So speaking of cheer squads, I was watching a replay of the GC game ( for the 6th time) and I was bemused by the antics of a young female who was seated amongst the Dees’ supporters and whose antics after Langford’s last quarter goal was to say the least , was quite a performance.
Have a look in the top right hand corner of the screen after the goal is signalled and see what you think

Gawn - dominated historical rival
Steele - best recruit ever
Sparrow - career best game
K Pickett - prolific without dominating
Sharp - continues to impress
Salem - excellent after first
Lever - impressive form continued
Windsor - great holding role
van Rooyen - probably broke even
Chandler - tackling was vital
Melksham - fountain of youth
Tholstrup - some pressure acts
Langdon - indefatigable but limited
Turner - great after first
Lindsay - regularly disposed impressively
Langford - needed more involvement
L Pickett - some important possessions
Mihocek - limited but valuable
Culley - same as Mihocek
Petty - in right places
Howes - safe and creative
McDonald - regular pressure acts
Laurie - probably wasted opportunity

Kentfield has all the ingredients to be a significant player for the Dees.
He’s strong, tough, versatile and can kick straight. I personally believe that given time he’s an upgrade on JVR because he seeks out physical contact and has the body size to cope, along with an excellent temperament for such a young man

PREGAME: Rd 06 vs Brisbane
in Melbourne Demons
Selection this week will be a real eye opener.
Will King be ruthless in a way that Goodwin rarely was, much to the supporters’ chagrin?
Will he hold firm on most of those that all supporters think have exhausted their use by date?
What message will it send to those who are retained , and those that are dropped , bearing in mind that there’s probably around 7 players we all have expectations of being demoted because of inappropriate form/performance ?
Salem, Mihocek, JVR, LP, TMac, Culley and Windsor must all be seriously considered for demotion… but does the coach bite the bullet now, or keep selecting the ‘nice guys’ to avoid the ripple effect?
