Here goes the negative spin again from Barrett.  He takes every chance to pile into the Dees. Even when we are transparent and open, he wants a negative spin.  I mute him on the Tv now.  He loves the hate!!! 666 is his number. 
 

IF ...

it's been on off-season of declarations of love and positivity, and some more love, and then some more love after that ...

THEN ...

while I don't yet believe it, I don't mind the public strategy planning behind it. It ultimately won't mean anything, though, if the Demons don't get back into the finals.

I like this team.

I think having AJ and Jeffo with JVR makes for a more dynamic forward setup, particularly as I think AJ will ruck more than he usually would against a depleted GWS ruck lineup allowing us to both rest Max and throw him forward. Also AJ is tough, he will take the pressure off JVR to crash every contest and should give him a chance to get some looks on a lead. The downside might be that it does mean Fritsch MUST play with intensity and tackle, we saw some of it this preseason but we also saw him look disinterested and not chase also, I hope he brings his intent. He’ll get good looks as a third/fourth forward but he needs to bring a pressure game. 

Finally we get to see JVR as a permanent full forward!! Rip em apart Roo!!

Jeffo did some good things against North, I like Disco but he hasn’t set the world on fire in the PS games. If Jefferson brings his best it could be exciting and we won’t lose a heap. 

Langford and Lindsay are class, GWS are lacking inside mids and with Green either not playing or coming back from a calf having another bull to throw in there allowing Trac, Clarry and Viney to be thrown forward at stages is huge! Lindsay looked at home against Freo, I’m excited to see him. 


Also while I’m excited to see what Henderson can do geez Kynan Brown is stiff, tackling machine, quick, does some nice things. Looked good when he came in against North in preseason. Would’ve thought he’d be a chance. 

Go Dees!

I’d absolutely love for AJ to make a position his own for the year. I think he’d make us stronger structurally. Turner and Jefferson competing for the other tall role…….First up…..Matthew Jefferson

I am a few hours behind Melbourne and i have just seen the team. 
Good Luck to our new players, hopefully last nights game gave them a spark on what is possible with full commitment 

Please Kick Straight Demons…

Hope I am wrong, but feel this is too many newbies against a potential top 4 list.  Good luck to them, a lot of weight on the rest of the team to look after them and produce a win.  Got a feeling the 4 points  might go Giants.  Anyway go hard dee's.

We'll certainly know which of the new guys are ready for AFL. Don't mind the approach. Good luck boys

I’m all for it. With Pickett, Spargo, TMac, Melksham, McVee and Tholstrup all likely to return it seems we have a bit of extra depth about the place. 

Don’t jump to conclusions

Seriously though, didn't he mention that he's travelling along the coast for the next few weeks? He may not even be there for his boy's debut!

Fantastic recruiting has meant we actually have depth now

This will put a rocket under guys like Turner to not just expect to be picked but to earn it

Turner has had the odd good game but is no world beater.

Agree. good hands and kick but doesn’t get involved enough yet. 17 goals last year from 15 games

Hopefully it comes

Johnson has reached his ceiling as a player and will be handy on occasions, Jeffo.... The Sky is his to take!

But will he pf, I am all for playing Jefferson but not sure this is the week. I am also not convinced he has another level.
