There is likely to be trouble at Doggies if they lose tomorrow night to the Saints.

fantastic finish!

I get unbelievable value out of being a lifetime member of Demonland. Id pay many times the membership for the amount of time I spend here.

This [censored] muppit isnt even a full lifetime member. Thanks for your' contribution champ.

edit: apostrophe added to display contempt.

You just know that Carlton is going to win from getting a free kick.

There is no apostrophe in Brisbane

Earlier this year many mentions occured about how good our midfield were, but it seemed we often lost the clearance.

I LOVE seeing Max belt the suitcase out of the ball forward. He is doing it pretty often lately. I love seeing Jake and Big Stevie punching high balls when they cant mark and ANB, Sparrow tapping outside the congestion when possesion equals a ballup. We generally do it to advantage. It seems to me a new tactic.

Windsor reminds me of Andrew Embley

Im wondering if there will be a fitness test an hour before the game. I think Mad Micky Malthouse hoppo bumpo someone before a final about 30 years ago until he made the late change.

I wouldnt be able to tell the difference between sleeping bags and cotton wool myself.

Sure can! Remind you of an aspect of pure class like that of Stan Alves?

More like Alan Johnson IMO but I saw much more of Johnno. And he was a warm favourite behind Robbie.

Windsor like Kozzie and Rivers can kick accurately at top speed.

I took the Cashout - king -2, membrey 2, saints within 9.5

I figured his father was in Mensa but had a lisp

It's interesting that the vibe seems to be Lever had an average game.

I thought he was terrific.

He had 8 score involvements- only maxy, Billings and tracc had more.

He also had 17 disposals and was part of a group effort that shut down lobb, naughton and weightman. 

He was a key to how well we transitioned from the back half.

I think every kick forward was a turnover. He realises this and tries to kick sideways or back and sometimes there is no one there. He only kicks long and high to a pack. I think he needs to look for other options. But yes he was ok.

I have 2 comments/questions that are unfortunately a little negative and too wordy.

1) Im very impressed with some Sydney tactics; especially one where rather than take posession of a loose ball at head height in congestion, they tap it on/over towards a player. Our players, ANB in particular, prefers to take posession and attempt to either dispose or more likely accept the tackle and hope for a ball up. At best a stalemate, at worst a holding the ball. With the versatile Tracc and Clarry especially probably in the vacinity, could this be a tactic?

2) Lever cant dispose successfully almost at all, forward of the play when awarded a free or a mark. Most of his possesions are now sent backwards to a spare. Other teams are aware. When he does go forward it very much looks like he doesnt have a player as a target. His kicks are long and invariably high to a pack, if lucky. Most other quality teams are pulling back on this high kick to a pack. Even if he kicked it lower, which was something I understood we were trying to do, it would be better odds. Can anything be done? I like Jake but he is active with his feedback to players with it seems little self examination.

Anyone who is a decent kick and has a second to sum up options would kick to a player either on a lead or who has space n front. At Melbourne it looks like they kick to a pack and that makes it extremely difficult for forwards. If you are a decent enough kick it is natural to look for a target. 

As an example, one thing I like about Laurie (admittedly there are other issues) is that he finds time to look up in front of him before disposal. Jack Viney looks. Clarrie who has more time than any, doesnt look. Tracc occasionally. K9 Brown looks and thats why I think he will make it. Kicking to a position is only occasionally a good bet.

none of the umpires are consistent on this rule

Poor to put Bill on Blakey

Im unimpressed that the balls have been so slippery. the umpires  can surely dubben them up a bit.

The umpires call was a goal and it was over ruled. Wrong!

Gee Im a bit unhappy with the Kayo feed. Might have to go with the standard definition on Channel 7

They havent said Swans will wear arm bands for RDB, just Dees. They [censored] should, he got them going up there.

Im surprised the Age hasnt added in this weeks Experts tips.

No Gawn, no flag.

Maintain the rage.
