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

Great thread. We spend so much time analysing defeats. I'very been wondering what's made everything click. I agree with all of the above and also. Disposal efficiency has been great Our spread around the packs seems to also have more room for us than other teams. We're getting it out of packs fast and efficiently. Our whole style of playing is clicking into gear at both afl and vfl levels.

Afl is like watching aus kick right now. Just woeful. I hope the Afl doesn't respond by stuffing around with the rules. I also agree that our club is starting to blow the congestion apart and the game will open up again. Our style of play will be copied if we and the tiges keep succeeding with tough open fast footy
