58er

ANB does always speak well Team first Always first to congratulate a teammate when a goal is kicked without exception. He has not always been a fan favourite ANB but the newNibbler is a bottler and excels at many of the 1% ers plus his energy levels are enormous. As one or two posters on DL have sad all season he is not getting dropped !!!

I'll informed comment The Top 8 this year is completely unknown when the fixture comes out and was not decided till yesterday. Unless the same Top8 occurred the following year any comparison is not able to be judged as "fair". Just think about it!!!

Haven't jumped and screamed as much in my lounge room ( in Brisbane) since the 2000 Qualifying comeback win vs Carlton Or the Froggy Crompton goal in 64 when I was a teenager!!! This after just returning home from experiencing the amazing emotions of the Lions fans at the Gabba. Now we play them and it's the Travis Johnstone/ Beamer/ Stef Martin Cup!! Can't wait.

Maybe a callow youth has become a man just in time !! If Viney doesn't get ( tackle) you Swallow ( I mean SPARROW) will!!

He needs to ask Lord Nev what to do in those ridiculous circumstances !!!

Yes We do not realise how good Clarry Trac and Maxy are and the last 35 minutes at the Cattery could well have put one hand on the 2021 premiership Cup. Redemption day for 2018 Round1 Maxy missing the after siren shot and in the later season game at the Cattery coughing up a 5 goal lead in the last quarter for Tom Hawkins and Zac Tuohy to mastermind that after siren victory. Eight points coughed up 3 seasons ago and double chance shows why we are such an improved team amazing what 3 years adds up your mindset with good assistant coaches and matured and confident players. Yes Goody has evolved also but maybe a little Tmac cameo down back in the second quarter would not have hurt on Big Tomcat! Just use all the players and their experience at your disposal. PS Oscar moved too late that day and Maysie last might could have been tried. Not that it means anything but most importantly reaffirmation of self belief and the Minor Premiership for our silverware barren Club for nearly 60 years is a little entree to the spoils that await us IF we can play any where near our best for nearly all the next 3 or 4 games. Three more wins and no Port Final in Adelaide ( not scared any way) for us unless the Grand Final is there. Let's hope the Pies smash Bombers and Freo gets home by under a goal to make a dream Final 8!!! Go Dees and what a roller coaster for Jake Bowey with a mere 4 ( magnificent) games under his belt. Talk about timing a run and any hope Jonesy as a med sub?? Please instead of Vanders (but not JJ. )

Last night I reckon Wines name was only mentioned about 10 times by the commentators and when he kicked that goal he was suddenly BOG!!! Thought Boak was easily the best on ground for impact and 4 quarter value plus his clutch goals. Rozee all class and agsin goals and as usual Gray was pivotal and a prime mover in the fight back Obviously need to watch game again for Wines role. Just shows how if you butcher the ball in front of goals and handballs are just off slightly you need to have your best mids on top supplying that ball downfield and converting as well. BTW still good to get Dogs out of Top4 as I have rated them ( until last night) as our main opponent but now reckon Port are potentially being given a dream run at home and may even play the Final there although not first choice at this moment. Lets just win tonight Dees!!

Not sure he is a bull insider has skill fir outside play I reckon.

Yes agree Norm the topics filling in the posts have got less relevant as August has evolved. What only matters in the next 5 weeks is our performance ON and OFF the field. Not trades Not other Clubs issues Not Demonstones weird postings Not failings of the past or irrelevant memories. Not even Covid ramblings. Lets just support our team who are ONLY FOUR WINS aWAY from the Holy Grail. Then post anything you choose if we win that 13th flag !!!

Want an outside mid Dunkley or Treloar or Smith !!!

Outside runners are that for a reason snd not great at contests!! That's why they are outsiders!!!!! Thats what we need another runner with outside skills.

If he's that good why aren't the Swans resigning him? Above all playing him? Apparently has a couple of faults in his game and not a great team man if you read some posts. Changing Clubs is often the best way to get renewed performance and attitude from young players.

Immaterial where we play about resting. Got nothing to do with it and NO they should not be rested and all go for any awards they are up for plus fine tuning of our game.

Agree

You can't always only use goals as a judgement. Two Or one goal vs Nick Haynes is a good result if he keeps him quiet!!! For example.

Well done Jake wonderful start to your career at Demonland. Many great years ahead for you and our team.

Your very observant W31 !!! Pity Darcy Tucker is a ruckman or haven't you observed. Is a good player but seems to be playing with a knee or leg injury.

No why? They will play Friday night and we will play Sat night definitely for FTA privilege and interest.

Waste your breath and pen won't happen with Dees.

Please take a bex and lie down ! Te you resting Kossie or actually dropping him ? Big difference . Prob won't happen as he doesn't deserve being dropped. May Viney and Tmac in. Smith Melk and Sparrow out.

Well you may regret your action Hardwck now that the GF is a distinct possibility. !

Jetta has not been in this new group other than cameos and clearly sadly is past his best. Hibbo has until his recent drop been very good for the last 2 seasons and is fighting for his life to be part of it. BTW that doesn't diminish Lord Nev's career which has just cycled earlier than this elite group at the moment. As for Bowey yes it's hard on a 2 time sample but any one with footy knowledge and feeling for the game couldn't have been more impressed with his debut so far. He has adapted to the pace of the game and looked composed clever and team orientated. His debut has resembled Trent Rivers while Harry Petty took about half a dozen games to find his feet but now looks like replacing Tommo. Hunt is a pick especially for his run and carry and we may miss this in the next month from our defence but time will tell. This defence is undoubtedly still the cornerstone of our flag tilt along with our elite midfield.

Hibbo before Smithy every day of the week We don't want ill discipline spoiling 5/6 other AA class defenders on the big stage. Smithy could play forward PLEASE.

Bowey is not slow He could run as far as Hunty dodging and weaving AND PASS the ball to a forward or kick straight!!!

You forgot McGovern!!!!
