Agree Centre best but wing otherwise very good Windsor summary.

PREGAME: Rd 11 vs Sydney
I partly agree about depth but feel both Spargs and Sharp have had ample time to clinch regular spots as of now. Time to give Pup ( Kynan) a go and take a chance on either Sestan or Adams if the injury or form necessitates. But depth wise I don’t think JV or Jake are bad to add at this stage of the season You have not heard of AdaMMs.? Windsor to preferably centre or wing

Luke Jackson back to Victoria?

Most of that is not first option half back requirements unless you are a running type. Bowser is good mostly in defence and Riv Salo and Judd can run down field. His disposal is a major factor for him to maintain his form. And he is doing that quite nicely without all the additional tasks you have all of a sudden invented for him.- POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs Brisbane
No hive Jake another run in the Casey Dees with say 3/4 of match time. Too often our guys are promoted too early by Goody. Safety first way to go.- POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs Brisbane
I am concerned about you Goff. Form nearly back to best given his injuries and 30 age bracket.- POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs Brisbane
Even better when you only have to bus it 8/10minutes and can enjoy a Canadian Club and dry bev when watching a stirring comeback in the third an a good old fashioned surge in the last from behind. And a wine when home with your meal and after is the cherry on top. Talked to two older ladies on the bus from Victoria who flew up and stayed in the Valley and they had a ball. Our interstate record is now 45 wins and 31 losses plus a draw in the last 77 games out of Victoria. That’s about a decade of excellent travelling. includes our Flag and Finals also.- POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs Brisbane
Was musing about Logan during the game and wondering if we could get him on board some how. Fine player in the making just as Disco is now starting to consistently prove.- POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs Brisbane
Agree Langford is a Bont in the making. Should be moved forward at times iMO to see how he can change our line up especially if not successfully scoring. His marking looks very useful and a straight kick to boot. Lindsay is nothing like Angus and I am having trouble comparing him with a player today or even yesteryear. I Know he is good and am wondering if he could play half forward also part time where his height class and disposal would assist scoring and passing to teammates. Having casually suggested our 2 wingers could/ should play forward at times I have no idea who we move there in place. Perhaps Lingers of course and maybe Salo who might appreciate the usual issue of height when at half back. Interesting isn’t it when you have 2 guns no Matter how raw and inexperienced they are you can still see creatively the talent they possess. No wonder I still would like The Duke in the centre to capitalise on our new aggressive approach. I honestly think we have enough defenders in our Club talls and mediums and even smalls ( Bowey and AMZ when fit ) and maybe Sharp could be added see if he could gain some confidence. I feel he has ability but is not the real deal up forward or on a wing or even as a mid other than a change during a game. BTW Rooy should now be given the opportunity to gain confidence at CHB or FB at Casey. Adams should also be nearer AFL selection if the situation arises.- The Kalani White Thread
Thanks RT for the update and value your advice that you have witnessed him play in under age Comp/ state teams. Interesting watch no doubt.- TRAINING: Monday 12th May 2025
And we are 15th on the ladder. That’s the good news.- PODCAST: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
Talk about writing a young player off in about 5 words, Yes he is devoid of confidence. Disco should be in our forward line JVR needs a run in the backline and Petty up forward is probably the best option. With Lever returning in a week or two I wonder if giving Adams a go is the right time. Thoughts?- PODCAST: Rd 09 vs Hawthorn
Agree we need his positivity and class in the forward and centre areas. We have half backs to burn but limited class and finish ING. M Ove him Goody please.- The Kalani White Thread
You didn’t answer m y question why you don’t rate Kalani ? I am saying again that he will go far earlier Than your repeated underrated options. A player that could well be another Sam Darcy won’t be left until Kynan was. That’s allowing for some very odd late players under the NGA rules drafting occasionally.- TRAINING: Monday 12th May 2025
Goody advised on AFL 360 that phe had some niggles and that it has been pre planned management for Melkie during this year. Some others are also in that situation. T m cause M aysie Maxxy co m e to m ind.- Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
It’s Jay Clark’s article in the HS last Tuesday that I have a problem with. He in the whole page or more made up scenarios that were not true and simply tried to show that he was going to leave at the end of the season to Geelong. He showed no Empathy for Clarry at all and I have no respect for his journalism as chief footy writer for the HSun. Robbo or Mike Sheehan would never have emptied on Clarry like he did. Let’s give him the support and I believe another Demon forum have suggested at 13 minutes in the first quarter we stop and clap for Clarry as a show of support. That is a most uplifting public show of worthy support of this whole saga for Clarry.- Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
Agree- Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
Doesn’t need to be that much better. Here is a young talented free spirited footballer who would relish this opportunity to partner then succeed the greatest ruckman in the AFL/VFL. Bring him “home” again come back Dogga.- Luke Jackson back to Victoria?
I agree we need a replacement/ partner for Maxxy. Extra responsibility is the key.- Media Madness
Yes and he is so don’t be so smug. It’s disgraceful what another D/Ler who called him a drop kick ( surprised thst was not censored) . Clarry is trying very hard and doesn’t need the HSun article that Jay Clark posted 2 days ago. Most was premeditated trash from himself going over his recent trade issues. Not one piece of information he used he justified but only supposed most based on his trade time. Clarry had not said or indicated any thing about his future this season. Yes he may be disappointed about his form or game time but that is natural with any player/s. Jay Clark did not even consider Clarry’s mental health in that article and I have now no respect for him on TV as well as his HSun articles.- The Kalani White Thread
And there is a very decent chance that your opinion is totally wrong. What do you base your negativity on Kalani on? His height and thin frame? Only need to see his progress and form in junior levels and his footy upbringing by his father and teams and coaches do far. A Club would be foolish to not give Kalani on opportunity at AFL level.- Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
You mean third behind Maxy and Trac and equal now with JV7. That’s far more realistic votes forecasting M—_9.- Round 8 Coaches Votes
And we win the matches that Xerri can’t get North over the line. That is Brownlow and AA selection criteria. - Max Gawn.... A giant of a gentleman and bloody good bloke.
