  1. Kent has not been that great in the 4 games since being back , hardly banging down the door. AVB deserves it more on VFL form It is probably just going to be a one week spot anyways with Melk due to come back the next week.
  2. Good for exposure and hopefully more sponsor s personally I hate attending Friday nights. Day games are this family man's go
  3. Put Viney on ice . I'm worried about his long term. Our midfield is working well without him so no need to rush back again
  4. Our boys look off. Need to find something to have any chance
  5. It's the bizzaro world game opposition dominate inside 50 and contested ball and we score everytime we go inside 50
  6. but he has been pretty average at casey since coming back. Agree that he has way more upside than JKH but needs to show something at the lower level.
  7. Well said Smokey
  8. Shoulda coulda blah blah we lost those games cause we didn't execute as good as the opposition. I try not to think what ifs as a demon supporter it's only gonna enhance the pain
  9. It's all in the head for our beloved demon's I truly believe we are top 4 quality . Although apart from the top 2 the rest of the 8 are all iffy on any given day
  10. The afl pays these stains on humanity . What a disgrace.
  11. Smith is a good option to cover Menzel. He has good athleticism and can spoil .if he can do that and Menzel only kicks 1-2 I'm happy.
  12. I Like Mitch Wallis, really versatile good skills. would be an upgrade on the ANB/Bugg type
  13. Wagner and Maynard were not great selections in hindsight
  14. We play in Perth on Sunday the week before. I'd prefer Sunday slot
  15. Our kicking out of defence has been horrible.
  16. 100% agree Hannan has done SFA all year
  17. Yep quite a few times this year he has basically said WTF demons about how we are playing particullay the ease teams score against us. He spent 3 years with a defense first mindset now we so easy to score against
  18. At least 2 should be 3 eyes of the ball and elbow to the head. So what if Zach tuoy played out the game it was intentional high impact in my book it floored him.
  19. Might have gone a tad early
  20. Goodnight Geelong game over. Nothing would make me happier than a win against the doggies then beating the cats down there and severely denting their finals chances
  21. Vince is an upgrade on smith despite Smiths athletic attributes. Jkh is and always has been a midfielder. He is a similar type to stretch albiet smaller. Neat skills ok pace cracks in when he has to. Not best 22 but he is next in line after decent Casey form. Get behind him
  22. He has been in good form I'll back him to do well.
  23. Yep the definitely prepared for us last time. I was worried after they jumped to a 3 goal lead. After the game Goodwin and a lot of the players mentioned the Doggies did some things they we were not ready for. Anyone know what that was? This will be a good test to see our new found "focus on defense" At the open space of the MCG. This game is exactly the test we failed against st Kilda , it will say a lot about where we are at and if we have really learned from the stkilda game
  24. Agree on Harmes he has been really good this past month his disposal improving
  25. Too old by 20 days or something. They should change award to rookie of the year. Fritsch and Kelly from Geelong have been best 1st year players in the league this year and won't get any recognition
