Just gutted like all of you. I have one wish to make me feel a little better. Making the finals and then knocking the Cats out of them.

Great and Kent 14 which is amazing for him. VDB could be a big in for us soon.

Our only chance IMO, after the injuries, is to apply manic pressure and not let them get any flow in their game. This requires mental toughness. A failure to do this could see us get smashed, given they have the familiar ground, the crowd and inevitably will have the umpires.

Was feeling quite confident about the Cats game until we lost Viney and Hibberd.

Especially on the bigger MCG type grounds where he can run to space and break the lines.

Well just for them I heard Dusty, Lynch, McGovern, Cripps and Curnow have signed with us for next year.

Would usually be concerned about a product made by a company called Nippys, but in the interest of research will try it.

Taking players from other clubs who were possibly high draft picks or not, but who didn’t produce their best at the club who drafted them, has been successful many times. Often more so than drafting. A couple of reasons for this could be that you have seen them against senior players and you might know of a reason why they haven’t performed to their ability, like injury or homesickness for example.

My last game at Kardinia Park was 186, where I saw our seniors and reserves lose by about a combined 50 goals. It was a nightmare. Said I wouldn’t ever come back and I haven’t and won’t.

Yes.

I am staggered he hasn’t got a rising star award yet, given his performances this year and especially since a few of the winners had far less impressive games than Charlie, in the particular round they were nominated.

Not at the start of quarters or after goals there isn’t.

Put Hunt on the wing and it is no issue.

Well yes but Cyril was a generational player. They don’t grow on trees. Unrealistic draft aim, especially with no first round pick.

I would love to get another Hunt, but with better disposal and maybe an Eddie/Jeffy type, who can get a goal from nothing and also have the pace to apply real defensive pressure.

Hibberd gives up bananas and gets injured. Will they never learn?

Geelong fairly light on for injuries now. A couple of hff’s. Henderson back and Taylor could be ok.

I don’t and I would bet Horse agrees.

That joke has been done to death on DL

Think he signed a new contract last year.

Harmes tagged Macrae in 2 nd half and did well.

Someone said to me, that JKH, like players who are given a chance, often play with the fear that a mistake could see them dumped. This clearly would restrict their natural instinct and ability to play well. On that basis, without any better player being available, he gets another game.

So you have always thought Jones was a crap player. Fair enough if that is your opinion. I think most on here and the MFC and the players he played with and the footy public would disagree. But that is ok. When he won his Blueys did you post on here that he had beaten no one? Have you called for his dumping regularly? I am happy to question players ability but I don’t agree with personal attacks and rewriting history.

No I am angry at the rubbish being posted that Jones was never any good and the fairly nasty attacks on him. I accept the legitimate questioning of a player’s current ability as I always have.

Didn’t put him at the top of the Best Demons Ever List. I said he would be on the List. Obviously you don’t. 3 Blueys doesn’t happen every day. I don’t understand the venom for Jones. Some on here should be ashamed to call themselves Demon fans.
