CHANGES: Rd 17 vs Port Adelaide
Just watched the replay. The best change we can make is an operation to have the cojoined twins in Gawn and Jackson seperated. The game time those two were next to each other in marking comps was very high. And it wasnt in our fwd line. So effectively we played with two fwds. Tmac played well but mostly up the grouund as a roving chf which left Friita as our only tall Make that one fwd.....and he is not that tall. Gws defence never had it so easy. The irony of bombing it in like we had a chorus line of big men waiting to take a grab.

Time to panic?
Been that way for a while now.

We have the best defence in the comp but our clearances and lack of scoring with poor entry, poor kicking and lack of options needs to be fixed asap if we want a top four. We have won some great games but failed to bury anyone. Our percentage isnt great at 12.3. If we lose to Port in Adelaide we will be in some trouble given the games after that. I think its fair to say if we make top four from here it will be a very good effort. Next Thursday is a must win. The positive is we seem to play well when are backs are against the wall.

Good point. And smashing the odd team. Its a bad time to be losing momentum but there is still time to change.

I think we will rally. It will be tough but I think at least we will turn up and give it our all. If the club makes the necessary changes and we play our best. We can win. Its is a season defining game.

It sounded like he would at his presser but I think he will reluctantly make some changes. Others will be advising him to I reckon and Im sure Goody will see we need a tall. To be painfully obvious, our smalls cant crumb what tall defenders mark or punch to their players. Fritta is a good player but hes not big or strong enough to play full forward. He is great on a lead but the manner in which it was delivered at times didnt help. Im not even against Daw if the club is adamant bbbs not up to it I dont want to revisit weid. Whats the scoop on Mitch Brown? Is there anyone else? Should Jackson spend less time off the ball? Or should Tmac just stay in the square if he doesnt?

Are the Demons pretenders?
We are the real deal as shown by the teams we have beaten. Sadly a few players have dropped in form and our selection has been off.

Like Covid here in Nsw.... things have taken a turn for the worse. A few of us were talking about our grand finals tickets. Yes I blame you people. We are still 12 ...3 but are slipping down the ladder almost as fast as my Agl shares on the Asx. We have a tough run home too. Our mids have been all over the place and our forward line so many of us( well I was) ....excited about our options seems to have imploded. Our slow starts are a mystery and a huge problem. It may not be panic stations yet but its getting close. How big is our Port game? What needs to be done re 1. Our fwd line 2. Our slow starts. 3. Our fifty entries. 4. Our clearances.

Geez, I didnt think he was bad in the three Afl he played in and was stiff to be dropped.

And one of those goals was a gift.

If we were a side that had 25k turn up and make noise today, we very well might have got a W
Last time I made a four hour drive to see us get pantsed by the pies. How about we play better first?

Agreed but I reckon Spargo would go alright in the middle.

Trac has dramatically improved his shots on goal too so why he wasnt there was poor coaching.

POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs GWS
Its scary that this time next week we may be fifth or sixth on the ladder. Its good that we finish hard but not if we are losing. Our poor starts are a huge issue. Olivers first halves have been ordinary for a few games. Our errant kicking has also plagued us. But our lack of a tall is somthing that we all talked about. From goodys comments it sounds like its not a big issue. Talked about losing two games with two talls and only losing one game with three. Mmmm. Its still a loss Simon. Ifs hes so happy with two talls why did he have weid in for five weeks? Jackson and Gawn spent little time inside our fwd fifty and when they were there the ball was often there before them. Goody is a stubborn coach. It can be a positive but his reluctance to not see what so many others have has been a negative. Maybe its not bb. Its not weid. Why not trial m. Brown or Daw. Anybody... to at least make a contest. Why have them? If we have to travel for a final its a huge impairment. Come on Simon, mix it up...do somthing different. Change is good sometimes. Now is the time. If it aint broke.... Well we all know it is.

Thats not a great repprt re bb. Has he been tapped for Thursday? If not we are back to weid again. My goodness. Maybe mitch b is the answer. I dont have any. We are still 12. 3 but we have a non functioning fwd line. I hope we can remedy it very soon.

CHANGES: Rd 17 vs Port Adelaide
Then why was sparticus our tallest fwd at times in the past two games. One of the Browns may not win us games but certainly cant make us score less. So bring one in.

Actually I commented how the boys came out laughing and smiling. Thought it was a good sign.....enjoying themselves....confidence. Turned out to be just a lack of intensity and passion.
