  1. Geelong 10 flags in 125 years. Massive underachiers having had a massive home ground advantage throughout that period. We had a near 60 year hiatus from winning a premiership and they still can't catch us!
  2. You make good points. Just think Geelong are playing to their absolute capacity. At the moment we've got half a dozen consistent contributors and that's it! Still 5/2. Viney, Petracca and Clarry can all improve. There's only one way for JVR and Petty. Fritsch to a lesser extent. I think we're ready for a big challenge. We were rusty off the bye against Richmond. Second half was good. Just get a sense we're ready to launch!
  3. Geelong gave up 105 points against a depleted and also inaccurate Carlton. We won't allow that. Geelong's conversion rate was off the charts. Unlikely to happen next week. Add to the fact they're due for a loss we will win.
  4. We will beat Geelong. Our midfield is overdue to fire and too strong for the Cats. If any team can cover Hawkins and Cameron we can. This scoreline has massively flattered them thus far. Return for much lower entries is remarkable against an undermanned Carlton defence. I'm confident.
  5. Meant to say they won't risk McAdam etc. May well target it him for the Eagles game. Carlton might be too soon.
  6. Zero chance Tomlinson comes in. Be very surprised if they risk even though his cameo performance was outstanding yesterday. Could be the difference maker in the forward line eventually. Bailey for Woewodin is possible. The only other change could be if they feel need to give Windsor a rest. If that is the case it's Hunter for me.
  7. This! People are forgetting that Petty had an extremely interrupted pre season. I'm surprised he's even on the park. Yes, his form hasn't been great but watching the replay he had a 'nearly' game. Maybe his foot is shot. Dunno. But if fit we must persevere. Went to watch Casey yesterday. Fullarton definitely shows promise but very lightweight. I wouldn't fancy going in with him and youngsters Turner and JVR against an experienced Geelong defence. Throw in the fact that for the most part delivery into the forward line last night was atrocious,Petty stays for me.
  8. Can somebody please tell me to never make a statement like this again!!
  9. At the huge risk of getting ahead of myself and not wanting to jinx the team🤞to go on and have a big win would be excellent. As I'm sure all are aware the lower the opposition score the better the percentage. The % difference come the end of the season could be critical. Having said that I'll take any win atm!!
  10. Interestingly KFW 'managed'. Code for dropped. Needs to go back to suburban football for some time to see if he's actually got anything. Unfortunately for him, and us, I strongly doubt that he has.
  11. He might be one game short of a gallop but I would love to see Turner come in for BBB tomorrow night and play forward. He's aggressive, quick off the mark, can kick for goal, compete and, best of all, versatile. Just needs a reasonable run with injury.
  12. So we have Demon Seats+ memberships. Access to 16 games. Does that mean we can just scan at the gate and sit in a general area? Not accepting the barcode online.
  13. In a heartbeat! Can turn a game un a quarter. Probably not tough enough for Hardwick. At 23 his best is ahead of him. Not sure how he gets to us though?
  14. No worries mate. None of us can be 100% on these things. Even better than Moore early on was Kelvin Templeton. They came together in an unprecedented coup. Pretty sure I was at a game at Kardinia Park when Templeton booted 8 goals in his second game for our club. Simply sensational! I was extremely buoyed with confidence with the brilliant Moore and others. Alas, Templeton's 3 seasons at Melbourne were riddled with injury and the rest is history. He did kick 51 goals in an interrupted second season and averaged a creditable 3 goals per game in a poor team hampered by achilles and other issues. What might have been....
  15. Fullerton was good and could have kicked 5. Personally I would like to see Turner tried up forward and give BB a rest. The only caveat about the form line from Sunday is that Port are likely to be a cellar dweller again. Mind you, Casey not travelling that well. I suppose the club might think that Turner needs more than one game back. I hope not. I think he has a big upside and provides versatility. Wouldn't mind seeing what Fullerton at senior level. Gives Max a chop out and allows JVR to spend more time up forward which hopefully might be a badly needed confidence boost against the Tigers.
  16. I respectfully beg to differ. He left Collingwood in somewhat acrimonious circumstances. Loved his time at the Dee's.
  17. Peter Moore won a Brownlow with us. If a debilitating back/ hamstring issue didn't cut his career short by at least a season Darcy Moore could well have been in Demon colours. Moore openly stated he loved the MFC.
  18. Laurie Fowler was a reliable and consistent back pocket, nothing more. Yes, good pick up.Robbie Flower is still the greatest Demon I've ever seen. How he doesn't make it into the top 50 lists of GOAT'S is bemusing. Of his 272 games I reckon I missed only a handful live. To have won only one b &f and Fowler two is an indictment and embarrassment to all involved at the time. I am aware club voting is based differently to Brownlow's etc but Robbie was the consumate team player, clubman and superstar. Thankfully was humble and got on with it. I can remember Fowler being coy about the awards.
  19. Hopefully Turner plays up forward in the AFL very soon. Huge upside. His versatility is a bonus. Just needs a decent run with injury.🤞
  20. I'll politely disagree. I'd go as far to say he is a certainty to be in the 23 against the Tigers. Match winning second half.
  21. Might have gone a bit early on Sestan! Hunter fantastic second half. Given he'll likely play in a match sim next week must come in against the Tigers. Too good for this level. Laurie very good. Turner might need another one but an excellent first up game. Provides flexibility. Interest at selection table.
  22. Laurie showing plenty. Fullarton has promise for the near future. Verrall definitely in time. Turner not bad for a first up run. Tomlinson looks disinterested and confidence shot. Understandable on both counts. Grave doubts about Jefferson. Put a line through Sestan. Are they having a laugh by playing KFW?
  23. Not good but could have been worse.
