  1. Another fantastic duo pod guys. Both interesting and comprehensive, but most of all enjoyable. Thank you! ❤️💙
  2. I need a much larger body of evidence before I’ll be ‘sold’ on Jeffo, but yesterday’s signs were encouraging! Play him for the rest of the season, and let’s see where that takes us. I surely hope that @picket fence has been on the money all along!
  3. I thought Howes had an excellent game for Casey, and to me, he looks a class above for the VFL. I’d like to see him return to the seniors, but played on the wing, as a replacement for Lindsay / Windsor, who are looking like they have run out of energy in their young legs. I’d value your thoughts, thanks guys.
  4. Very satisfying win. My thoughts on our best / mostinfluential. Petracca Melksham Gawn Langford Oliver Fritsch Just outside my top 6: Salem, TMac
  5. Nice win. Very good second half. A few random observations: Melks in outstanding form. Leadership personified in our forward line; Great to see a few of our experienced players back approaching their best, after a quiet run of form (Tracc, Clarrie, Salo, Chin, Fritta); Max a step closer to to AA number 8; Langford playing like a 100 game veteran. Will become a ‘household name’; Some of our youngsters looking very weary (X, Windsor). End of season can’t come soon enough for them, I expect; Not yet fully convinced by Jeffo, but today was a step in the right direction. Keep it up, young fella; Horrendous hit on Spaz. He was ‘out to it’ before his head bounced after hitting the ground. Fingers firmly crossed for him. Loved the turn around in the goals to points ratio. Delivery into the forward half had a fair bit to do with that.
  6. I’m hoping for a win by such a big margin, that there won’t be another post in the ‘Time to Go Goody’ thread for a month. ………. but I’m tipping a margin of about 4 goals in our favour, after a hard fight. I’ll do my best to ignore the “Time to Go Goody” thread for a month, should the unthinkable happen.
  7. Skill errors galore by both teams at the half Nobody apart from Howes, and perhaps, Adams pressing for senior selection at this stage.
  8. Sadly not where I live, but so be it. I’ll resort to my ‘phone and the AFL site.
  9. Well spotted Harvey. TMac recalled for Maysie (ill)
  10. I almost invariably back team selections by our Match Committee (who are much better placed than any of us to make these calls) but I will make the observation that Fritta will need to serve up a much, much better effort than his ‘limp wet lettuce’ performance in Adelaide. He is much better than that!
  11. I’m incredibly saddened to hear this news. Never to be forgotten. RIP Dicko #9
  12. Fantastic ‘duo Pod’ last night guys. Constructive, informative and a damn good listen as always! Thank you for keeping us Demon tragics sain during the tough times! ❤️💙
  13. From reports and observations, Luker Kentfield has some strong qualities that will translate well to AFL. He seems to be developing well, with good recent VFL form. My questions for the Panel: Has Luker done enough to earn a place ahead of Jeffo for a spot in our forward half? The Jeffo experiment doesn’t seem to be working at present. If Petty needs another week in the Protocols (which seems a possibility given his recent concussion history) is next week too soon to give Luker a taste at the top level? Love your work guys. Thank you!
  14. For the most part I loved the overall intensity and effort from our boys. May Viney Turner Melksham Pickett Bowey Riv, Max and Lingers deserve a mention.
  15. I look forward to Luker’s debut in 2025!
