Demon Disciple

There will only ever be one Robbie Flower. The way he ran in full flight……….it’s as if he was floating or running on air. It was as graceful as running could ever look.

It's not just about last year's draft period, but several leading up to it as well. Sure there is BBB & TMAC (both 31 & injury prone) at one end of their careers, Petty (injury prone) and JVR (20) are at the other. We have no KPF's who can consistently be relied upon on our list in the 24-30 age bracket. That is where we are lacking and it shows. You say we shouldnt throw stupid money, i counter with how much a premiership is worth to you? Our list is only going to seriously contend for a year or 2 more with the likes of Gawn, May, Trac and Viney in their peak or getting towards the back end of it. We're then going to either need a small or full re-build depend on just how good our depth and development is. I say we should have a huge shot at Ben King. JVR can be our CHF, with Kozzie, Fritta, Chandler and hopefully McAdam all roving the crumbs or playing on lesser forwards. Strike while the iron is hot.

Yep. Chalk and cheese 2009 vs 2024

Welcome back Kozzie. We missed you ❤️

Our midfield needs to defend better, give our backs a chop out.

4 umpires, 4 different points of view

Looks like the elastic band has finally snapped with the Magpies. 2 full seasons of playing the way they did was always going to be unsustainable, unfortunately they managed to get a flag during that period. Hunger and momentum are hard things to hold on to, we’ve seen us have it and then lose it. We need to get it again quick, or our window will indeed close.

He ain’t one yet. Definitely has the potential, but he is still quite Green. Also, given his stage of development, he shouldn’t be expected to be a quality KPF yet (that he is showing signs is wonderful indeed). He is still just a kid, and that he is being asked by the coaches to practically spearhead our forward line trying to cover up their failures of attaining a more senior KPF presence is in no way his fault………more their desperation. JvR is showing promise no doubt, but he is not an A-grader yet.

Agreed, gutsy.

Carlton did everything they could to lose that one, the umps sure helped them out in the last, though the Tigers got the rub of the green early in the game. Carlton’s defence looks very suspect, but god Curnow and McKay really show the value of having 2 quality KPF’s. We don’t even have 1.

Blues run forward of the ball way too much, Tigers get them on the counter when being a tad more defensive would help the Baggers (Not Goody level defensive). Tigers hanging in when they shouldn’t be, Carlton too busy thinking they are world beaters.

i dont deal in hypotheticals, only pessimisms.

Would we be even considering him if his surname was not Van Rooyen?

Gotta hand it to the blue baggers. Coming back from such a deficit up at the Gabba. It was a great win.

Is not up to it.

How about we kick on non-preferred when trying to goal? Can’t be worse and it’s something different

Our small forwards are next to useless. Our best is also being wasted trying to get him to play more mid minutes. we should play a 4 man offence to at least give space for our forwards to lead in to.

Gus needs to be there at the front of the race as the boys come onto the ground. That should fire them up 🔥🔥🔥

Wouldn’t get too upset………..round 1 begins next week after all

As much as i want to see another flag and remain relevant in the competition, i equally now want us to find a permanent home for the next 30+ years, so all we then need to focus on is football.

they may as well make it touch football 😠

Hello darkness my old friend

With a surname like that, surely his nickname has to be Korda.

yeah I doubt that. The Libs are doing a great job on their own remaining irrelevant. Why would Labor interfere with a burning building when they want it demolished anyways?

You only say that because of the 2021 GF
