Jesse Hogan v Joe Daniher
Joe has a face only a rimmer could love. no comparison. We have something special in Hogan. Essendon have someone who thinks he is special in Daniher. There is the difference.

Casey Demons v Box Hill Hawks - Round 6
Hunt stays up. ANB is line ball. Garlett as travelling emergency- is he back in time? All depends on Salem and Viney.

The Jesse Incident
If they start calling people out for staging half of the Geelong team will be reported every week. it is the umpire that blew the free that should be questioned, not the player. also, it is not in a Hogan’s interests to go to ground there. His interest is getting in position for the kick in. in the martial arts we teach it is more effective to use an open hand to strike the throat like this and used properly, a low impact strike can have devastating consequences. carlisle is lucky, as the strike carries severe risk. hogan’s response was appropriate. commentators can find something else to be outraged about

Dom Tyson
I like the idea of giving him more time and space on the outside, and if Viney gets back in and under (with Clarry, Angus, Salem and Jones), then more time and space could make him even better. He can still rotate through the contest. a few awful moments (hospital handballs, taking on the tackler, etc), but lots of good in yesterday’s game.

Collingwood vs Melbourne
That is both clever and insightful.

Casey Demons v Geelong VFL
Would be great if a few of you would get a room, and get back on topic. Kicking the crap out of each other on this forum may seem like fun (or make you feel good), but enough already! I like reading posts of most of the people that are on Demonland, but this constant back biting and spitball throwing stuff is tiring. If it is not this thread, then you guys will go at it in another. Cant you decide to have one free hit each and then get over it?

The Injury Ladder
Makes me think of Nassim Taleb (of the 'black swan' effect). Randomness suggests that the good run is just a coincidence series. When they crash, they can crash hard and if this is one of the key reasons they have been successful, then the 'crash' can be a wipeout for them. Consider long term injuries to Rance, Martin, Cotchin and Reiwoldt in one weekend. It is as possible as their good run continuing. Perhaps we are better being near the mean - which we may be approaching after our good run - and being able to cope by having functional depth. Also, games lost does not reflect the quality of the games lost. Would you prefer a game lost to Viney or to Maynard? To Gawn or to King?

Post Match Discussion - Round 6
Its funny, isn’t it? We stick with the Tigers for 3 1/2 quarters and get blown away in the end. The third quarter was some of the toughest pressure football by two teams I have seen in ages. Wrist slashing and the narrative is how bad the Dees are Pies stick with them for 3 quarters and get blown out at the end and ‘they are back’. Tigers are a benchmark. Hate the way the industry panders to the pies and the dons.

I would say bananas, but that would be rude.

Professional umpires would be a welcome addition to the game.

Come on optimists, sell me hope
There are sellers and there are buyers in the market of ‘hope’, also in the market of ‘despair’. this forum is like schizophrenics anonymous. 1/2 time in round six and you want someone to give you hope. My god, man. You are no Winston Churchill.

Daniher under the Pump; Will Destroy Us
Over rated. I would call him a spud, but that is tough on the humble potato. Ugly, dumb and believes he is schpeessshaall....

Changes vs Saints
Thought Hunt blazed away and wasted possession. He had footspeed, but he either has to do better, or go back.

GAME DAY
Melksham is having a blinder. All the inclusions look inspired, although I would like a few more goals from TMAc

Match Preview and Team Selection - Round 6
I think the talls gives us really important balance. Max will need more rest than usual after a short break, for starters. I see the importance of Tom staying back at FF, Hogan, Weids and Max offering chopout marking options (Max CHB, Hogan Centre and Weids CHF) coming forward and max, Hogan and Weids offering a defensive wall at 50-70m on their kick-ins to block up the exits. We have been outmarked so often, and have needed our tall forward to push too high up the ground leaving no option for a target on entry inside 50. If TMac stays home with Charlie at his feet, and Hogan and Weids can crunch packs and give chop out options, we will look much better. The taller players also give us a better chance to switch to a target, then find a runner. Going inside 50, I see Hogan as a delivery vehicle, TMac to mark and Goal, and Weids to make contests , crash packs, get the ball to ground, and maybe grab a few marks himself. I think this is the most important change that we have made to the team balance.

Petracca to miss Essendon Game
The dog will gain super-pupper strengths after biting Trac. if the dog was radioactive, then we will have a superhero on our hands. otherwise, I hope he gets well soon.
