Docs Demons

I'd have to be the worst super coach ever. Fancy having Jackson as 2nd ruck. 25 fantasy points nearing 3/4 time. He needs to put a performance in the last like the 3rd qtr in the GF to even get above 50 points. He is struggling big time at the Dockers.

Hi all from up here in Qld. Can someone tell me if JVR is playing in this game as I have not seen him.

Think we will win fairly convincingly providing the forwards get up and about. Having Max or Grundy down there may help but would love JVR to finally step up and show us what he is made of. He is lucky to still be in the team IMV as he was just as bad as TMac last week. Go get them JVR. Please.

Well Jacko made his bed and has to lie in it. Couldn't be better for us. They are struggling, Jacko doing nothing, we have Grundy who would eat Jacko for breaky and some high draft picks coming our way. Lovely stuff.

Think you will find Nankervis will be out. Whilst we all had the Bombers game down as a win which was a bit cocky by us, this game should be a given !!

Haven't read all the comments but will put my 2 bobs worth in. Agree with Goody it just wasn't us who turned up for the game. We were lethargic, slow and just had no up and go. All the young lads plus TMac and Tommo had ordinary games. HOPEFULLY WONT HAPPEN AGAIN.

Need huge lift next half. We played as if just turning will get us the win. To many passengers for my liking and some not willing to put the body on the line. Goody must change the side around to find something. Mids getting thumped and maybe a blessing with Spargo who had one touch hopefully gets subbed out and JJ comes in to give us a bit of grunt. Very sloppy performance so far.

AND remember best for themselves. More money for Kozzie means more money for the manager. That aside wonder what that ex Port so called champion has to say now particularly when he said Kozzie will go to Port as his uncle, Bryon was an ex player there. He forgot Bryon also played at the Demons. Great Bryon is backing us in this saga.

I'm with a few of you with Brown out (injured or rested) and Kozzy in. We will be quick and ball movement will be awesome. No other changes unless injury wise.

Great win in the end but early I thought we were a bit sloppy with our hand balls and kicking disposals however our never say die attitude kept us harassing the Swans and when Brown went off we seemed to be a different team. Poor old BBB appears to run on the same spot and when Melky came on, albeit he didn't light up the G we just seemed to be better balanced and moved the pill better into the forward line.

Spot on Dee S. Whilst the Swannies have owned us a bit of late, the games have in the main, have been close. I think this game is a real test for the team and ALSO the Coach and his deputies. They should know by now what the Swans do to us so I'm looking for a response from all and sundry.

I'm with you Layzie and keep him in IF fit however, as with Brownie I also was at the Gabba and TMac certainly has a problem somewhere. He looked very slow and awkward, got man handled out of marking and rucking contests and just did not look right to me. If there is a issue they must rest him to get him cherry ripe for the long season ahead.

Went to watch Grandson play today in a under 17 praccy game for Mt Gravatt against Broadbeach and didn't realise that Kalani was playing until I saw him and Jeff after the game. He did not dominate however he looks like a lad that could develop into a very good player. Some nice grabs and goals. He towers over his old man but needs some filling out. Chatted briefly with Jeff after game and despite our loss Friday he reckons we will go OK. Love the confidence. Funny weekend as met another White yesterday at Granddaughters basketball but this time a ex Lions player who in my view was a great player in Darryl.

And I would suggest their Coach.

That would be nice to pay back the Swans but I thought we were going to do the same last night.

I used mine for this one but Josh can use his at the Suns game.

Keep Lions guessing

I hope the team trained with soap on the pills as it could be quite damp with humidity up here Friday night. 31 during day and min of 20 overnight. Be a warm one. Looking forward to going and trust we play like the last round in 22. Not the final!!!

From what the Fox guys were saying it is only one month difference between the 2 sides in age and games played so I would say the Magpies game plan is the worry for the Cats. Remember the Pies should have won that prelim last year.

Will have sons and grand kids around to watch on Fox and as its early evening game by Qld time, tossing up whether to eat before or at half time however leaning towards half time as you should not EAT on a empty stomach. Might need a few VB's to ease the nerves prior to game, then maybe a red when we have it in the bag.

Would prefer to back someone that knows the game like Buckley. He has Oliver, Gawn and May in his best 5. 3/5 not bad.

Let's leave Fritta and WCW alone for now and get back on track with the practice game tomorrow. Will be watching on Fox up here in Qld and expect a good work out as the Tigers have a pretty good team. Likewise us so should be a cracking game providing the wind down there at Casey is kind.

Might have been just a practise match but the Weid di himself no favours. Sounds familiar.

Also my favourite GF since 64,

Maybe some do not value him but please take care to read the first sentence of my post. Thanks.
