if the Whisper that Thomo will be dropped in deference to Petty is true are we so sure that Petty will then replace Thomo down back and not play Forward as was Goody's preference for him ?
perhaps they thought there was no match up for Thomo down back given the wet conditions and are deciding to go smaller down back . Bowey comes in . Use May and Lever and Hibbo and Rivers on any combination of Hawkins , Cameron , Rohan and Henry . It's a risk but so is playing Thomo . i agree though that he is stiff considering the game he played last week .
bit nervy about this game. we need to kick straight firstly if we are to have a chance to win this one. i cant go this week so will be watching at home with beers.
oh I forgot to ask my question:
I have heard you speak about us adjusting our gameplan slightly this year but as I'm relatively new here and not very analytical when it comes to how I watch games I would like a little bit of an explainer about what you've noticed about our tweaks to the gameplan. correct me if I am wrong and apologies for any ignorance but I have seen a shift from us playing predictable down the line footy, which did work for us in 21, to us taking the game on more by taking risks in using the corridor. I know it's not as simple as that and there is probably a lot more that my untrained eye is missing so can please enlighten me so that the next time I'm at the footy or probably more accurately at the pub I can pretend that I know what I am waffling on about.
thank you for you time. keep up the stellar job guys.

hey DEMONLAND FAMILY i am relatively NEW to the podcast having been recommended to listen a few weeks back by a lovely lady near the DEMON ARMY cheersquad. this is my first message on this website and I want to relay my thanks and gratitude to you 3 for your considered analysis and the use of stats to paint the bigger picture that can sometimes be hazy in all the emotions of GAME DAY. the wins can be euphoric and the losses can be soul crushing but I have found that listening to your dissections of the matches in the past few weeks have given me a greater appreciation of the games and have made me realise that it's a long season and we're playing the long game. so thank you for your efforts to bring comfort after a loss and of course to celebrate all the wins along the way.
