What a difference a dry deck makes.
Doing it easily essentially without Kozzie, Viney Sparrow and Harmes. Jones and Vanders back in for the Eagles games.

Despite missing out on being at yesterday’s game on the Goldy, I’ll make up for it today. I just fired up the BBQ in my Demons polo and a pair of shorts for a brunch before the game. 27 degrees and cloudless in beautiful Bris Vegas today! Already on the CC’s.
Go Dees! [censored] this rabble! BBB to kick 6!

Quick question - why was the flight into Brisbane Airport and not Coolangatta? Plenty of VA metal flying into OOL still?
A delightful 100k ride in a balmy 28deg Northern Rivers down to Evans Head preceding a Peroni and the game.
Hope everyone is similarly situated ????
It was originally going to Coolangatta but re-directed when information regarding the lockdown was received.

Even kids netball and local Winter comp cricket matches were cancelled. I’m so angry I want to break something!
Then again, I guess NRL players are known for their intelligence and sense of responsibility……….

How’s this for double standards???
I just read this on the ABC News website…..
ABC News: Despite 11 Queensland LGAs being plunged into lockdown, the NRL will finish round 20 of the competition in Brisbane today and tomorrow.
The schedule change came just hours after Queensland Chief Health Officer Jeannette Young said no professional or community sport would be played during lockdown.
"There will be no football matches," she said at Saturday's media conference announcing the three-day lockdown.
"No community sport, no professional sport for the next three days."

King, Ainsworth and Sexton to have a field day then ?
Thank God Rankine is out or we could slot him in for 6!

A magnificent morning on the Gold Coast. Bone dry and not a cloud in the sky. Very suitable for tall, marking forwards and very quick smalls to impact the scoreboard.

Jackson is not going to solve this problem
He's not a natural forward and doesn't have that grunt in him that we need
Much easier said than done but we need a Naughton, King Brothers, McKay - hell even a Larkey type forward
Best to go to the draft and try scoop somethingErrrrr Jacko is 19 years old. Have another look at him in 2023.

Gday fellow Queensland Demos supporters.
Anyone planning on going to Metricon on Saturday arvo to watch the might Dees?
I will be there ‘stinga in The Lounge area. Looks like it is going to be a warm, fine day and conditions conducive to a big score.

We got smashed in the midfield, yet most our votes have gone to midfielders!!!
On reflection I should have given more votes to our backs.
Also who was on Daniel's - he destroyed us.
Not a single soul apparently.

Rain is the enemy. We need a few more percentage points in the bank. We need to make the absolute most of our scoring shots today.

The Hawk fan? I could really, really hurt him.

Harmes has the skill set to be a very good tagger. Where he lets himself down is when he gets the ball. Instead of dishing it off and matching up again on his opponent, he is inclined to want to break tackles and take the game on often leaving his direct opponent free. All he has to do is sacrifice that overambitious part of his game and make his opponents life difficult.
Yes, there will be the odd opportunity to take a mark and perhaps kick a goal but his primary focus has to be his opponent not getting the footy.

ANB out for Sparrow?
Vanders/Melksham in for Harmes who is medi-sub?

Fanatique Demon……..Really? Thanks for that lesson in a very common metaphor. (It originated in the Fables of Aesop incidentally)
Skuit said “Chinese shop” and I ran with that thinking it was humourous. FWIW my wife is Chinese and I speak fluent Mandarin having lived and worked in that country for many years. I’m the last person to aim racist remarks at the Chinese.
Why are people so keen to bring race into every comment and argument when often the writer/speaker has no intention of bringing racial commentary into the text/conversation? The spontaneity of humour has suffered due to the extreme sensitivity of some people and I feel sad about that. If I caused you offence however, I apologise.
Oh yeah. I speak French too. Your name should read Démon Fanatique if we are going to be picky about “correctness”. ?

I liked "bull in a Chinese shop".
I can visualise bowls of noodles and chopsticks flying through the air and patrons flying through windows. ?

My view is that the guys have played well above my expectations this year and I have enjoyed the wins. We have the skill set to be a huge GF contender and we only need to look at the wins against the Dogs and the Lions to quantify that.
We still don’t have that elusive Plan B though….
CHANGES: Rd 21 vs West Coast
in Melbourne Demons

I’d like to see a couple of changes too but unless TMac is injured, it would take a very brave selection committee to dump players after a 16 goal win.
