    Pretty strange we've not heard anything or seen any social media posts??

    Perhaps these are super secret tactical sessions.

    I doubt there is anything nefarious going on.

    With that being said a couple of photos wouldn't give away anything.

    Ragebait is an excellent description.

    As adults, I find it strange behaviour to go around telling other adults that you believe someone is better at something than someone else!

    Isn't this what umpires do when they award votes?

  3. I know it's only a practice match but I was disappointed with our efforts and execution and even in a praccy match 10 unanswered goals from a supposed premiership contender is inexcusable.

    We might have had more injuries going into the game but Richmond had their best 4 or 5 players missing including most of their engine room and their key forward and back.

    We'll get rolled by the Blues next week and I'm not confident in our chances in Sydney. Early days but could be in for a long year.

  4. We are in desperate need of a ruckman that can take over from Max but our first major operation needs to be a key forward. BBB and TMac are in their twilights. Petty looks certain to head back to Adelaide at season's end if the 2023 trade week whispers are true and the jury is out on Jefferson. JVR can't do it alone and if he gets a whiff of home sickness in the coming years we are toast.

    The window is slowly shutting if we can't replenish our forward and ruck stocks.

  5. Just wanted to thank you guys for another stellar season of podcasting. You took the show to another level and I really love that you open the discussion up to the audience via the questions and comments and I'm happy to have contributed to the conversation over the year. It's great to have you back even if it's just a little taste before the new season.

    What did you guys make of our acquisitions over the trade period in terms of personnel. All seem to fill a certain role. Do you think any or all are a lock to play Round 1 or be a regular fixture in the side? Are we still a destination club?

  6. You boys are consistently knocking each podcast out of the park so thank you for being a big part of my Demon supporting week each week.

    Would love to get your thoughts on Disco's game this week as well as your thoughts on Laurie's cameo.

    Both showed some very good signs.

    Disco for mine is ahead of Tomlinson at the moment so would love to get your take.

    Laurie for his part did some nice things when he came on too adding to his good showing last week.

    We've added some nice depth late in the season. Do you think either of them will feature in September?

  7. Last week many had put a question mark on Tomlinson in defence but I thought he played an excellent game against the Magpies showing some of his early 2021 form pre-ACL. He had 15 possessions, took 10 marks, had 4 Intercept possession, 2 intercept marks, 3 tackles and 2 spoils.

    It will be interesting whether he keeps his place in the team post bye and Petty returning as well no doubt play 3 talls and Hibberd in defence against Geelong. I am positive that Petty will be used in attack which opens another can of worms in terms of Smith's place in the team but I thought he played well too and no doubt you will touch on him at some point as well.

  8. Just thought I’d air a silly little grievance that I have with the club and their communication of injuries to members.

    We had 2 classic “Mystery Injuries of the Week” this week.

    On Tuesday when they released the injury list there was no new injuries to report yet when the team was released on Thursday we find out that both Hibberd and McDonald are out injured.

    No updates on their condition, severity or length of time they’ll be out since. Sure they may have done something on the Wednesday or Thursday but as there has not been any information since so members are none the wiser.

    Then TMac puts up an Instagram story of him in hospital with his foot bandaged holding a plastic container with a chunk of bone in it obviously extracted from said foot. Nothing from the club.

    I get we need to play the game and keep opposition clubs guessing and I have no idea how it works at other clubs but I find the lack of information to members,  as of writing this post, very poor and frustrating.

    Silly rant over.

  9. Props to Judd McVee. He's been flying under the radar the last few games after bolting out of the blocks. Thought he played an excellent match on Chad Wingard who was held to 8 possessions and is usually very dangerous. You wouldn't have known he was playing.
