Jackson also looks more likely to win a clearance

Hey @Little Goffy where did you find that stat?

Our goal kicking is the issue tonight. We’d be well up if we kicked straight.

Free kick Hawthorn in full flight. 21-9 at 3/4 time, Swans getting murdered by the umpires

Left field thought but could we move Salem to the wing for a week? He definitely has the tank and works hard both defensively and offensively. Arguing against myself we need our small defenders at the top of their game next week and Salem is pivotal there... Jetta is past it. How has Lockhart been performing at Casey? I’m just not a Baker fan. Maybe it’s Jones.

We look a long way from a top 4 team let alone #1 right now

If Adelaide can slice through us like that imagine what the Bulldogs could do. But I’ll back us to tighten up from here.

And is the highest ranked genuine tall on that list. Huge start to the season.

I spent the game in the Swannies sponsors box. Wore my Demons gear proudly and pumped with the result despite the grind. That was a HUGE win for this team. Top 4 side, close game, tested until the final siren. 8-0 is unbelievable. So proud of the boys. This is a new feeling, I haven’t enjoyed footy this much in 39 years. I also won 2 hampers and had a good chat to Dees alumni Luke Williams (for those who remember him) so a pretty great night ?

I wish there was an “I hope so” emoji

They got 11 goals from two players who were absent against us, plus they missed Danger. With Thommo out they’d definitely be a scarier proposition now, although the Swans handled them last week. What an interesting season!

Or Fritsch gets suspended... is that any chance?

Fair play.

I tend to agree that Melk should’ve been the one making way.

Classic case of getting to far ahead. There’s still 4 quarters of footy to play before we sit top of the ladder. Hope the team shows up meaning business.

Cats putting their season right back on track here.

Also centre clearance carnage. Total smashing.

For anyone watching, how was that not a throw by Macrae?

Hopefully he never plays another game in the seniors. Tough as nails and gives his all but is just not smart or disciplined.

The ridiculous over the top reaction to Weideman’s first game back from injury is so unnecessary. It’s one quiet game after a layoff in bog ordinary conditions where delivery to the forward line was poor. He was a 2-goal-per-game forward last year until right near the end of the season. This six year wait nonsense seems to completely overlook his most recent body of work. And the irony of the same posters banging in about Weideman also suggesting Majak might be the second coming of Wayne Carey is so hilarious. I’d rather Weid out on the G than Majak any day. Give him a couple of weeks to settle back in.

For everyone moaning about Kelli Underwood last week, have a listen to BT and and James Brayshaw. She’s no different from anyone else calling the game.

In my view, confidence and momentum are two of the most important variables in footy. I’d rather our team celebrate the wins and build that belief from earlier in the season and see where that carries them, than disallow the team to sing the song after a win and take the overly negative view. That doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be an honest review of areas to improve, and a focus on remedial action during the week. I just think the psychology of belief is powerful and we should let the good times roll in that regard. Might also help us to get a couple of important players to ink new deals.

Stop dropping sitters in defensive 50 ffs

Pickett!!!

Seems to be an unpopular opinion, but I agree with much of this. I think Mitch Brown has played a role when required but with Ben Brown coming in and TMac staying, I expected him to be an immediate delist. That he isn’t means that we have one less place for a runner which is even more significant in a year of declining list spots. Personally, I find the fact that we couldn’t find a spot for Tom Phillips but are holding onto this type of player totally baffling.
