  1. You can add that he’s taken Windsor back to the square and Butler, who’s a smart forward, has kicked 3 from the goal square.
  2. Thats my first thoughts but we lose his midfield drive even though he’s providing none atm 🤷‍♂️
  3. May was good in the second
  4. Windsor’s getting pulled back and out of the play and the Saints have capitalised on it.
  5. Is Noah linked to us?
  6. Bit disappointed Laurie’s the sub. Think he deserves a full game. On Liam Jurrah, still hold some blame to Mark Neeld, he really failed to see the kind of player Jurrah was and if my memory serves me there was some murmuring’s of racism at the club at the time. I may be wrong on this but it’s how I felt at the time.
  7. Last day of my holiday and I really need a Dee’s win. I’ve flooded the lads footy wattsapp group with the kind of pro Demon propaganda that we read here daily.
  8. He’s a project player and as such it really falls on his desire to make it. It takes an incredible amount of unrewarded hours to become an elite footballer. On top of that he’s away from family adding another layer of difficulty. I’d imagine Matty Whelan would be supporting his efforts. I’d love to see him blossom into an AFL small forward for us.
  9. Absolutely, I may of got my golf analogy a little off. Our repeat forward entries appear less contested but I may be imagining that. It’s why I thought perhaps we’ve pulled our defence back to the defensive side of the wings. I also noted May and Salem took some marks back there when Sydney came out of our F 50. Just stretching the ground out so as to draw the swans out of our D50. It also seems we’re hitting the top of the goal square a lot more and with Kozz running around why not. Anyhoo I’ll take a closer look at KB as it’s harder to gauge on tv. I’m also someone who’s still getting into the subtler side of tactics and how we play. Our 21 style was really clear.
  10. It’s this that gives me confidence. Our one wood might be contest and defence but our putter and most important club appears to be playing a front half territory game. One question I have is do we set up our defence further back to allow an exiting ball to also clear our F50 of the opposition?
  11. Not super quick but appears good by foot, I imagine he can break a tackle. Are Sparrow, Langford, Petracca and Oliver quick?
  12. I just feel that if Laurie can’t prove his worth at AFL level it will be Culley who gets the next shot. I love his size, finals and big games love a big strong body and he has that. Going to be an interesting watch.
  13. I don’t see it as cockiness. We have a very strong list that’s largely fit and we’re playing a competitive game style. At this point anything is possible.
  14. It’s actually a good result for us as I’m looking at a top 4 spot until that’s unachievable

    Tiges on a roll
  16. It’s not the first trivial post on this site but it is one of the most informative trivial posts. Whereas this post is simply trivial!
  17. Anyone? Bueller?
  18. How’s Culley’s disposal?
  19. How’s Culley’s disposal? JVR is the one we really need to find form, Sounds like Jefferson isn’t miles off. Remember these guys are chasing AJ’s spot.
  20. I’d have Brisbane, GC, Collingwood and Geelong as locks at this stage, then the Dogs and Adelaide, with Hawthorn, GWS and Freo as our competition. I haven’t ruled out a top 4 finish just yet but think 6th is our likely destination. For that we have to win at least one of our Collingwood matches.

    Hard at contest, clean with hands, goals not points, let them chase us, our think our style stacks up. Long down the line is death against them. They force you into that so you gotta go at times but you’ve also gotta hold, I think that’s what we’re doing!

    Likely essential for victory 17.5.107 12.10.82

    We’re going to have to be at our absolute best on KB. Massive pressure is the only way to beat them.
  24. That Viney goal when he literally ripped it out of Oscar McInerney’s hands, massive win and only injuries stopped our run to an almost certain flag.
