Darren Burgess interview here with injury update.    Gus and Viney will ready for Round 1. 

Bowey in the backline.  Wonder if he has been identified as the Jetta replacement or a different kind of role?

What is the purpose of your username if you think we need a star forward? 

I said a key position forward.  

We still havent replaced Jesse Hogan.

Number 1 priority is a star key forward.

Weideman may never make it and Ben browns knee is stuffed.

Just now, Demon Dude said:

no doubt Goodwin will just bring in Jones to replace Melksham.

Only if he wants his nose to be bitten off by Uncle Chocco.

The young kids won't play not when you have Mitch.Brown, Jordon, vandenBerg, Sparrow, Petty and Jones in front of them.

I have a feeling Bailey Laurie will play round 1. 

Beating Hawthorn in a Grand Final can not be topped.

well he did sign the team apology statement and for all we know he might have been instrumental in it

we don't know what he has done or is doing within the club

he's not obliged to publicly say anymore. people will judge him either way

he has always come across as a very polite and considerate person, so no need to pass any cheap criticism on him

 

True.  I don't want to be part of the pile on, lord knows its already bad enough.  It is just surprising he has not fronted the media yet, well maybe he has and I missed it. 

Actually its wise of him or anyone else to avoid the media, they will just twist words to feed their narrative anyway.

The AFL has warned in briefings to clubs that even the slightest movement to the left or right from the man on the park will incur an immediate 50m penalty.

 

 

 Of all the absurd pointless rule changes over the years, this one has to take the cake.

(Sub rule excluded)

Things are going smoothly for us compared to St.Kilda training...

This adds a bit more juice to the story and calls out the clubs leaders...

I must admit Buckley's silence has been deafening.

Good to see some heat on Scott Pendelbury finally.   He has been there longer than anyone besides Eddie and is suddenly Mr Invisible when the [censored] hit the fan.

It doesn't mean every now and again that Max can't be rested. He has been rested up forward many times. 

Max is a genuine  tap ruckman  and has the all round craft  that is his best position and is possibly the best at his trade.

3 x AA that says it all.

Maxy is a 4 time AA

Why would Daw play round 1 when we have Mitch Brown?

Three talls -  T Mac,  M Brown and LJ

Angus is set for  a big season if we take photos at face value, Hes never looked in better shape.

Lockdown will be ending tomorrow night, it won't be extended.  Official.

Gee thanks for reminding me of the Blazers AF. 

Another gem of an idea from C Schwab

Mitch Brown will play in Round 1 to keep our 3 tall setup in tact until B Brown/Weid are ready.

Mark Williams did ask the newbies to bring in their birth certificates and burnt them in front of them.

Choco is a mad man

Why is it Bizarre? We have just had 2 big forwards go down as well as Marty Hore for the season

 He is a liability on the field,  thats why.

I admire him for getting back to playing sport after what he went through but there is a reason he was playing for North Heidelberg up until today.

I think the Midfield group of White, Yze, Leoncille, Rigoni, Johnstone, Woewoden, MacDonald (A & J), Powell, and Bruce are a mile ahead of any midfield group we have had in the last 21 years.  

The strength of that midfield was its incredible depth and running power.  It was very even in ability but we didnt have any champions.

Shame we didnt have a Voss, Hird or Ricciuto.  Might have won a flag.

Bizarre move.

So was  Tim Kelly 3 times, Lewis Jetta,Liam Ryan all superstar passed over in  the draft  what do all these players have in common?

Not to mention there were about 20 less kids selected in the 2020 draft compared to normal drafts due to the shortened list sizes.

Titus should know better.

By putting the quotation marks in he is suggesting this is what Dan said. He didn't and Titus should hang his head in shame. Lockdown is no laughing matter.

 

Dan Andrews good.

Titus O'Reilly bad.

Got it.

Will be there with bells on.  (And am fully expecting a deflating loss to start the season in true Demon style).
