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

Gold ?

If we lose, I'm going outside without a mask after curfew. I'm going to run from the police and lick some traffic light buttons and hand rails let me get covid and let the pain end!

And this week's rising star nomination goes to......

I imagine Gawn will have to play along half back a lot with O Mac out. Crows missing: Sloane, B Crouch, Milera, Stengle, Hartigan We will smash them in the middle if we turn up. we just need to lower our eyes

Petracca, Oliver and Viney is an excellent starting midfield. Oliver is quick off the mark and has the quickest hands I've ever seen Petracca has X factor, Viney is an animal Add Jackson in their soon enough with his ruck and 2nd efforts and mobility So Loyd can GGF

T Mac needs to take a bath in WD40 his body just cannot allow him to be agile enough to play Key fwd
