They've brought in Darcy Fort, is this a first instance of a team changing their selection to try and match Gawn/Grundy? Or would he have played anyway and just wasn't fit last week?

Everyone except Kozzie 🤣

Agreed I have the same feeling I did in 2021 after we ran over the Dogs and Lions in successive weeks. Last year was more hope than belief, albeit hope infused with the belief from 2021 but the team look unbelievable this year. A long way to go but I'll be shattered if we let it slip this year.

Remember we basically swapped Jack Watts for Fritch
Dr. Gonzo replied to Deemac's topic in Melbourne Demons
I wasn't, Grundy because of the contract and Hunter because of his off field stuff. I wasn't dead against them but I wasn't enthused when I heard about it. I know others in the same boat. -

It's a good reminder to have faith in the current Admin/FD. People were up in arms when we traded out Watts, people weren't happy when we lost Hogan but ended up with May. People (including myself) weren't happy when we picked up Grundy and Hunter but they're looking like inspired decisions. The current FD has earnt our faith and repayed it several times over.

I'm always confident when he lines up for the opposition - was shattered when he was a late withdrawal for the SF last year.

Nope!

The first language of football is lies 🤣

Wow if true then surely Smith is in concussion protocol and must miss a week? Their doctors are also negligent for not taking him off for 20 minutes for concussion test on Saturday.
-
what is an "un-need" act
-
He didn't knock him out though. Any act on a football field could potentially result in injury, it is a 360 degree full contact sport. If Kozzie knocked out Smith then I would agree 4-6 weeks - but he didn't which suggests he didn't actually get him in the head.
-
Who is that now that S Hocking and B Scott are not there? Have they replaced that role yet? Is it Gil??
-
There is definitely a case to appeal, a proper defence would tear that ti shreds. How can they determine potential for injury for starters? Should be appealing high impact down to low and settle for medium.

I don't think the Dogs are a fellow contender, a genuine middle of the road team with that defense. Crowd was 48k last night, for those there what do you think the split was? On tv the crowd looked good and seemed like we were far louder than they were. Our games often look bad on tv because our supporters are all in the northern stand but the southern stand seemed pretty packed last night on level 1 and 2.

Pickett's was worse than Buddy's, Pickett left the ground and hit Smith after he had disposed of the ball. Buddy was following the ball and ran through Collins on his way. Don't think Franklin gets a suspension.
-
I think that was just captured at the right (wrong?) moment - seems it was just part of the push and shove but the pic makes it look like he flushed him on the jaw.
-
Didn't see Franklin's but I can see Pickett getting anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks especially with the current climate of concussion legal actions against the AFL. If he gets off it would be a miracle. Smith playing on helps the cause but the AFL won't like seeing hits like that replayed through the week and will want to send a message that we are serious on potential head injuries.

Lucky us we're used to the ridiculous wind from training out at Casey 🤣
-
Wish I could be there tonight, hopefully the Demons get off to a great start of the season. If we lose its not the end of the world but still, I'd like to win. Go Demons!

So much wrong in one post 😂

Did it actually screenshot the ticket though? That message came up for me last year too but scanning in with the screenshot worked a treat. It helped a lot because I usually by between 6-10 tickets for my family and take screenshots which I send them through messenger so they can get in and never had an issue. Just make sure the brightness is up on your screen when scanning in otherwise it may not pick it up.

Congrats mate - already signed up as a Baby Demon I presume

Who tipped Richmond? ROFL
-
Exactly! May, Salem, Viney, Fritsch all important/automatic players and big outs but look at who we still have in. Oliver, Petracca, Gawn, Brayshaw, Petty, Lever, Kozzie, TMac, Grundy, Langdon, Hunter. Still a formidable side to front up against.
