Carlton is some sort of form and no Selwood or Cameron for the cats. Duncan and Dalhaus also out dare I dreams of a blues win??

9 day break. no change.

How many times have we have a team good enough to win the first 9 games and be 12-3 in the last 50 years? answer = zero dare to dream my friend

I agree. We’ll win tonight and lose to the Hawks next week it’s fun being a demons fan!

I can't even remember the last time we took a solid contested mark inside 50. Probably T Mac 5 weeks ago If our midfield fires, our fwd line will look very good, if they don't, our fwd line will look horrible

Demons by 14 points. We will return to form tonight. we have gone from looking top 2 to looking to fall out of the top 4. MASSIVE GAME. should be a cracker

Love a Saturday twilight game. I’ll be there for sure

It is somewhat a relief to see this stat (although is is concerning) and the massive drop off in pressure. if we were still pressuring hard and losing that would be concerning I don't agree that it is the easiest thing to fix however. It is not simply a matter of trying harder, I believe the team us trying their guts out each week. It is team defence, playing your role, going back to being selfless (not falling into old habits when the opposition pressure comes), trusting your teammates to run where they should, being mentally fresh and tough We have time to get it right, but at the moment, we are a fairly easy team to run over

Must have got a ticket to the game

Port missing Robbie Gray, Fantasia, Farrell, Rockcliff and Duursma. They'd be mad to rush Butters back, either way he will be well off 100%. Port will be a worry come finals time if they get all these guys back but right now, they are beatable

I think we'll see a much better BB this time around after a good training block and a few games in the 2s Will LJ or T Mac make way? I doubt it. We'll be going tall. No rain forecast so let's do it

This site is almost unreadable after a loss

I see what you’re saying but it would still mean Brown, T Mac, LJ and Fritsch in the fwd line. Overall our fwd line would be taller and less mobile even if some compensating changes were made

interesting having an additional tall in the fwd line will not improve this either, which I guess is why they are so reluctant to bring BB back in

I once saw this formula 1 driver who didn't individually thank his crew during a pit stop. I mean it's just common decency He just drove off!

I hope an email goes out to the team to thank the trainers and water bottle folks on the field. Good lord! They are focused in an aggressive manic mindset and we want manners? and by the way if they are not focused in this aggressive crash-a-body mindset for a second they get labelled squibs or soft.

Fritsch has kicked 31.14 this year

I notice you guys that right off Viney go missing when he plays well. He just needs to be match fit, he doesn't look right and has played poorly the last two weeks. He is an important part of our team and we need him back to his best ASAP, whether that is at Casey or in the 1sts, the coaches know best

So much talk about our fwd line when the game was clearly lost in the midfield pressure, intensity, clearances are the issues that need fixing

Hope you are ok mate. Your pathological need to be right is strange. If you ever need or want to talk, pm me

No teams that has the most weeks at the top of the ladder has the right to talk of grand finals ??

We have our share of luck this year. Check the first 6 games with opposition teams either having a few injured or getting injuries during the game

Certainly would look at bringing the Weed back in. His last two weeks have been excellent and I reckon he has gained confidence

Ben Brown did zero today in the twos. anyone really think he would made a difference today? Played 2 or 3 quarters for two kicks and two frees against. And the Weed killed it

If only we had the messiah Ben Brown playing in the ones today. Didn’t play the full game obviously but two kicks and two frees against. He is banging the door down
