Docs Demons

lI can say is BYE BYE

It's VB for me up here in Qld. Keep the Vic in me going.

Yes very strange recruiting by the Blues. They already had the likes of Docherty who doesn't pick up a man then go and recruit Williams and Saad who also do not know how to defend. All receivers.

I have no worries if they play him and Lester as they will be under done. Gives us an edge I reckon.

Agree but most of their other payers aren't. I was at Metricon last year us V Lions and all they did was bump, push, scrag Gawn off the ball all game. Umpires did nothing so no doubt they will do same and we can only hope the Umpires do something this time.

I just hope whoever they bring in just plays their role and all the boys get a bit nasty on the Lions and give it to them. Lions have had it nice and easy up here and no doubt will go trough their normal routine whereas I assume we fly in and out on day. Be a great win when we get it done.

Up here in Brissie there is no restrictions so yes the Lions train as per normal

In the pre game picked us to win by 26. Only a couple out but boy have we some more improvement to go. Excited what this club can do as I think again we were not at our best but did what was required. Great effort and bring on the Lions wherever we may play.

I'm slightly confident in as much as selected us to win by 26 points. Mad I know but have a gut feel that the Weid and Fritta may actually play tonight as I didn't see them last week. Petty to also finally have a break out game and the rest perform to their best and a win is coming. I hope!!

Concur Lord Nev. We looked a bit flat plus Crows played well and Umpires didn't assist (late any way) and we only lost by a point. So it's not all doom and gloom in my view. Other than Oliver no one else dominated so get 6-7 more fired up and we are still a chance Friday night. Have to be at our best.

Let's see what happens with Casey today then select.

Agree but he needs to start taking some grabs for us and stop fumbling. Thought he was a bit off yesterday but plenty of upside

Weids, Spargo, ANB, Petty, Jacko, Jetta, Fritta - DID THEY PLAY

Give them all to Oliver please. Rest just average.

Boy oh boy Earl. Our forward line today was supposed to stretch a young and inexperienced Crow backline. But I see we only had a couple playing in forwards as Spargo, ANB, Weids plus TMac did next to nothing. Agree with Sparrow and BBB in and hope Salem is fit. Doubt Viney will play. Harmes to stay and Jetta unfortunately has played his last game with Weids and Melk also out. We played crap away from home and only lost by a point so something to take out but we need to improve about 25% to be in with a chance against the Dogs.

Sound like the Tigers Coach!!! I think we lost it not the Umps

I'm with you Mono. No change. Give Jacko an extra week to fully recover from his finger injury and he will be cherry right for Dogs, Lions and Pies then gets another rest. Let the Weid and BB have another game together and Chandler to stay also and hopefully show us what's he got against Crows. Then we have massive decisions for Dogs game.

AND the scary thing is he will get even BETTER

You do not rest players for sake of resting. If badly sore/half injured yes but we play our best side each week and remember in a few weeks they all can have a rest at the bye. Never, NEVER put players out for a rest only. Keep the system going as it seems to be OK to me.

Yep it is all up to Sam now. Has his chance and MUST take it. Time to perform Sam for yours and teams sake.

Yep Clint. We need to sort this out ASAP and at least even it up. We win our share of centre clearances which allows BBB and TMac plus the smalls to be one out and good chances for quick goals. Keep it up same as last night and very difficult to keep kicking winning scores from back half.

We certainly have quite a few older, long suffering supporters. I was 12 at the time and went to the game with a mate and his dad. What sticks out for me about that day was after the game we raced to the rooms as in those days you could get into the rooms after the game. On this GF day though we couldn't get into our rooms as they were full, so we went into the Magpies rooms and there was big Gabbo sitting down in his full kit with a bottle of Melb Bitter in his hand. Never will forget it.

How's the weather down there for us Qld fans. Will the forecast rain hold off ?

He's still only young as a key forward and really has done nothing to excite me. Potential is such a bad word. This aside I hope he stays with this group as his time will come and be a big part of the dynasty that is building. Stay with a group that is gong places or get a game in a shambles of a side/club for sake of playing one's. For me I would bide my time as a game is not that far away. Then it is up to him to deliver.

Also as the years move on you would think the cap will go higher therefore money to cover Kozzie and Jacko etc.
