Docs Demons

AND they are playing this arvo up in Sydney in most likely a bog. We have extra day rest with no apparent injuries so I'm confident we can go 2 zip as long as the Mids have got the rust out of them and improve 5%

Give him a break. I hope he makes you eat your words BBP

We went on for a couple of years with Hogan. Please don't do the same with Oscar. Let's stay tuned on our players and not those that left please. It is over.

And both good backlines. Could be a low scoring game.

I also have a league called Demons Time ( Just hope it is sooner than later). Code 584782. Feel free to join in. Also have one in Dream team (Sports Deck Real Fantasy Dream Team) also named Demons Time with code 779423. Hop in here as well.

You can bet your last $ Bing that if we lose the media and us long suffering supporters will get stuck into the players and Goody. Then if we win the media will say we beat a depleted team. We do not win any which way which is the norm with us until we get some consistent performances in.

Had many beers at the old Whitehorse Pub listening to him back in the days. He and band were great live.

He might help !

We have not had any angry players since Danny Hughes and Rodney Grinter. Boy we could do with them in this team even to run through a few of the so called big names at training.

Dub. They only played (or some did) on Monday so would imagine today would have been a light run to get niggles etc. out. Maybe Friday for those not playing for Casey will be tougher.

Biffo. I think we need to play Petty instead of Tomlinson plus Salem in for Bowey who will benefit from games at Casey. Kozzie in for Spargo plus the Mids that didn't play and we start to get a half decent side. Hibbo will need a couple more weeks. I reiterate past comments that I'm worried with our depth. Just hope most of the newbies get some consistent runs at Casey and start to improve.

Agree Earl on our lack of game plan and that sits with the coach but what worries me most is those mid range players and our kids are just not improving. Understand Jones and Jetta will not improve but we are struggling big time with depth and having Harmes, AVB, Tomlinson, Spargo in the side as plodders does not sit well with me. Even the Dogs today who played nearly their best side had a couple of kids that shone. Couldn't say the same about ours.

And in the main their on field teammates deserved the abuse.

Have to agree Kev. Unfortunately our 1-3 year players are either just not good enough or are not trained properly. I think it maybe the former. Most other teams have a smokey that comes to light in the praccy games but not us. I cannot see anything in these players to give me confidence going forward and boy they missed tackles or gave stupid frees away. Our depth is poor. Adding to this is the mid range players like Jones, Harmes, Tomlinson, Jetta, AVB ( who was pathetic) and of course the normal culprit in Spargo. These guys gave us nothing and when the team needed them big time to stand up. We may get about 3 players back for the first round but will still need a couple of these mid range or 1-3 year players in the side which to me is a worry. Again it will be our bottom 6 or so players that will drag us down. I will give LJ some slack but he also needs to start showing me he can be the star we are waiting for. Dogs just pushed him off the ball to easily for my likening and he is not jumping for someone who is supposed to have a great leap. Finally TMac has to stay. We just do not have anyone else. Also on TMac. He must stay in as we have nothing else at present

Will not be a walk in the park. Their defence is good and we need our forwards that are standing and selected to step up and pressure their players. Our defence will hold up and all it needs is midfield to connect with forwards and we should get a win but by no means will it be a easy win. Plenty of respect for the Dockers.

Cheers and thank goodness. OD needs to give the source a thorough flogging.

Thanks heaps Picket. From the Praccy match thread some concern re Tom Mac. To put the rumour at rest ( I hope) did he train mate?

Poor coaching or not. Does it occur to anyone that maybe, just maybe our girls are not good enough or are they and it is solely the coach ???. Me thinks a bit of both. Like the men's we fall away on talent big time.

Appears to me that we are a bit soft. Dogs roughed us up and now pies and we can't handle it. Every team now will go at us hard and look for us to roll over which is happening here and last week.

Jones can get to 300 Werridee but he must earn his spot. If others in his position are performing better then naturally he sits out at Casey until he knocks the door down. I hope he gets there but we can't gift it to him

Listening to Lamb (I think) during the one's mentioned we may only take 2 by early March and keep a spot for mid year selection. So if correct and only 2 spots available the Wiz Jnr may miss out. Who knows but will be tough on who ever misses.

Still can't kick

Werridee we will have to wait until Channel 7/9/10/Fox or Sen let us know as for sure you will get nothing from the club!!

They keep on emailing us etc to buy membership but treat their members poorly. Not rocket science to at least give a little bit of info on the website

Great photos. Observations , Daw is one hell of a unit. Good to see Gus & Jack training with I assume the main group and not rehab. Smith with no knee bandage
