I say out Demon Jack 16. So you looked at the stats column and determined Jones had a bad game?? That is ignorance at it's best. Did you actually watch the game? Did you notice that Jones was playing a tagging role and did exceptionally well on Pearce? Oh that's right. The game was on a bit late. Past your bedtime...

Welcome to the Demonland forums troll Confused.

Bohdan.

Well Titan Uranus

And Maric an emergency.... DB keeping him motivated which is great.

Ricky Bobby is a fantastic contested mark

On a slightly different not, did anyone else have their heart in their mouth when Joel juggled the mark in the last 2 mins of the Port match?? He looks so lacksadaisical and didn't have his eyes on the ball. I was sure he was going to drop it........but then he held it.

Wasn't that Daniher's plan? A lone ruckman. That's why Jolly left and why we got rid of SImmonds.....and why Jamar took so long to develop!!!

The reality is it could happen to any one of our clubs. I see the headline "AFL sex scandal" and hope that when I turn the page its not Melbourne. No gloating around this one, please.

LOL

If you think Bartram is holding the team back you have very little knowledge of footy. He is up there with the highest disposal efficiency in our team, plays a tagging role every week and has re-captured his stellar first year form. And if you need to get real if you think that all teams have 22 a grade players every week. Bartram is a good honest trier that does a good job each week. Dunn is the same. Stiff to be dropped IMO. (and BTW you could learn how to spell his name correctly if you really think of yourself as a supporter who knows a bit about his team) Does a good tagging job most weeks and can be quite an offensive player at times. Probably doesn't justify his high ranking but is solid nonetheless.

It's actually pretty good. Agree its the first time Telstra has it right. Also good to select the frees or goals. You can watch them without all the pay in between. Watching the frees in particular gives am interesting perspective.

All good thx for the replies.

Do we get a return out of that?? Don't know what we would have got from in Melbourne but the capacity of TIO stadium is apparently around 14,000. And yes we got plenty of community goodwill but I'm wondering if anyone knows whether we made a profit or loss?

I picked it - back spasms for Spencer!

I have spoken with DB personally on a number of occasions about Garland. That's where he has stated it.

I have heard DB on several occasions say GArland will play up fwd this year. Not sure what he's waiting for though....

Great news thx for the update.

The other stat of note is that in three of their wins they have come from behind at 3/4 time.

Port are the 3rd worst team for opposition hitouts (ie other teams murder them in the ruck). Could explain the selection of Spencer. To get Port worried about height. The forecast however is for a wet game. Spencer could get a late back spasm I feel.

14th in least opposition hitouts. That means their rucks are shizen and hopefully Jamar has a blinder.

To quote that famous Gough Whitlam line: "He's a Country Member" Response "Yeah, I remember"

Forecast for Saturday. Shower or two. 25 deg to 32 deg. Humidity is between 75 and 80%. Hot and steamy. Will this suit Port better or the Dees?? Port were run over in the last quarter by the Cartel so maybe there is a query about their fitness??

I've said it before - Sylvia is lazy. Watch the work he does (very little) when we don't have the footy. He strolls around the centre corridor. Talent to burn but won't run.

We got 14k to a Sunday twilight game (4:40pm) in arctic conditions. NO-ONE says that the Cats on the same weekend at 2pm on a Saturday at their HOME GROUND against a Victorian team only drew 15,000!!!!!! It peeves me that the focus is on us when others have crap crowds and our circumstances with scheduling etc is much worse.
