Demon Disciple

barely anyone rates us @Bring-Back-Powell. Heck, a lot of us supporters are still filled with doubt. WGAF what anyone else thinks, so long as the playing group believes, that's all that matters.

You don’t fly for marks like that when you don’t have confidence in yourself or your teammates covering for you (at least not in the defensive 50). Good to see Petty getting some continuity in his game and starting to gel with the back-line.

How many times do you have a 10-1 start to the year. Won’t get a better chance to win the big one than we do right now. Gotta make it count. Keep going Dees. Do I dare to dream?

Our home game so we should get home ground advantage. Play it in Alice, have all the guys take a 2nd test this week if need be.

Sure he didn’t get many touches, but his constant running, spoils and continual putting in for the team cannot be understated. Give me 22 guys putting in for the team over 22 blokes looking to inflate their stats every day of the week. McCrae had nearly 4x the disposals, yet Gus had nearly 4x the influence on the game. p.s. Not knocking McCrae (great player), but sometimes it’s the 1%’s that influences the game more.

Agree @ding. We haven’t been playing all that well the past month. A lot of passengers today. Im also just about done with Weid, has next to no presence. Wrong call by the coaching group to dump Brown and keep Sam in the team. Pies can have him afaic. Soft. Someone put some concrete into Fritsch so he can harden the [censored] up. Most of the players were just so lazy with their disposal and attitude. Hopefully they get a rocket in the rooms and get fired up for next week. Next 2 games will tell us a lot about where we are at.

Fritta putting in a shocker........usually he bobs up with a late goal when he plays poorly

Hoping Weid can prove his worthiness in the side in the last 2 quarters. As for our small forwards in ANB, Spargo and Kossie, wake the puck up.

Remember that goal from Cell like it was yesterday. Went down to training the following week and told him how good it was too. He just smiled and said thanks..........humble bugger!!!

chuck him back in the hole in front of Tex and Thilthorpe this weekend.

Stuff that, he can blow the cobwebs out against the Crows. If he is ready to play, play him.

No. His older brother is 100 times a better player, and even he is lucky to be in the team atm.

Meanwhile, Riewoldt gets away with not one but two instances of using studs up, kicking his opponent underneath the ball. Christian really is an inept imbecile.

The Bad: We are yet to play our best football The Good: We are yet to play our best football

Agree SONS. Quite a few around me (and myself included) reckon we are lacking that ruthless killer instinct at the moment

It's very apparent at the ground that our small forwards have been [censored] useless. The likes of Kozzie, Spargo and ANB need to lift. Trac playing like he thinks he's a world beater. No need to thrill us with every touch, just do the simple things.

Petty is nowhere near the level needed. As for Fritsch....................I’ve produced [censored] harder than he is. He is soft as puck.

He needs some confidence (will come with time) and a big pre-season in the gym (strength not size).

Gosh Petty looks very shaky. Needs to significantly build up his strength. Thought Harmes has been ok to good. Max a bit quiet again, though came into it a bit more during the second. Quite a few have the fumbles.........calm down and play simple footy.

Yep, must be very hard to stay switched on and be “up” every single week. It’s new territory for the playing group and a majority of us supporters. I’m finding it a little taxing myself, and am now starting to think more about when our first loss will come rather than keep riding the wave of momentum.

Tigers starting to have the stench of thinking that they can just turn it on whenever they need to. I suppose that type of arrogance only comes from sustained success, however their hunger is clearly missing and when that goes, it ain’t as easy as simply flicking a switch. Tigers time at the top is over. Only hope that I can one day say the same thing with the Dees.

Kossie should have told Jack to stick that arm he raises after every goal up his ar$e

They are very much out of vogue. Upsetting for Tommo, but I’d go down the normal graft acl route. Get his recovery right and his knee will be as good as new.

our team should be really fresh for next weeks game, given half of them didn’t seem to warrant putting in too much effort (captain included).

Jack and his [censored] foot. Next TMAC will start having problems with his toe. Gosch’s needs to be dug up and relaid, even if to make sure that it isn’t a contributing factor.
