Pay Jeff white $100K or more for next 3 months at Demons, improve kicking, goal kicking, structure etc and odds of Kalani playing at Demons! We are missing some basis stuff - kicking in particular

100% correct - nothing more to be added!

Other clubs have picked up players that help their team, Demons not. our drafting very good, top 3 in AFL. Our trading - bottom 3 or 2 in AFL!

If we loaded last week - incredible stupidity!

Pies supporters typically vile! Blues & Hawks arrogance personified! Swans don’t know any!

Fantastic win, makes for a happy Monday! Sometimes you’ve just gotta sit back and smell the roses!

He should talk to Fritsch about having the same mindset. Melksham has been amazing since halfway through 2023, just a pity he did his knee in that last game of 2023!

Forward line wise. Stick with Turner for 6 weeks no matter what happens. Fritsch gets left in twos until he starts kicking straight and competes! Tholstrup has to do what we made ANB do, perform at VFL level week in week out and earn spot! Henderson & Fullerton don’t play until they show competitive spirit at least 8 weeks, I don’t think Fullerton will ever make it! Rather see AJ play who has a crack!

Kossie gets his free, the push from the Hawks captain gets paid to us 15 metres from goal, and we kick 4 of the 10 plus shots we missed and different result!

Jefferson zero impact, vfl until another preseason and hopefully that helps. Petty in. Tholstrup’ out bit of a headless chook, but week prior did a few good things, more VFL time hopefully will help. Melksham in. I would play Turner forward with instructions to lead/lead and lead again. Petty back! Fritsch as sub!

The Kossie non free and that backline free against Fritsch? When Sicily pushed the pack, cost us two goals from incorrect decisions! Generally positive effort until 3 qtr time. was surprised Turner not moved forward earlier as Jefferson and JVR hardly touched the ball! Query - Turner forward or back, personally would have started him forward!

Beat the Eagles. Clarry & Petracca play a 3 quarter game on way back to playing four quarters! Versus half a game! JVR play competitive footy and kick some goals! Play with aggression! Then worry about the next week!

As a basic rule have a game every week, that would be a start!

Play him in forward pocket near edge of goal square, next to Van R! But his role is beat your opponent, focus defence on your man! Chandler or Kossie as other FP! I always felt when Grundy was at Demons, Max should have rested in goalsquare with Kossie next to him and Fritsch nearby, Max doesn’t mark it, Kossie crumbs or puts pressure on or Fritsch marks or crumbs! Something needs to be tried that makes Fritsch more accountable! Fritsch is highly skilled as recognised by many had a great 2021 finals campaign and late 23/24 obviously dealing with a bung foot! I get that it’s 18 man defence, but can be outliers. Bit like Viney go to best on baller of opposition and tackle every time they get ball!

While disappointed we gave away 4 soft goals at the end, the 3rd quarter was very good and resting Gawn and May is smart! What I really liked: Gawn great game (whether he is 15 or 55 out he should kick it the same when shooting for goal). Bowey having a terrific year. Chandler stepped up a cog or two this year, the double tackle/effort that led to Trac goal was excellent. Viney as stopper. Oliver 3rd quarter. Moving the ball faster, it appeared that was part of reason for better 3rd quarter, puts opposition defence under much more pressure! Kids in Windsor, Langdon and Lindsay all look promising, even if Windsor skills were off! Challenges: Fullerton looked like a schoolboy being pushed aside. ( Replace with JVR) Trac, Oliver not going at 100% for 4 quarters! Fritsch needs to be made more accountable, he is a smart footballer but not doing much of team things. I would send him to a defender and say your role is to beat your opponent, if he could perform that role, will still kick a couple! Salem playing safe, even if he was better this week.
