Trade Goodwin for Clarkson

Agree. But a few have to go: Jones - too slow Harmes - out of form Hannan - when he is bad, he is awful Pickett - not ready In: Rivers Bennell VDB poor skills but at least gives 100% aggression ANB Dropping 5 or more rarely works! TMac on borderline
-
Just nothing!

Beyond terrible
-
Woeful
-
Wagner while quite physical and capable of getting the ball is a poor decision maker!
-
Cameron kicked 2.2 out of 7.10 and as much as I like Jetta he struggled. Perhaps it was due to nearly knocking himself out 3 times!
-
Maybe 2-3 changes Out Jetta, Bennell rest In T Mac Rivers Fritsch & Brayshaw on the edge A few others didn’t play to well, but wholesale changes after a four point loss won’t happen!
-
According to commentators Brisbane are just wonderful! Demons make a few minor improvements and we'll be better! A disappointing final result, but the Demons still have significant upside as half the team were poor tonight, so don’t write us off yet!
-
I think Jetta may have concussed himself tonight, burrowing in head first. To brave for his own good. His kick out that led to C Cameron goal also hurt us! Should be given a couple of weeks off!

Our poor kicking for goal cost us the game. Viney, Petracca & Oliver led the way other than 2nd quarter when they were quiet, a number of players had very ordinary nights, so to get within four points shows we’re close. As mentioned in a prior post we need to win a close one against one of the better teams, then we will be in business. We still have four of the bottom five teams to play, and at least with one favour from the draw play North in Qsld rather than Tassie! The umpiring doesn’t help, they need 15 metre across on the ground so the umpires can see that 20 Brisbane passes didn’t travel the required distance. Only on team seemed to get pinged for holding the ball! Brisbane didn’t return the ball all night and also kicked the ball away a few times after the whistle for a free was blown!

I’m a half glass full person, but I hope you’re right, and your glass is overflowing on Sunday afternoon!

Jones skills, loyalty and many years of leading the way, deserves an opportunity. Hopefully we will see him chase opposition players, as his running has been poor the last few years, admittedly injury would have impacted him at times. Critical that all of our team commit to running and pressuring the Lions, as happened last week against the Hawks.
-
Oliver, Petracca, a fit Viney, Add Max, with Brayshaw, Harmes and Jackson as support, the next five years is our time. Plus a bit of luck this year, Petracca and co. build on the belief built from last week, just a slight improvement needed and we will be electric! Add in our improved fitness and run, we might surprise in 2020! We still haven’t played the bottom four teams! Go Demons!
-
Missed prior post re 4 bottom teams! Anyway draw still looks promising for Demons!
-
We haven’t played any of the four bottom teams yet! Win those and three of the remaining 7 matches and sitting on 10 wins!

Presented, contested, grabbed 2, kicked 2, got pushed in back probably 6 times. Play him for the rest of the season and let him build some continuity and confidence!
-
He was at Melbourne last few years, if it was so blindingly obvious why didn’t he fix it?
-
No I didn’t say we’re going brilliantly, but I don’t think the season is over! Across the league the standard of many games has been poor, and the Demons have been bog ordinary. Last weeks team looked bad at selection and performed accordingly! It can turn quickly. This week the team at least has better structure, and Gold Coast aren’t great they’ve beaten Adelaide & Fremantle who will probably finish 17&18, so the Demons should win!
-
Fair enough, I really like his aggression towards the ball & opposition, he just appears slow to me, perhaps it’s that his skills and decision making that give me that impression.
