

This is close to the perfect balance IMHO. (Maybe less U/23 and more 23 to 27 if we're winning premierships)

They announced it last !
Made him work for it.

Agree a great vibe when he was announced.

This speaks to the idea of change in the club, faith shown in the recruits and a chance for us to be very different than last year.

Yes and no. 3 of those changes have been forced through the unavailability of Kozzie, McVee and Thostrup, all of whom would have certainly been playing, plus probably Turner. Not to mention the departure of ANB, without even considering Melksham and Spargo, both injured/not ready.

Not quite the radical shakeup, we actually have a lot of injuries and are just covering them.

Not complaining either, but not sure how many of these debutantes will be able to hold their spots once the regulars are available.

Not a huge fan of how many debutants we have. It smacks a bit of desperation, though admittedly I've not seen much from anyone who is debuting.

That’s quite amazing 3 years later.

I’m sorry about the way I phrased that… I meant in our last game for points! Oh hell, our last game!

WHY is Josh Carr?!

Inspired but he Tigers win based upon youth and speed !  Lots a new players, hopefully this mix of experience and youth gives us the drive we need.

  • 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?
