Docs Demons

As I just mentioned in the Changes thread the Govt up here still has Vics banned. If the AFL get permission to fly in/out then it better get sorted tonight as it doesn't give the club and players much time to prepare and gives Suns a huge start. Train in the wet at Casey today. Play in the warm sunshine Saturday up here if it goes ahead. Be a huge effort to win this one if this is the case.

Not to sure if we have a ground to play on at moment so no need to do changes. Heard on news up here that you poor Mexicans ( I was once one) are still banned. Got no idea what is going on but in any case if we get to play somewhere I just hope we get a decent team on the ground that can actually pass to a team mate. Be great to see.

I reckon our issue is similar to the past in that our bottom 6 or so players are now not putting in as much as earlier in year. When we were winning well all players were contributing including our so called bottom 6. We need a even contribution from all to be a finals chance

Couldn't agree more Binman. Dogs skills were so far better than ours. They actually kick it to a team mate!!. Bont and Mcrae hardly miss a target whereas Trac and Oliver just throw it on boot and hope for best. They, unfortunately are not alone. Bont also in that last quarter showed the difference in Captains. He lead and carried the team particularly when we got close whilst Gawn played OK but he is not yet a leader like Bont. He needs to show a bit more grunt and enthusiasm to lift his mates when it gets tough.

Don't mind the weid in for Jacko as he is way off at the moment. Still a kid and will be a great player for us but is not doing enough and even can't mark over smaller opponents. Would keep Jordon and give Spargo a spell. Similar to Jacko and not giving us enough as a small.

I think you do not know much about footy Picket. Viney did well tonight. At least he showed some leadership.

I am very bullish on this game. Well I think so as I will be picking them and only a couple behind in HS and AFL tipping comps. Assuming the leaders will go with the Dogs our Demons might help me catch up a bit. You have this Dees.

Spot on Brownie. When opposition put huge pressure on like Hawks did we seem to fold and go back to the past. This is where our midfield leaders need to stand up and lead the way. Unfortunately not happening and they just throw the ball onto boot and hope for best.

I'm with you on Jackson. Give him a spell. Does not impact the game at all.

Not for long.

The last 5 rounds we have gone WLWLW. We cannot afford to be slack on Saturday. Must come with total focus and win by heaps. But I will take a win by what ever margin. Need this to keep the wolves at bay.

That Daniher has no genes from his old man or Uncles. He is as soft as Western Star.

Agree. I'm south of Brisbane and was looking forward to seeing us live at Metricon. Stuffed me up big time. Will now look forward to flights etc. back to old home town of Melbourne to watch a final.

Just about our best win so far. Picked them to win by 16 points. Off the margin but happy for the team. Now we must get back to basics and turn up next 2 games and give Hawks and Suns some horrible beltings. Will turn up at Metricon for Suns game being only one up here in Qld and do not want to see the same performances as against Crows, Magpies and Giants.

This rule is a joke. Even at first bounce Boak got ball we tackled him correctly and he dropped it but received the free because we held on to him after he dropped it. Has me totally confused. In my days it was dropping/holding the ball every time.

Unfortunately have not seen him kick many or any from 40.

I would like him to just play. Would also help if he can kick a goal or two but I suppose he would have have a shot from the goal square.

Think you might find me as leading and will give you a heads up. I'm going for the Dees as picking them in every game this year has helped my tipping scores. Also IF we win I reckon I'd go further in front as majority will pick Port. I hope so in any case. Do it for me Dees.

We all need to remember that it is not all doom and gloom. The 3 losses have been by minimal amounts with Magpies winning by 17 points I think, being most so whilst we are playing crap at moment it only needs a little tinkering, a few players to get back to their best, the bottom 6 to again put in and on and upwards we go. I hope so .

We need Ben Brown in big time. He will take their main defender in Jonas I would suspect and he will straighten us up giving TMac/Fritta etc. the chance to roam and be more potent plus allowing the smalls to shark off Brown. By the way the smalls have to be in the right spots not under the talls feet but 10-20 yards away to grab the spoils.

I don't think we are pretenders. You don't get to 12 and 3 being a pretender and also all losses by small margins. Last I looked we are still top for at last a few hours and this season is very even. Win enough coming home to stay top 4 and anything can happen however I would like it to start next week please.

Yep that was bad. Now lost to Crows, Magpies and Giants. All well below us on ladder. It basically has stuffed our chances of a top 2 finish let alone top 4 but then again we might come out next week and beat Port BUT not with this team.

And the rest of the forwards are playing in the stands with the supporters!

Yes but so it was for the Bombers. If we play close to, or at our best we will win easily. Peeing down up here in Brisbane and can't wait to watch this game. Agree Kozzie is due and just trust we get a few supporters to the G today to give our team a lift.

Correct daisycutter. Not sure why some are complaining as basically we have a half day extra rest than Port. No injuries for us tomorrow please.
