Didn’t see game - out of country Summary - goal umpire error Umpiring - normal bad Demons 6.5 /10 Bit stiff, move on No high marks from talks in forward line Max mauled as usual Disappointing not a disaster Nobody injured 👍👍

Carlton have played the rest, they better be ready to play the best!! Looking forward to Demons winning by 5 goals and shutting up those cocksure arrogant Blues supporters!

A win by any amount is good, 30 plus would be great, and no injuries! Hoping to see Grundy play well, kick a goal and be a great support to Max. I compare the teams and feel we should have the covered in the middle, down back and forward! Curnow, Weitering and Cripps are guns, but they are missing a few and we should bat deeper. Go Demons!!

Well thanks for all the effort you put in, adds to my enjoyment first and understanding second of how the Demons play!

Who pays you for all of this analysis?

Carlton is playing well and have some excellent players, there is no denying that fact! I think our midfield will be too strong. Gawn, Viney as the leaders, Oliver coming back! Our backline is strong, it’s a premiership winning backline, and our forwards are coming back into form, particularly small forwards Kossie, Chandler and Trac playing forward. I have more faith in our proven 2021 premiership players and team coming into form, than your belief in Carlton!

Let’s see who wins.

You are underestimating our players! I’ll take our 23 this weekend against whatever the Blues put on the field! Who do you support?

Unbelievable skills. Bounce, blind turn, vault, you name it Robbie could do it, an absolute legend! The reason you would go to the footy late seventies and early eighties!

I bet nearly everyone will be deliriously happy if our Demons can win the next seven games and most importantly the last three!!

Winning by a point will do, but 5 plus goals would be great. Hopefully with Clarry back in soon and Fritter not far behind! Still a chance to slide into 2nd, keep on rolling! Go Demons!

Who is K-dog

Keep going Crows! Go Bombers, we want Swans to have nothing to play for when we meet them!!

Just might be a season turning win! We’ve already been good this year and were well placed, but like the 2021 win at KPark against the Cats, must build awesome belief! Fantastic to be at the “G” and see our leaders in Max, Viney, Trac & Brayshaw step up in the last. Bl..Dy Melksham what a left foot snap then a brilliant mark and pressure goal, absolutely fantastic and just great for him! Rivers was also great in the last taking it on! Kossie with 3 and a bit of his electric magic on show again. Doesn’t it make the weekend feel GRAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sydney had definitely played their GF the prior week, didn’t have anything in the tank!

It’s about making headlines with outrageous observations!

Expected score is an indicator, Melbourne had control of the game from late 1st through 4th quarter, didn’t look like losing. Last week against Giants should have been 5 goal win, that’s what it looked like!

Saints are well disciplined, with a solid backline, within a goal per week of the best rated backlines. They definitely brought their best effort. Demons below their best, down a little in confidence, but some positive signs: - Trac four straight, - May rock solid, - Saints only scored 58 points, our defence is finals strong, - ANB strong start to game, - Langdon a bit more involved, - Sparrow, Rivers, Brayshaw, JJ through the middle, providing options particularly when Oliver gets back, - Major room for improvement across the park. Kossie, Spargo, to lift, BBB show some positive signs, - Max/Grundy combo can improve, but not as bad as many make out, - JVR to come in with a little extra output for last 6 weeks, We’ve got 6-7 weeks to bring it together!

You look at our team: - Backline looks fantastic, - Mids even with Oliver out, still looks incredibly strong, like seeing Rivers in the mix, - Forward line, not as strong, still Kozzie a top small forward, time for BBB, Spargo & Melksham to shoot the lights out with accuracy, and big Maxy and Grundy kick at least one goal each. Best of luck to young Woey all reports indicate he is highly skilled, if he can deliver could quickly tie up a spot in the 22! Headed to the Marvel morgue tonight, hoping to see Demons salute! Go Demons.

What I think will happen: Outs Ins Fritsch - injured. - JVR Chandler - out of form - Spargo Harmes - played poorly - Oliver Goodwin rarely makes more than 3 changes. Melksham sub maybe Jordan in. But with Fritsch out I think they will give Melksham another game as backup forward. Tomlinson in wings for Petty forward if BBB doesn’t get going in next three weeks or if Smith totally inconsistent! I’d rest Max in goalsquare Pickett next to him. Get BBB to be leading rather than pack marking FF. Also have Trac playing 50% in forward half.

So have you compared him to small forwards in the league. Go look at the stats per game.

GWS scored 7-5 47! 5-15 with more misses is the problem!

How many small forwards have kicked more goals than Kozzie this year, have more tackles etc.

On the round ball theme, if it’s wet this afternoon I’m hoping the Demons kick it off the ground a little more and handball a little less!

We won a flag in 56, hopefully a good omen!
