Oliver should be thanking Melbourne and Max for all the c r a p he has put The team through and the support he has been provided! Great footballer, not sure of his other capabilities!

How about we keep Oliver and go for Sam De Koning!

If Trac went to the B&F, Cornes would have come out with “he should be overseas getting as fit as possible for next season”.

In his shoes doing the interview, I would be slightly hesitant after all the argy bargy! Missing B&F will be forgotten come the start of next season if he comes out fit and firing after a full preseason, surrounded by: Oliver Petty Fritsch Viney Salem Melksham all have full preseasons. Plus Max, May, Lever, Bowey and Spargo getting in full preseasons and fully recover from injury. Hopefully McAdam also, so we can so what he really can do! While the season has been disappointing take 3 of best 6 out of any team and see how they go. Cats Dangerfield, Cameron & Stewart Swans Heeney, Gulden & Mills Lions Neal, Andrews & Daniher(while I think he is a [censored], he is structurally VIP for Lions) Port Rozee, Butters & Allir Demons this year: lost Brayshaw, Trac, Oliver NQR all season, May NQR for 60% season

It’s the right 90% you need!

Fair point, but Grundy wasn’t cheap even with Pies paying part of his salary.

List management definitely needs a review as not sure who we have traded in since 2021 has helped the team vs May, Lever, Langdon, Hibberd all contributed to the flag winning team.

Collingwood 🤮 bully us, makes me want to 🤮 Maynard and Cox both snipers and we never respond! Backup ruckman for Gawn needs to be hard at it! Need one or two hard players! May, Salem, Viney, Hibberd even Brayshaw went hard in 2021 GF. May and Salem dropped off since then.

What’s the score please

The loss to Carlton in the finals last year was totally on the players goal kicking, missed about 8 shots in a row in the third quarter!

TMac extension well deserved Seems as if Tomlinson will go and personally I wouldn’t extend Hore, too slow when he gets the ball to make a decision and not good enough against better teams.

Unfortunately after his knee injury it reduced his speed and flexibility, that really limited him to filling in for May in the backline. The backline was too slow with May, Lever and Tomlinson.

Tracs actions created friction and a lot of alarmist media reporting. Obviously all hasn’t been right at the club, so it might be the spark that inadvertently helps us turn the corner. Roffey, Stafford and a few other changes may help us change direction and get back on the right track. It would be a pity if we can’t win another flag as it would be a waste of three of the most talented players to play for the Demons in the last fifty years in Max, Trac and Oliver!

Definitely. Jordan had his chance in last years finals and didn’t step up at all!

Lions: Zorko 🤮🤮🤮 Daniher 🤮🤮 Cameron 🤮 Cats 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮 Hawks 🤮🤮🤮🤮 Hoping for Swans or Giants!!!!!!!!!

What was the score?

Lions Cats Hawks Blues

I’m a little tired of all the drama player and board wise. What I would like to see: - injury free preseason for all Demon players and particularly Trac, Oliver, Gawn, Petty, Viney, Salem and May. Also McAdam to see if he can really play. Last preseason was really bad and it heavily impacted this year. - new forward and midfield coaches. - few board changes. - one great draft pick and two good ones. - get at least one if not two top 23 players in trading period. One May or Lever type quality player adds a lot to the team. - we must have a bit up our sleeve in salary cap, use it wisely. - good draw (Tigers twice)! Play Freo once! - then stability. Board level down.

Unfortunately bigger supporter base clubs = FIXture = more money for AFL! Demons had our great period mid 50s - 64, twenty years too early!

Another AFL fix aside from the fixture is the one man MRO - Christian (Collingwood) nothing to see here in Maynard takes out Brayshaw and he already had a couple of other shots prior in the first ten minute's of the game. Then Kossi immediately gone 3 weeks via MRO as Moore goes low creating half the problem! Total BS one person does MRO, at least he should be replaced on Collingwood games, as he is biased, even if subconsciously!

Agree 100%.

Dermie hates Melbourne so great to stick it up him!

Oliver, Trac, May out and Kossie quiet. Pre game would have said 5-10 goal loss, great effort from the Demons who stood up! Jack Viney take a BOW! Turner, JVR and Petty make a statement for 2025 forward line! It was a a grand day! Beat those filthy scum next week, hopefully with someone flattening Maynard and would be the perfect end to the season! Go Demons!

I would also be letting Hore go, he is very very slow when he gets the ball, much rather try a kid!

There are some people on Demonland you just need to block. Re Oliver, expectations on the back of 4 B&Fs and two AFL coaches awards mean people have a high performance bar for Clarrie! While by his standards it has been an ordinary year, by the average player his year would be treated as solid/good. The real issue I have is people saying trade him, trade Trac, trade Viney etc. Just get them all fit and have full pre seasons, then judge the Demons at end of next year and Goodwin for that matter! I think I posted a comment from Mark Williams about injuries to top players, re soldier out soldier in comment trotted out by coaches. He said it was total rubbish you can’t replace a top 5 player with player rated 24-28! He was at Amateurs at the time. Finishing the year early, resting some players, getting full preseasons into our best players, get in one or two decent draft picks and get a trade or two right and we just might have a good year in 2025!
