He obviously has the potential 

What’s with all the extra negativity OD? We’re only one round into the season. 

Anything you are excited to see on Sunday?

Aside from a win of course

I just don't see our side being as good as I thought we might be over summer. Seems we are back to relying on players who having proven to be B talents over last few years.

    add in May, Pickett and Windsor and things look a little different I think.

    I don’t really get too worked up about team selections. But it does do my head in a little bit watching a club pick a debutant as sub play them for a quarter then drop them. I just don’t think it’s fair on the player, I get it if there is no one else available but that wasn’t the case last week.

    Yes they are definitely problems. It's difficult seeing them back before the Geelong  game. Well Kossie won't be for sure.

    I very much doubt he’ll be sub. We need our best kickers with games in the tank. We’re trying to get better and develop synergy with a new plan. He’s absolutely part of it

    Spargo has been hugely underrated on here, although I sense the tide is changing and many are getting on the same page vis a vis his importance to our team.

    Looking forward to seeing him back out there.

    And happy with those changes.

    Langford is gonna be a gun, let him bang down the door at VFL level and get some continuity there. He doesn't have a position at the moment.

    Let Langford dominate at Casey for a Month and then bring him in absolutely cherry ripe. I'm a Spargo fan and I'm also a Turner fan. I'd also love Woewodin to work towards replacing Howes but I reckon he'll be the sub this week. I'd love for one or both of Woewodin and Laurie to take the next step. I fear it's unlikely but stranger things have happened.

    True OD we have had a lot of injuries so far, fingers crossed we can have a decent run for the rest of the year.

     

    Melbourne. unfortunately, have no gear change in them or any kind or secret weapon for that matter. whenever the opening siren sounds to signal the beginning of a last quarter. Kangaroos will go close here as they are not as bad as they used to be, and Melbourne are not as good as they used to be. Prediction this year for Melbourne is 13th place.

    Jeez Bro, remind me not to go to the footy with you. It'll be a little close for a half and then we'll smash North. Prediction for this year is Premiers or agonisingly close.

    The operative words being 'a little different'. Unfortunately, not a big enough difference, as most sides have figured out how to beat the Demons regardless of who is in the side.

    Kids get dropped. Some of you act like playing VFL is akin to punishment.

    Langford is going to be a gun but he is vying for minutes in the strongest area of our team. Even Rivers is struggling to get midfield minutes and he is beyond ready for that role.

    I think that Spargo might work well with Turner. Turner makes good position, Spargo is our best deliverer after Melksham: they might form a good combination.

    It's the continuation of the last half of last season that worries me. Ended last year with multiple losses and started this year with a loss. Some new players who look to be talented but still the same result.

    And Langford's career will be delayed 4 weeks as a result, a shocking result for us

    I’m personally happy a premiership player is regaining his form of old in a new position, hitting the scoreboard and cracking in with hard tackles but each to their own 

    Langford will get games when he earns them

    I'm a Spargo fan, he cracks in and is a good kick.  My only gripe is bringing him back underdone.   It happened last time and frankly he should play VFL for a couple of weeks.

    The best result for us is having Sparrow play good footy. Langford has plenty of time and the people in the know think he’s best served playing at Casey for a few weeks. Thats a fine result.

    I wouldn’t be smiling if I’m 30 years old, un-contracted at the end of year and can’t get a game despite a quarter of the list being unavailable

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
