    West Coast in play is great news. Their pick 2 and Jack Darling would be a great deal for us if we could make it happen

    His goal kicking is worse than Maxy
  3. Hopefully the name change improves our fortunes because I’m sick and tired of losing to the pies
  4. Well thats no good. Harris is a big loss for the Lions game
  5. NFL

    The Oline looks as porous af. Dak spent a lot of the day on his backside And the dumb penalties continued unabated Not a very bright start at all
  6. NFL

    Cowboys stinking the joint out
  7. Big call. He hasn't properly recovered from his injury. When fully fit he's one of our best ball users in a team not over endowed with good ball users. No way we should trade him.
  8. My guess We did load midseason. But we followed the same approach as last year when our players were fresher and not carrying as many niggles. Shorter preseason as well so we just didn’t have the right base to begin with. Our loading made the situation worse. Just my uneducated and uninformed theory.
  9. give it a try. You might enjoy it
  10. The marketing department are well down the list of my gripes with this season
  11. They probably don't really know what the answer is. If they did they would have addressed already
  12. Great 1st quarter. Forget about the rest of the game. Missed opportunity to build percentage Libby Birch having a great season. Paxy too. Talk of her demise greatly exaggerated Huge game next week against the Lions at Casey. Could well determine who finishes on top
  13. after a blistering start we've been very ordinary. Badly need a goal
  14. Serious question When is it ok to start cracking jokes about the queen? After the funeral?
  15. I think everyone is still fixated on the fallout from Friday night's game
  16. Eliza West is a dynamo at stoppage. Just knows how to get her hands on the ball. Massive improver this year

    Carlton blowing their chance to play finals. I thought that was a big positive.
  18. yes. we did against Freo last year. Only time its been done i think
  19. Intensity, clean hands, great link play and accurate goal kicking. Superb 1st quarter from the girls. 6 straight into the breeze. St Kilda don't know what hit them. This game is over already
  20. Excellent mark and finish Kate Hore. Great start Dees.

    Disappointment is the lot of most sports fans. Only one team can win it unfortunately. But tomorrow is a new day and hope springs eternal. Casey are in the granny. The women are a great chance to win the flag this year as well. And the boys will be back next year. There's plenty to look forward to And thanks to all the Demon Army for supporting the team. You were fantastic on Friday night

    We need a definition of culture. It’s a very amorphous term but I reckon it’s the standards and expectations demanded by the club and playing Group and the behaviours which demonstrate this. The May incident was a bad look but I don’t think indicative of a deeper problem. Just May being a dh on the drink Looking back the pressure rating was a real canary in the goldmine. From 1st to 17th in the space of a year is insane. Culturally strong clubs wouldn't allow this to happen you would think. And right from the get-go as well. Could have been gameplan related (too taxing), could have trying to save ourselves because we weren’t quite fit enough I don’t know. You would have to be instead the club and know what was said, what training was like, what standards were let slide to really know. The culture was strong last year, it had to be otherwise we couldn’t win the flag. If standards have slipped since then we should be able to re-affirm the standards required and go again Next year will tell the tale. I expect to bounce back, finish top 4 and play in a prelim. If we don’t then we’ll know something is fundamentally wrong
  23. Kossie can’t leave. He has unfinished business. he has to take a speccie in demons colours before he goes
