John Demonic

It was very notable how big they were against us. Breaking tackles and making them stick. Anyway, Let's hope this topic becomes irrelevant and they choke a prelim to Sydney or Freo! (And we cruise past Bris/Carl provided we lock up top 4) *I refuse to acknowledge Collingwood exist

With all this talk of 198cm Bliclavs taking out Petracca & Cripps in successive weeks. I was thinking perhaps if we meet Geelong again, we can try a tactical shift of the 199cm ruck rover Dogga on Bliclavs, Gawn in ruck, Viney/Oliver in tight. Petracca up forward. If TMAC can get back then it won't make us deficient for size up forward either.

Another premiership?

Anyone wanting a splash more confidence and belief? https://www.afl.com.au/video/798583/who-s-your-premiership-tip-?videoId=798583&modal=true&type=video&publishFrom=1657656000001 Twomey and Riley Beveridge still backing us on the AFL Exchange. Sara Olle too. They're far less reactionary and clickbait than the channel nine commentators, and follow trends/stats more closely.

He dug himself a hole when it came to his attitude towards Lever. I reckon he'd sooner get delisted after this year or next, than go to another club for 3-4 years, purely out of pride/shame, over dollars/success. So sure, maybe not the best fit for us culturally. but from a pure technical ability, he surpasses everything we have in our forward 50 currently, hence the interest.

Maybe we could package him up with our 2nd and 3rd (36+54) and do a pick swap that could get us Collingwoods 2nd and 3rd (29-32 and 47-50) at a guess 🤷‍♂️ - They need forwards, have a history of recruiting nqr tall forwards hello quentin lynch, they will want more forwards if De Goey leaves with their cap space, and then they have the family connection.

Port & Bulldogs back 6's aren't too big a step up from the VFL I reckon. Undersized and constantly out of position this year. It might be the ample two games to debut JVR

I like your work on Wednesday's 360 Mr Montagna, but I think you might be a little off the mark on us potentially missing the 8

When we were up 2 goals to zip, I did not like the Petracca hit on Selwood after he got rid of it. Selwood dump kicked it directly to us, and we would've had a shot on goal to put us up 3 goals. I know we want to mentally intimidate them and their captain, but that wasn't the right time to do it. Minor quibble, but surely against team rules to give away silly free kicks.

Meh. No doubt we have some areas to address, but I'm not fussed about Skinny stadium in July. I'm more annoyed that Nadal pulled out of the Wimbledon semi vs Kyrgios tbh. Had a big Friday night/saturday morning of all footy and tennis planned.

Of course. I was just being facetious towards this Brown v Weid debate on the team changes/selection post each week

Weid won't come in for Brown, if he doesn't perform. We'll double down on the small forward set up of Big Max and his Minions (Spargo, Kosi, Bedford & Chandler)

Noticed that too, Painful. Any Demon content is better than the afl media dross, but the deebrief could benefit from the cull of a regular guest or two to make it an easier listen. Adrian the host and a few others are fantastic though! Hope Ryan from the demon army goes on it more too, very knowledgable.

The Dogs should throw in Schache, we're running low on marking bags

Well that was a disappointing bump that had nothing to do with a CONFIRMED DEBUT haha

Clarry plays a blinder every week. Rain, hail or shiney 7 year extensions!

Ah the dreaded Norm Smith Jake Spencer curse resurfaces

Doubt it. But I wouldn't mind somehow getting their 1st round pick and Hogan involved in a 3way trade W Freo if LJ wants to go.

The comparative body types might give us a clue - let's just hope Freos first doesn't end up a Dennis Armfield

Of course, we're just playing hypotheticals here.

We would turn down two first rounds and Griffin Logue. But If Both clubs know what won't get it done this far out, then they can both work on ascertaining which "future" star will have to be swapped. And working on a dialogue that gets both the player and team to amicably agree to have the Dees take up that contract. You have to give up part your future for a different one ala Judd/Kennedy.

If there is any truth to the Damo reported rumour of LJ heading to Freo. Can we pry away Hayden Young in a pick package?

I can only see BBB coming out of the side, if he slaps a team mate with a celery stick at a vegan cafe

Poor Jake. Had a great opportunity to have 5-10 game spell at senior footy and boost his trade value and career prospects, but I recall he overestimated his abilities by diving head first into a Richmond player for a tackle (instead of keeping his feet) and he wiped himself out for 3 months and that was that.

I sincerely doubt that he would've gone for a big bump off-ball on a young fringe Richmond player like Ralphsmith or Gibcus. He saw an opportunity to do it on Prestia and he went for it. Maybe he didn't want to deliberately get him in the head, but I think it was a definite attempt to take out their best player for a certain amount of minutes, so they could get capitalise. Edit: And it's fair play if you don't get him in the head (re suspension) - but when you do, you've elevated it to the high end of the scale in terms of 120 minutes of advantage. Chris Scott would've encouraged that kind of play, he's only getting on the front foot now because it's about minimizing the weeks he'll miss via the GoOd ChAraCtEr defense. I think the intention to take out a key Richmond player supersedes any good character stuff they throw up in the next week. Either way, I don't give a [censored] about both teams. Richmond is experiencing a bit of karma for Cotchin taking out Coniglio or was it Josh Kelly? in a prelim.
