Docs Demons

Like watching grass grow.

Back to the forum topic. IMO our form has been pretty good. Can be better but I know one thing and that is, if we bring the pressure to the Hawks like we did against Carlton, it will be a one horse race. Pressure , pressure and more pressure and the forward entries will follow and hopefully some decent forward entries to our forwards advantage. Be nice wouldn't it?

The mugging by opposition players in EVERY game on Max is a joke and the umpiring dept or AFL senior people need to do something because our own club will not. I've watched 2 games up in Brissie live and to see the amount of players bumping, blocking and grabbing him even when the ball is miles away is beyond a joke.

And add in the lack of supply. He may well have dominated if we had as many inside 50's as the baggers. Particularly in that 1st qtr.

Agree Dwight but still a bit worried with Salem's kicking penetration at the moment. Doesn't seem to get any power in his kicks. Could be wrong. Carlton were very good and look out for them in finals if they bring that pressure and include McKay, Cerra, Walsh. McGovern and Silvagni. We had quite a few down so plenty of upside for us.

This stuff about the umpires etc. etc. and was the ball touched or not is stupid. Face the facts, the Blues were better than us tonight for most of the game. We had that many passengers and again it was a few that kept us in it. Salem has lost his power in kicking. Once upon a time he would hit up a team mate 50 yards away with a low hard bullet. Now he has trouble kicking further than Spargo. Max got worked over and again we had no forwards. JVR was just a player along with Melk and most of them. When teams pressure us we fold like babies. The Blues were to good and we have plenty of work to go to be viable in the finals.

We turn up from the start and bring the heat the Blue Baggers will fold and we will by at least 5 goals. We start like last week and give them a sniff then it will be a tough battle and only win by a couple. We have this and very confident fine or wet.

The old white diamond boots. They were the go back in the days,

Boy I wish we had a Gulden in our side. The kid is a freak.

I'm in favour of resting anyone who is a bit sore and tired for this coming game. Most, if not all of you plus myself reckon we have good depth so why not test the depth. Kangas coming back from Perth and really have nothing to play for. Yes Clarko is back but kick the first couple of goals and they will roll over. Surely the likes of Grundy for Max, Sparrow back for Viney would not weaken us that much. Rest then bring back for last 3 games then another rest before finals should have us cherry ripe.

14 against 14. Circle work DC. Even I was good at circle work, many, many years ago. What I'm saying is that Chandler has not done anything in the AFL of late to get me excited. Similar with Spargo so they are IMO on an even keel. Both struggling.

I've got no problems with the chat re Spargo but we need to realise Chandler hasn't been in that good enough form to replace him. Basically, when in the side of late has done nothing to get me excited. Therefore only the one change for me. Tommo for Petty. Petty needs a good rest and then find some form in the Magoos.

I know you all are looking for Freo to fall so we get a good pick for next season but I'm more involved in this season and wish nothing better than us winning tomorrow night. Could not care less what the Dockers do.

I live up here (ex Vic) and they are a disgrace. Hardly a sporting team survives on the GC as seen by both AFL and NRL. The AFL have a lot to answer to on the Suns and this sacking. It is their money and no doubt it was their decision albeit they will not say anything but boy are they playing games behind the scenes. I suspect more players will leave and not many will want to come up here even if Hardwick gets the gig.

We win them all. 5 at the G with North in Tassie and Sydney up there. Confident.

He is only playing under 17's this season so would think 2025

Do not worry people. If Kalani is good enough come draft year he will be a Demon should we want him. Talked to him and dad at a local under 17 game up here in Qld and both are mad Demons.

That's not good.

And by the way, yes I was in a coma about 2 hours after the game finished. Full of P!!.

21 is now 2 years ago DeeS and yes he played a great game in the GF along with a few others. I'm talking of late, like now. Stop living in the past. We have a unique opportunity to win a couple more flags and Trac needs to get back to that form which even then he was a very good player but IMO was and is not elite then or now, yet.

Trac is a very, very good player BUT not a great one just yet. He needs to take control and win a game or two off his own boot and that means his kicking efficiency must improve around the ground and also snag a few sausage rolls. When this happens and I hope so soon for all our sake then I will say he is an elite/great player. Until then ?

Maybe you should barrack for the Saints then.

Yep. This is a big problem. Gawn and Grundy are not performing to the desired level and have Marshall this week. They better start gelling from now on or we are in a bit of strife.

Well just back from Sunshine Coast after watching Grand Son play footy and taped the game. I don't think I will now watch it after seeing scores and comments on here however I did say in the pre-game thread that May will keep Hogan to zippo and Bedford will not hurt us and we will win by 10 goals. I was correct on 2 of them but forgot we haven't a forward line. You just can't lose with all the stats in your favour but we managed to. Oh for some players with skills.

Weather appears to be clearing up in the Alice for the arvo. BBB to get a few. Kozzie to finally fire for first time since re-signing. May to keep Hogan to zippo, Bedford does nothing and all we have to do is keep Greene quiet and win the mid battle and it's a 10 goal win.
