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.

    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

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • 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.
