Demon Disciple

I only assume it’s because Jack will step up as skip in Gawn’s absence.

Dogs had to pay ‘fairly’ for him. Agree it should have stayed the same, but no, knee jerk overreaction from the AFL

Hopefully there’s a blizzard of goals against the swanettes this Sunday.

Petty has been pretty average down back so far imo. Drop TMAC, bring in May and have Petty up forward. That’s throwing a bit of a curve ball at them.

This. Scratching my head that we’re 1.60 favourites. That will come in no doubt, but gosh we’d want to start a hell of a lot better than we did this week. Hard to judge Dogs game (Saints rolled them by 50 as well) and the Lions game (Max goes down inside 5, we play half a quarter of footy and nearly roll them). This will indicate where we are more realistically at. If we can’t beat the Swans (something we have struggled with recently) then we ain’t doing much this year. Longmire also comprehensively has the wood over Goody, so let’s see if it’s the same old ‘back in the system’ or something a little different. A lot of this is up to the players’ mindset……….do they want to work hard for it?

And he looks to have had a fair few snags over summer too

It looked an extremely innocuous hit from a falling down Jack. Glad it ain’t ACL. Maybe Max would do well wearing protective knee bracing, much how like Salo wears tape around his wrists. Tape those knees up for protection.

Get PIG and May back in and the backline just looks so much more composed.

Yes, it’s very disconcerting indeed. The filth are great fun to watch. The only thing that we have going is that it’s March with 6 months for them to lose their way 🤞

4-6 weeks. Sure, why am I doubting that now.

I like it.

No one in this team (or coaches box) is willing to do something to change the game. I don’t care if we turn into the skid, just do something.

The whole team needs to sit down and watch it.

This game just looks like it’s gonna peter out without much else happening. Do something to change the state of the game. Come on Goody, come on anyone. Our inability to change mid course continues to be a problem.

That’s what you get with another differing opinion thrown in.

Do we want to kick a goal?

Would love to know what was said at the 1/2, coz clearly it’s had little impact on the players. This group is feeling sorry for themselves, and playing like it.

Even so, the sun will rise tomorrow.

Of course upset for Max, but there is still a game to be won. One man (no matter how big) does not a team make. Time to see how our supposed improved depth goes in the 2nd half.

It may be

Clearly the guys didn’t come out with the right mindset. That’s on the coach/es

What is our midfield doing?

It looks like a suspected medial injury for Max Gawn, given he has ice on the inside of his knee. Not ideal, but certainly better than a potential ACL injury.

Brisbane have their tails up and we are still on the plane it seems. Could get ugly. Will be interesting to see if anyone wants to stand up for us.

16-6 inside 50’s. What is our midfield doing?
