Redlagged

A sensible response, compared with some of the angry hyperbole on this thread. Brereton put the Demons in his top 3, for God's sake. What more do people want?

Several of these gentlemen - esp in the back row - I can't identify. Help!!!

I take it the comments about Sparrow's kicking and 'decision making' are meant to be funny? The 'low percentage long goal' - made with Bulldogs players charging at him - was one of the goals of the year. The second one at the start of the 4th he spotted Brown with a long and penetrating kick. It was superb - and recognised as such by Bartel on the radio commentary. Just as well he didn't pissfart around looking for options spied from the comfort of the lounge chair. Bit different out on the ground.

We had an incredibly stable team with remarkably few injuries, especially to our keys. Our three best players are Gawn, Oliver and Petracca. How many did they miss between them?

Wise words, Don't like this thread at all.

Agreed. Poor form to mock weaker clubs currently in the position we were in, very recently. Save the contempt for those that deserve it - Geelong being at the top of the list.

Spot on

Oliver is a unique player. Unique. Crucial he extends his contract when the time comes...not that far away. He will be on less money that is on offer elsewhere.

Probably want super speed on one wing if Langdon goes down with an injury. I haven't quite given up on Oskar yet. (Yet.)

That's a good analogy. Hope he's as good a player for us as Powell was. We've got a player capable of multiple best/second best on grounds (including against Richmond this year) for nothing. Can't see anything but good. There will be fierce competition for spots, and in any event injuries need to be covered. He is a better player than Jones (at this end point of his career) and Vandenburg, who we have lost.

Spot on

Yes. Fancy JJ at half back.

Yes I'd be backing the football dept over us - especially as so many of our premiership stars (as well as the coach) have been relentlessly attacked on this site at some point or other.

Harmes's disposal 'terrible'? Harsh. Superb kick in the 3rd in the GF put us back in the game.

By the way, I seem to remember a 'Trade Petracca' (or words to that effect) thread. Or am I dreaming?

Don't know why there is a question mark on this thread title. He's had an appalling run on this site. (Not the only one.) Terrific in the finals - no surprise.

Spot on. Fantastic on-body work on his opponent to allow that Sparrow goal to get over the line. It was brilliant. Noticed by Hodge on the commentary. (Don't get me started on Sparrow - did some great things. Big big future.)

I don't know. Every media person I've heard venture a tip thus far has picked Melbourne. Keep calm. (Hard, I know.)

Right on the money.

Some sensible observations here. Would be nice to get Cerra. But not at the expense of what we already have. In the meantine, there is a premiership to be won.

Getting rid of Sparrow? Crazy. Great game against Brisbane and will only get better.

Antipathy to Viney. On this site. Really really stupid. Proved'em wrong again. They never learn.

James Harmes! A bit more humble pie as a late night snack for several Demonlanders, who wanted him banished. You know who you are.

Its not April Fools Day is it?

So did I - and many others on Demonland (who have gone quiet on the matter). Amazing, isn't it, that people actually involved in the club and the game might know a little more than the geniuses on this site?
