Interesting times. I hope the focus shifts off the dees since we cant stink it up this week. Who knows the way this season is going. Really the Swans and hawks are in form atm, everyone else is a bit of a guess. Cant trust too many to play their best footy this time of year, and expect some upsets.
-
So, just sayin….we ain’t dead yet. Sure we got problems, and everyone is kicking us while we are down. Im sticking fat (perhaps I need a ticket to fairy land…) If we can work out how we want to play, and get back to pressure in every contest as a non negotiable, things will turn. 2 games out and a week off. Let’s go in the second half and build towards the finals. Confidence is infectious.

Thanks DD, i greatly appreciate your efforts. My thought was that if we are trying to do something different, we might (for example) have lower pressure acts but more uncontested possies? Some of the scores in comparison to previous are disastrous, so I was really asking if there was an explanation in the change of style, or have many fallen away so much?
-
If we are playing differently, then isnt comparison to previous seasons not very valuable? The numbers on their own are woeful. I dont have any clue how they are trying to play- nor do most of the team going on what i saw….

Christian Petracca’s 2024 Season Ending Injuries
buck_nekkid replied to pitmaster's topic in Melbourne Demons
Time to release the kolt! Get well soon, CP5 -
Nothing is ever as good or as bad as it seems. Have we lost our way? It feels that we are modifying our gameplan and have lost our DNA. We seem confused and have a lack of confidence in what we are doing. Can you please discuss and maybe help me see a ‘bright side’ to all of this,

We are not good enough. The gamed has evolved and we cant keep up.. 10th flatterers us

2024 Marsh AFL National Championships

Sounds like types of toothpaste… -
Used to taking a dive, so should be good at this…
-
Right! Howes quickly i ballsed that up. Meant Howes…

Tommo out, Howes in. Better balance for pies setup. Lingers back to a wing, Kolt to HF, Windsor on other wing. Woey on bench not sub. Kossie more time forward, McAdam either out or on absolute notice. JVR straight in. Disco back, Petty CHF leading up to the wings Nibbler and mcVee run with Daicos My best is they will try to spread us like everyone else has. Gotta win the contest and get back to basics.

Love your work @WalkingCivilWar

Honest but no answers

No to Maynard whacking. Ignore him completely. Make him insignificant, not the focus.
-
Wtf was that? (Serious question!) My next question is about depth and fringe players. We rely on too few to be superstars and drag the rest along, when Trac and max look good, so do the others. Are the rest of the squad seriously that fringe that they need these two to carry them each week? (Harsh i know but that’s where it is at.) who else can carry the team? if Oliver was rested and Viney out injured, who would come in?
-
Pulled up sore at training. Not too bad, more ’precautionary’. As i read it.

As long as that pulse is taken on a thumping haemorrhoid….

lol indeed! ‘Darwin factor’ - are they referring to the Darwinian concept of ‘survival of the fittest’? Most adaptable wins??
-
Blockbuster??? Really?? The dishlickers vs the busted up birdbrains. Not a blockbuster for mine
-
Interesting message to Fullarton and Schache. If they were up to it, would we be cutting their lunch selecting this kid??
-
A tad cryptic for those who avoid afl media???
-
Any chance we will pass? A recruit through mid season may play at Casey until the end of the year to learn systems, etc build a suitable engine and a body of work to warrant selection. It a bit of the ‘bus stop of desperation’, unless we can access a kid who we missed at the real draft and think has what we need next year or beyond.

6+4 = 10, seems ok by me!
-
Waterman is also from good Neanderthal stock….
-
Wowee,so much angst after 1 loss (a bad one no doubt)…or even based on the last 2 games. im going to support the boys no matter who is picked. They are my team regardless if i disagree (from my seat up in the stands) with selection. We have some interesting scenarios to play out, a lot of upside to find, but we ain’t done yet… GO Dees
