If I was Goodwin and those three were up for selection, there is zero doubt who I would pick - AVB. He gives more than stats, manic pressure, aggression. aside from the goal he was handed last week, Bennell had four touches and looked so far off the pace. obvious decision for me and no favouritism

We could kill for another inside midfielder right now

Out of interest, were you asking for Spargo to be dropped when he played most games when we made it to a prelim? the kid is 20. He might not make but how about giving him a chance. He has proven he can at least be handy. I admit he was poor last year

I’m taken back to the start of 2019, many people begging for Pruess to be selected. Goodwin has no idea, etc and then Pruess played a couple of games and everyone went quiet

Have a look at Hunts last couple of games. Pathetic. He should be in the team but he lost the chance. Show some intensity and consistency and he might stay in.

Good changes. Bennell was not up to standard last week. Pruess needs to improve his around the ground efforts to be considered some good pace in Hannan and Kozzi and Spargo can be the link man less inside mids also a good thing

The big decision is do we play Pruess who has no match fitness and doesn’t do much around the ground or do we go with make shift rucks. tomo/weed/etc id go the latter cant wait to see Gus in the middle

If anyone bothered to listen to what Garry said, he as the host of the post game coverage, asked the question to Brown would that result have happened if it was Dangerfield. Brown said plainly - No. then they briefly discussed it saying maybe 2 weeks would have been more appropriate. So Garry has been helping us and raising the hypocrisy, even though it would put his career in the Media in jeopardy

It was so obvious that little Adelaide fella was stopping Gawn getting to contests, surely thus is not allowed?? Bit of push n shove us fine but wtf? 3 umps on the ground. great to see Goody stick up for Gawn and not lay down like we do usually

Not sure it'll be that. I assume we will have 3 games in 2 weeks like the rest, we just won't have a bye like all other teams aside from essendon

Absolutely agree. The main difference I see if that Hamill is a skinny kid and Danger is a 30yo bull so one was concussed and the other not. Burgoyne's action was equivalent to ANBs on the first offence and he got off. anything more than 1 week - now that've apparently changed the rule is a [censored] joke

Hilarious game at the moment 29 inside 50's to 10 to pies. Sydney winning!

I'm a bit of a punter too. I reckon we are the harshest critics of the Demons. Objectively, we are in better form: 3 wins from last five Vs 1 win from last 5. North have key players out, probably ~6 best 22 injured. We have more talent. but of course none of that means we will win! but on a neutral ground, I'll back us

We got the job done. They were very physical in the first half, clearly set themselves for this game. viney was crucial in the first half with his toughness. but let’s not get carried away. They are as poor a team as we were in 2013. bring on north

Gawn rested O Mac in

we basically played one short. unless he commits to put his body on the line, I'm not sold on playing him

Oliver May Viney Petracca Langdon Lever

I reckon Lloyd is right, we should trade Clarry ?

Viney setting the tone early. solid leadership

Dry night, Petracca should bounce back and dominate. 30 touches and 2 goals Fritsch, Melk and Harley in for good ones too

Can the mods please suspend any posters discussing their holidays and the weather in Europe?? thanks.

Nice preview I'm surprised Ben could hold the mike with that massive gold watch weighing his arm down!

some nervous, negative demons fans today! you know we lost to the top team last week right? I know it was a pathetic performance but we'll bounce back and win this. Its next week against North we need to worry about The Demons are usually good for one decent week after a pityful performance

After last week I will take a win against anyone! We should win by 6 goals plus. Will leave us 4-5 and up against another bottom team in north who lost 6 in a row and only beat the crows get some cohesion and form back and we could get something out of the season yet

Perhaps O Mac broke some core team rules or something? or saying other didn't but he is still pretty young so he will learn from it and come back better
