Shifting magnets isn't the solution to our key forward issues. 

Bottom line is we need more from JVR. I love his attack on the footy and has a beautiful kicking action, but I'm becoming very concerned at his inability to read the ball flight coming in. Watched him run under it too many times last week. Maybe Lever can impart some wisdom on him in this area.

    Sicily does a good job as a swingman. May would be good at it as well.

    I reckon Petty is the perfect swingman. Strong contested grab, usually a good kick for goal and is still young.

    I think we'd be saying something different if Hogan played.

    TMac beat Cadman a number of times, but Hogan killed TMac last year.

    Without May, we'd have been in strife I reckon.

    I couldn't agree more. As demonstrated by the failed Petty experience.

    But unfortunately, more a necessity.

    And sure Jvr needs to improve but he's still young. The finger of suspicion points squarely at Fritta first. Well and truly .

    And moving May fwd allows for Jvr in the ruck who after watching on Sunday is clearly our second best option. Jvr in the middle more when Max needs a break would help negate the need for May in  defence.

    Only if we are 100 points up in the Grand Final with 5 mins to go

    And we're still only 50/50 to win it.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?

    • CASEY: Collingwood

      It was freezing cold at Mission Whitten Stadium where only the brave came out in the rain to watch a game that turned out to be as miserable as the weather.
      The Casey Demons secured their third consecutive victory, earning the four premiership points and credit for defeating a highly regarded Collingwood side, but achieved little else. Apart perhaps from setting the scene for Monday’s big game at the MCG and the Ice Challenge that precedes it.
      Neither team showcased significant skill in the bleak and greasy conditions, at a location that was far from either’s home territory. Even the field umpires forgot where they were and experienced a challenging evening, but no further comment is necessary.
