Imagine how Dawes must feel if a 55 second delay is all it takes for ManDee to flip out in rather amusing fashion. (Sorry ManDee - I feel your pain)

Players that have been traded to the club for genuine currency seem to get picked first. I expect Kennedy and Bugg to be in the round 1 team as would likely Lumumba and Dawes be if fit. Frost may be a loading issue back from a long lay-off but I doubt it. That said, I really liked what I saw from BenKen in the second half of NAB 1 and imagine he'll be a solid fixture season long. Just needs to be informed the sub rule no longer exists.

Did you check his shopping basket for paleo compliance Pineapple Dee?

This thread is making me feel a little queasy.

i have a weakness for reading 300 circular posts in an argument where the opposing participants are never likely to swayed. I had a promising off-season but I'm back to same errors week in week out. .

With the rhetoric stripped away the common line in this thread is that Tommy needs to respect his limitations. My expectation is that that's not what he's being told at all and that the coaching staff believe he can improve on the perceived limitations and be moulded into a creative running back. Otherwise it would seem he'd be in constant breach of fairly simple team instructions.

End of post-match presser. Frost is now playing Howe's mysterious forward role from last season.

In the red and blue as well.

I lived in Auckland for a year or so and was hard-pressed finding a TV screen showing the AFL let alone a Demons supporters' group. Got kicked out of a pub at quarter time of the 2004 grandie with eight others when four dudes walked in demanding to watch the provincial ruggers. We ended up commandeering a Chinese pokies palace on K-road. You could try that.

If Autocorrect were the coach of our beloved Discomknockerated Football Club then Terlich could become Terrifich in an instant.

No, but in a roundabout way Kennedy was what we gave up for Dawes minus Matt Jones. Oh, and that Clark bullet we dodged is now a cannon-ball sized crater at CHF.

Serious question. How would we feel about co-captains again in Viney and Brayshaw come 2018 or so?

Well that's certainly left-field for a bloke who has kicked perhaps ten goals in his career. 3 or 4 a game would be pretty handy across a season. I'm more curious as to who you would turf from our forward fifty to fit him in?

Garland for Garlett perhaps?

Never ever mess with a winning formula. In fact, we should negotiate a trade for Jones and Vince now.

Mon, I wrote this over on the game day as an at ground level perspective; Dispatch from the ground for Pineapple Dee. Salem was pushing up from half-back to our forward-half contests early but otherwise holding back (not sure if this was in relation to opponent or not) - after the quarter break especially so; in an old school sweeper role to stem the circa 98'-alike Power kicking cheap goals over the top. Seemed to be coasting a bit today but lost track of him after half time. I should add that at times he even looked a little lost, as if following new instructions rather than instinct.

He made some pretty serious angry faces while in pursuit on Saturday. I'm not sure though if these were just run-of-the-mill grimaces in the heat.

If Dawes reads the play so well he should become a commentator. Yes, he is not the best mark agreed. But he also kicked for goals at about once a match on average last season and was at less than 50% accuracy (not including total shanks).

Definition: WASP is a feature of limited overs matches only.

Not much science in picking our first-round 22 is probably overstating the case as well.

van-oh-you-didn't-Burg as he checksides from 45 out on the boundary . . .
