Demon Disciple

I’d much rather see us losing playing to win, instead of trying to defend our way to victory

Need to make better ruck/mid connection

Need many of our lesser lights to shine in the second half. Time for Riv, Sparrow, Fritsch, BBB and Kozzie to get angst it more. Would be handy if Billing’s, JVR & Salem decided to play some football too.

Ah the old junk time goal rears its head again. Umpire influence noted though

One rule for Max, one rule for everyone else. Max needs to swallow some angry pills and get nasty

I think they only call for 1 metre seperation

Name a time when he has looked ‘fit’? He needs miles in the legs, may as well get them in the AFL

Does it too often. Park yourself at the fall of the ball, not 3 metres up

Let’s see if this kicking no goals strategy pays off 🤪 seriously though, what a poor way to start 😤

Has always been a deer in the headlights without his partner in crime.

Wow 18 seconds. Ouch.

Yeah, um………no

Sam unfortunately never displayed the hunger or physicality to become a reliable KPF at AFL level. One of JT’s few misses, but it is hurting us quite a bit

Yep. Port will be quick no doubt, but reckon they kamikaze run leading to fatigue later in games. If we’re smart, our smalls (particularly forwards) will be able to hurt them on the transition. Also need to watch out for Marshall, he usually reserves some of his best games for us.

Yep. May was more than serviceable in the GF, held his own very well

Out of the 2, I’d consider the HS to be more of a rag mag

I just want to hear woohoo man

Still trying to figure out that if the dogs are 1.05 favourites, why aren’t the eagles closer to the $20 mark instead of the $10? Shouldnt the dogs be 1.10? Either way, easy money. Swans also juicy odds at $1.20. #gambleresponsibly#

And some people say that umpires don’t influence the outcome of games

Don’t know how I forgot about him. His injury has taken him out of the headlines I guess. He certainly will help their cause. Gotta give it to Carlton for their accuracy today, 21.6 in front of goal. Look at where they’re taking their shots and where we tend to take ours………..coincidence I think not.

We’ll find out more about our chances over the next 3 games. The other 3 have so far shown more this year imo.

Genuine flag contenders need 2 things. A dynamite midfield and either a great forward line or backline to make up for the weaker one. Brisbane in the 2000’s had it across all 3 areas, the Hawks 3 peat had the mids and forwards, the Cats in the 2000’s had the mids and defenders, we had the mids and the defenders. Carlton certainly have the forwards to cover their weaker defence, it’s the depth of their midfield that I’m still unsure of. Outside of Cripps, who else is A-grade? They’ll need several of Acres, Newman, Cerra, Hewett to step up when the whips are cracking at the business end to salute.

Could Tasmania genuinely become the first team to 150,000+ members? There’s a fair chance I say, just to stick it up the AFL who have taken forever to rightly give them their own team.

Look at what they’ve done to the draft. 20 years ago it was a very simple process that was fun to listen to on the radio. Now that they’ve americanised it, you need to set aside 4 hours for the first round alone. It’s all big business. Aussie Rules is a great game. The AFL is doing its darnedest to ruin it.

Norths glory years of the late 90’s was only 25 years ago. Let them suffer for another 30 like most of ours did, then they may get a little sympathy from me.
