My partner and I are coming down this weekend for the Saints game. My Mum who is 75 is travelling in from East Gippsland on the day to join us at the G. I haven't been to the footy with her since Jeff Farmer single handedly destroyed the pies on Queens Birthday. Good times...so long ago........ I've been an interstate / armchair member for years and years, but I'm wondering if anyone knows of a way to get some sort of decent upgrade / seats where I can keep Mum pretty comfortable and out of the breeze and the cold. I don't think she'll see too many more live games, so it would be great if I could line up a good spot for her and maybe she'll bring some luck for another win! Garlett for nine in a half??? Any help and guidance would be appreciated. Cheers, Brownie

Our forward line was so congested maybe Hogan thought his odds were better waiting for it to drop? He had a crap game and I hope he comes good. Our midfield was rubbish for two weeks. We fixed that and Port worked us out by staying back and rebounding. Should be our first priority now to counteract Ports tactics. I'm sure the saints will be out to replicate it this weekend.

Check the lengthy Brayshaw concussion thread from ways back Timbo. There's been a few medicos who have posted that the helmet makes no difference to the impact on the brain. It's more a confidence thing and I believe Gus also promised his mum and he'd wear one. We're screwed if Nev doesn't pull up. *source demonland 2017-18. Everything on this site is verified as true and correct.

Yep it was fair. Very solid hip and shoulder caught Tom square in the chest as a shepherd. We are in some strife if Jetta and Tom don't pull up.

Garlett has been average week in week out in a winning vfl side. Why bring him back.. Delivery into the 50 cost us the game tonight.

Totally agree. Should have smashed them in the first half. Our long bombs cost us. The game. Umps were a disgrace and this was the worst result of the year for me. We had the top 4 spot right there. Jetta TMAC and Viney were inspirational. Not sure why we dropped Spargos for Tyson

What was the final count each way?

$1.05

Yep. I reckon we'll know in the first ten minutes on how often our midfield get hold of the ball.

Thanks to @kevin martin and @Dee Zephyr for the reports. I'm really interested in the midfield drills. We have the best ruckman in the comp and we've been slaughtered in the midfield the last two weeks. You mentioned that Max played a slightly different role in the drills. Did there seem to be a particular focus on the taps and clearance work at the session? Cheers

I agree. We don't need wholesale changes. The midfield just need to get their s#$t together. Nothing works if we don't take advantage of Gawns work.

And now they're trying to get west coke back into it.

Totally agree. The guy wants to keep it private so let's write an article about it. As much sincerity as emperor Tang.

I think Goody said something like that in his presser. Something like "weak in close makes you look slow out wide". Needs fixing over anything else. I reckon he'll keep Spargos in and Garlett hasn't delivered in a vfl team that has won it's last 5. Frost doesn't seem to be playing well enough either just from what I've read.

Was that Cale Morton that kicked that goal?

Completely agree. Gawn dominating. Midfield pus the last two weeks. Still in it. Viney and Jones need to drive this.

The occasion has got the most of us. Hopefully we'll settle

They can spew platitudes all day long. Gimme Viney over Rance any day

How many in a row now for Casey?

Yeah Chook. Been thinking the same thing over the last 6 weeks. It's starting to click into place

I bet he gets the afl grand final because the w@#$ers at afl house and channel 7 think his dribble to players makes great TV

I think Jesse's should be goal of the week just for the comedy gold going on in the background with Gawn and his opponent while Hoges was kicking it.

Read in the vfl thread that Frost was still letting the ball get over his head and out the back yesterday. I hated those "party out the back" moments earlier this season before we tightened up. Don't think the coaches would like it either. I think hibbo will take on Levers role and wagner or smith will come in on form. Jetta can go to Cox. Nev would probably beat him ?

Some great words from Jack Viney and Nathan Jones on social media today. It's been pretty s..t being a demons supporter over the past decade but we get to walk away from all the lousy defeats every weekend. This bloke has had to front up every Monday and every pre-season and lead the club. Great to see him finally enjoying his footy.

I thought he played a great game as loose man in defence for the doggies
