  1. Yep. Emergency but playing today.
  2. All eyes on JVR at Casey this arvo.
  3. 6. Viney 5. Petracca 4. Brayshaw 3. Fritsch 2. Langdon 1. Petty
  4. That’s our DNA.
  5. There is no denying that tonight’s game is a litmus test for both teams. We all know that the colours that apply to the original ‘litmus test’, from which the modern term is derived, were red and blue. This thesis provides conclusive evidence of a Demon win. The final margin is harder to prove scientifically, but I’m suggesting 20 points.
  6. 100% agree 3183 ....... and this was borne out by Kade Chandler, who in his interview today, used words like, "today was one of the most intense training sessions I've ever been part of ......"
  7. Articles about Chandler on the MFC site suggest to me that he'll be a starter in Perth. His quality game for Casey in the wet last weekend, adds weight to this, I reckon.
  8. I’m with you Megatron, and I get the same ‘gut feel’ from Goody’s presser this morning.
  9. Very simplistic assessment by Stokes imo.
  10. Fantastic as always guys. Thanks! All eyes will be on @binman from now on 😀😃
  11. Looking forward to the poddy, as always! if you can fit it in, I’d love to hear the views of the panel on whether the Jackson / Brayshaw contract issues are / are not impacting on team performance. Thank you!
  12. I wrote the following about JVR in the Casey thread: "JVR was solid in conditions that didn’t suit. His competitiveness, willingness to put his body on the line, and bring others into the play, are all attributes we currently don’t have forward of centre in the ‘ones’. Low possessions, but he didn’t do his chances any harm." It might be a bit soon, but given our need for another tall forward, I'd take a punt, in tandem with either BBB or Weid.
  13. My thoughts (from TV) on those who seemed to be around the mark for senior selection: Bowey an excellent game where his class shone through. On that performance, would be pushing hard for a senior return. Chandler was good. I haven’t been a fan, but 4 goals to back up his recent returns, must put him very close to earning another opportunity. JVR was solid in conditions that didn’t suit. His competitiveness, willingness to put his body on the line, and bring others into the play, are all attributes we currently don’t have forward of centre in the ‘ones’. Low possessions, but didn’t do his chances any harm. Lawrie just okay in conditions that I thought should have suited him. Was hoping for more based on recent form. Dunstan is the obvious replacement if we need a big bodied mid in the ‘ones’, but ball use will always be his problem. Hunt was solid and showed good run / carry on a few occasions. Probably enjoyed the freedom of not having a ‘lock down’ role. Turner did his job capably after a month on the sidelines. A very slim possibility to travel to Perth if Lever doesn’t get up, but probably needs another run.
  14. I was very surprised when I read his numbers. I watched the game (TV) and didn’t think he did that much. Thought he had an okay game, especially given his long lay off, but nothing like what is suggested by those stats.
  15. Tough assignment ……….. lots of chaff / not much wheat! 6. Brayshaw 5. Gawn 4. Oliver 3. Hibberd 2. Fritsch 1. May
  16. Draw = best possible outcome for the Dees.
  17. Tough game, and a huge effort from the boys if we can get up. Our team defence will need to be at its very best, because it’s hard to see us mustering a large score. Predictions: * Dees to make a (mini) statement with a 9 point win; * Clarrie to make up for lost time with yet another ‘best on’ performance; * woe be betide any dog who happens into Jack Viney’s path; * the Skipper to snag 3
  18. The odds are against us tomorrow evening. If we win it will be huge .... a sign that the Demon spirit is emerging in time for September.
  19. Fairly predictable team I guess, but Tommo is very unlucky imo. Maybe he will be medi-sub, or possibly replace Rick Lever, if he fails a late test before the game.
  20. Very common sense view.
  21. We all did, but when he comes back on Saturday evening, he will be in the mood to eat a Sherrin!
  22. I thought the following snippet from the Mongrel Punt was as gem, and well worth sharing with Demonland friends: "There were multiple “little things” moments that seemed to fall the way of the Dees in this game. Make no mistake – this is not luck. It’s amazing how the harder you work, the luckier you get, huh?"
  23. Thanks for another enjoyable poddy folks, and especially for taking the time to canvass the issues confronting our forward line in the absence of TMac.
  24. Gutted for Eliza. Fortunately the prognosis for complete recovery is very positive.
  25. This is an obvious question, but I think it warrants detailed analysis going into September. Our forward half just isn’t working right now, and hasn’t for much of the season (or at least since TMac was injured). Do the panel see this as primarily a personnel problem, a form problem, a problem of cohesion, or a problem with our entries? Is it too late in the season to experiment with different personnel? The recent ‘experiments’ (Weid, M.Brown, Melksham, Bedford) haven’t borne much fruit.
