Demon Disciple

We’ll need big Maxxy to get back and help our defence.

Lower the eyes going forward. Maybe have a defensive forward on Sicily, or even a decoy forward to try and drag him away from the ball.

Hawks & Mitchell will wants an early scalp to keep the wolves at bay. They’ll be up for this game and we need to be too. Hit them hard early, or their belief will grow. Belief and doubt are infectious amongst youth, so snuff out their belief and play hard and tough football to lessen their appetite.

A 2nd Kozzie running around in our team? yes please!

The family club……..pfft

All aboard

We actually did that twice in the one quarter……..iirc

Umpires: “Hold my beer”

As of this moment both the game and the filth’s premiership defence is over.

where’s that [censored] chant now?

Wait until he fills out his body 🤩

Petty to play on ball and catch up in his fitness perhaps,

Don’t know what would be better, Seeing the filth go to 0-3, or see the end of ‘Ross the Boss’ 2.0 get nearer?

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.
