    Despite your bravado and LNP type claims of the truth Dr you are not always right!!! I would be surprised if we win all of our last 6 games but believe that 4 Wins should get us Top2 which is what we want. I am supremely confident that In Finals at the G we will beat Power Cats and Lions but fear Dogs and Swans. we may be lucky not to have to play Swans any way or at the SCG as my time due to Covid (Struggled with ground dimensions etc vs Pies IMO on QB) and Dogs are dangerous because of their game plan and all out attack which needs a healthy score yo best on occasions. Our pressure vs them is ( as against all teams) not negotiable. Plenty of chances for upsets with the Saints Freo snd Bombers all capable of beating Dogs Lions Cats and Power but not Swans on their last 2 rounds form.
  3. Membership is in the post in demonland plus bring up the "Fired Up" membership link on the website and click down from the first entry and it displays the total membership no. 52,075 is the total now!!
  4. Problem is Sam just does not get enough of the ball in the AFL. Seems to enjoy that second ruck and floating game in 2's bit like Jacko's role. And also his accuracy and depth of his kicking is a bit if a myth at the moment in the AFL. Benny was a good start and will hit scoreboard and he needs a good defender ( No 1) on him due to his size and skills.
  5. Was only scheduled when AFLPA refused Dogs toplsy on a 5 day btresk which would have been their second one , against their rules for player safety .
  6. AF great point and exactly what I have been saying to other Dees fans it's the extra attention that BBB will need because if his presence, size plus his ability to hit the scoreboard. I have come to the conclusion that Weed if given a ruck role and a roaming forward approval he would probably provide a good foil. BUT as a stay at home mostly insignificant and with not much real body strength contesting forward battles he does not have the same impact for the opposition ( or us) as BBB provides. BBB has the spot and it's his to lose but I don't think that will happen.
  7. You would never ever expect anything other than what Angus is doing coming from his exceptional Brayshaw family background. He is a most underrated player on the wing and knits up the defence and forward line well with tough competitive football which helps our team keep control on the non Langers wing. Can't remember any game this year our wings have been beaten (except Vs Pies) badly. Plus we can play Angus at HB or on the forward line or on the ball if need be also. Champion human being is Gus much like Previous Capt. Jack Trengove.
  8. And BBB genuinely needs a No 1 defender on him which means that Tmac Maxy Fritta and Jacko are left with 2 3 and 4 defenders!!! Thinking about Weed he likes to move around more and as second ruck / Ruck rover he gets involved nicely in the play. He could be a Jacko replacement if needed rather than a static KPF that clogs up the system and puts pressure on himself and others.
  9. Think it's also his style in the the plays his role at the moment without fuss. Reckon he will be marking a lot more hopefully like he did against the Dogs in the last quarter. Old school and reliable Harry. Suits us just fine!
  10. China ain't answering our call Goffy !!!
  11. Slipped that one in Tom ( PF) A beauty!! ( Bruce McAveney)
  12. " tall midfielder" interesting way to describe Harry! More like " tall defender " I would have thought. Liked HP from day ones draft highlight reel !!!
  13. Touch wood no maybe last year was good also but the BURGO factor still has 9 or 10 Matches to run!
  14. Is that an official line you have for the selectors or just your opinion Swooper? And does it involve Jake earning his spot or being " gifted" because he has according to you an unbelievable skill at passing the ball even though he only gets it generally under double digit times per game?
  15. Not this year Harry P is going along great guns and knows how to be a defender. Have liked HP since I first watched his highlight reel when first drafted. JTaylor another bow please! PS Reckon mid year recruit Daniel Turner will also be a a ripper. Maybe the heir apparent to Maysie once the best in the business retires. (Hopefully never) Just watch his highlights reel and agsin I say it there is a definite feel of the Mitch McGoverns in him! JT again ( watch this space)
  16. Great summary and so fitting of Maxy. I can't stop thinking of what MFC and Maxy might be by his200th match in 2 years time!!
  17. Perhaps because Harrison is like ANB ( full on SA) Kossie ( adopted SA sort of) and Jake (SA for 4 years) Tommy Sparrow (SA full on young gun) are all so comfortable with Adelaide Oval we produced a very good result up there with the Dogs and Lions wins. Just the tonic after the dip in form and a timely reminder to the footy world this Demon team is not going anywhere and a serious top4 contender for this 2021 flag.
  18. Spargo is more a forward than Jordon!
  19. Back to your best again Wdee Picking the Twos pretty straight forward!!
  20. Good in you Dr for including Kozzie in the best 6 Petty or he were the 6th.
  21. That would be ONE TALL FAR TOO MANY
  22. Bulldogs game is Round 20 NOT 21 !!!
  23. Yes OD but at least your post is a credible point. I have posted on other topics we need to be more positive in our approach take the game on more and give BBB a go at FG and perhaps get Lockhart in defence to get some running going. All our mids and defenders are to take the game on when we get the ball like vs Lions in second half.. Msybe a couple of players are tired but I think most of that is in the mind. Our best is easily good enough to best Port if we bring it.
  24. You sure know how to kill any positivity OD. You are back to your Old Dee approach with no Hope and only fear. Maybe have a rest criticising and being negative and look for the positives. Oh sorry you never make positive comments you always refer to the past and don't give any credit even when we play well. Don't even go letting Covid ( like 15,000 other Demons fans ) determine their decision making. Leopards don't change their spots. Time us running out for us oldies who can choose to sit and watch the world go by or join in and embrace what we are still able to do. Even Dan is in the recovery plan bandwagon team ( leading it in fact) and plenty of vaccine has been available to us all since its release earlier this year.
  25. But all three have kicked well earlier in the year We need a refresh on the things that hit us to Top earlier in the year. We have become defensive complacent and let our standards slip.
