Its funny how some apologists are not quoting Luke Jackson when bleating Tall forwards take 5 years to make a difference.

I had been thinking most of the year that Weids number represents what we should ask for in trade at the end of the year. I was comfortable with him having a decent run of games to hold his marks and show some confidence. That time ends now. I think BBB number is what we will get in trade.

We only need Viney. he is standalone as a top 5 player. The rest? Petty is a very good replacement for Tomlinson. And it seems Weid and Ben Brown are of a probable similar worth to the team ATM.

nickname Spud?

thats still very good.

2 points. Micky malthouse has arguably s*** the bed in leaving his last 2 clubs in tatters Pies still paying $5.50 on sportsbet for QB, but if a loyal dee fan like me the +32.5 at the line is tasty

This has probably already been commented on, but Wayne carey is getting worse. At one point he called James Jordon "Jordan Lewis" and followed it up later by calling Tom MacDonald "James MacDonald".

Please refer to the record. I said get Tmac and Clarry involved and we are right in this. ? Posted Friday at 09:13 PM i think we are still in it if we can get our good players into the game. Clarry, Tmac and Salem

Carlton ... Schadenfreude

When I look back on the injuries to really good players of which we have had very few, with who takes their spot , i.e. Warren Dean out, Brad Sparks in; we now have a whole field of guns, stuff all injuries and we are trying to squeeze in Jack Viney and Ed Langdon!

I think its ok to say that Sam may be improving but it is a slow ride. It is also ok to say that Ben Brown is more mature and this year and probably next would be a better option. I find it interesting that people give a firm opinion and then tell us that football clubs dont rate supporters opinions.

Its not how much we need to stick with Weid, and the pressure on him is unfortunately enormous. There are 2 other important aspects. Goody gives each player not winning his spot at least 4 weeks. Time fades away. The other thing is; What is fair to Ben Brown who has a 4 year contract? I think that we need to give BBB 4 weeks and have Sam as Sub. Else we need to try Dogga (or Sam) on a wing. It was discussed for TMac so why not bring these 2 into the equation?

Weid will have one more match and then Ben Brown will have 4 matches. I reckon they are both aware of how goody will treat them. Everyone gets 4 matches. Melksham may be a special case.

Im winning big on the Demons. But Ive been punting on them since early '80s.... you work it out

i think we are still in it if we can get our good players into the game. Clarry, Tmac and Salem

We need Tmac to not crowd the square

Put Clarry forward. harmes is playing ok. put him on Neal

Im really happy you feel you can come to us demonlanders for support. That cheers my heart. My fervent condolences Demonox.

One contest Im looking forward to is Angus vs Mitch. Angus is the new Vanders.

I cant find the stat ATM, but the Lions mostly get away to to great start in the 1st qtr. This is what the Dogs relied on last week as we had been seen as catching up during the games and our fitness outlasting oppositions, but we jumped them instead in the 1st which stuffed their tactics. So we need to stick with Brisbane in what may be an unbelievably torrid 1st quarter tonight. McCluggage and Robinson are the 2 to stop in my opinion. They lift the others around them.

Is there a more unfit player in the league than Nik Nat? Last qtr he couldnt jog.

We are not flawless. We cover each others flaws, and we play the best team footy Ive seen all year. Back us in. Its absolutely torrid but because of loss of crowds It can not look that way. Im thinking it will get closer but then 10 minutes into the last we put the foot down.

How good do we have to play to get the plaudits on here? Gives me the tom t1ts.

I believe Ben Brown will always draw the oppositions best defender. Its my belief that Weiderman will draw the 2nd best behind TomMc (If no BB) or maybe 3rd best behind either of, Luke Jackson or Fritta depending on matchups. How other teams regard our firepower should resonate and give a clue in regard to giving Sam Weiderman chances to 'come good". How many good games is it fair to say he has had? I think 10 is generous. He has played nearly 50 games IIRC.

I always watch Rory Sloane and unless he is still injured, James Harmes did a very good job on him last Saturday. Maybe for Macrae?
