In the broadcast on Kayo they said it looked like a cramp and then showed footage of Hibbo's legs being massaged while he lay on the side and watched the end of the game. He didn't seem distressed, so hopefully nothing beyond age and hard work

Nothing gets the blood boiling like umpiring when at the ground (or elsewhere for that matter). I've begun sitting with the Demon Army recently and my barracking has become a lot more positive, bar booing the umpires The beauty of being interstate and having the house to oneself is that I can swear and rave at the TV all I like with no one being affected... then I log onto Demonland and try to be calm and rational and to hopefully learn something about the loss. Perfect Jekyll and Hyde scenario!

Yes, understand why people don't think loading is a magical explanation, but also don't know why sometimes people ignore the reality that professional sport has to involve loading at different periods of the season (especially a long season like AFL). The Selwyn Griffiths interview was great! I think that our poor win record while playing as Narrm is linked to the timing of the Sir Doug Nicholls Round with the point in the season where we often are fatigued from draw / travel / and some form of loading to set up the second half of the season Between the potential effects of loading and our injuries, it's not entirely surprising that our execution of the game plan is lacking at the moment. Hope you're right that we're likely trying to be cherry ripe for the Collingwood game. In part out of self interest because I'm visiting Melbourne for the sole purpose of that game and am a bit faint hearted to lose to Collingwood again 😂

Our pre season games were blistering and had such a great attacking style, which we haven't seen much of in the past few weeks. Some of this is likely down to the disruptions caused by injury, but very disappointing regardless to have returned to the 2022 style...

I agree but I'm not sure we need to vituperate in order to vent It's one thing when analysing to say that it was not Harmes best day, a completely different thing to make him a whipping boy (Not saying you've said anything along those lines, more a general observation re Demonland post game thread today)

Whelp.

Far out 😭 our accuracy in front of goal has been so disappointing today

Oh god, come on boys!!!

No!! 😭

That's it Sparrow! Keep pushing boys!!!

Far out, this game has been demoralising

Thank you Fritter. We really need to rally from here!

Salo has been a bright spot this game, and not just because he's freshly dyed his hair

Or 3

Yep it's been shocking, far too close on the ball. Very annoying to try and understand the game

Hopefully no concussion for Sparrow 😰

Good work by Sparrow just then

Better quarter from Gawn which is nice

Oh my God, come on boys and sort yourselves out

Attaboy TMac!!

What is Serong's problem??

With Swan's injuries, my gut feel is Carlscum can get it done. However, it is at the SCG and maybe Carlton will choke as they often do...

Was listening to the Footyology podcast this arvo while working and they mentioned Fremantle scalped us last year at the G. I was fuming that they didn't remember this context! Granted, couldn't argue with their statement that our season went into a downward turn after this game...

Was so scarred by this last year that I purchased tickets to sit with the Demon Army last week for my whole family!

Does this exclude people not named in the post? Damn, there goes my bet on Goody 😋
