POSTGAME : Rd 18 vs Port Adelaide
Well said Dee. I agree all the way. A lot of posters don't appreciate that all AFL teams can pose a problem. Ask the teams that played North Melb in the last two weeks. We are on a par with this time last year and with a better percentage.

Vale Noel McMahen
Sad to hear the mighty Noel McMahen has departed this earth. Noel was a tough, skilful defender and just charged through packs as if they were tissue paper. He was fast , strong and had a very high knee lift which made him a frightening sight. Get a bump from Noel and you would know about it. Ask Collingwood's Bobby Rose who was completely but fairly flattened by our intrepid captain. What chance did the opposition have with the dynamic Donny Williams on the other half back flank. So glad you got to see the Demons take out another flag. RIP mate.

Carlton Draft: Nathan Jones at Port Arlington
Portarlington will need a few Nathan Jones Im afraid. They currently sit last on the ladder with zero wins and a percentage of just 16%.

Gus the Gymnast
How the camera lies. In this photo Gus appears to be standing on the shoulder of James Harmes. His foot appears to be behind Harmes head even though Gus is standing on the ground. My eyes deceiving me? Couldn't get the photo to download but it can be found in the 23-9 section dealing with the free kick imbalance v Adelaide by Blistering.

We received more frees in each of the finals games because simply, we had superior umpiring standards.

One little dot makes all the difference. Joys of punctuation!

Is Luke Jackson still growing?
Looking at the official photo of our 2021 Grand final team, it seems to me (my eyes anyway) that Luke appears to be clearly taller than BB. Now BB is listed as being 200cm tall while Luke is listed at 199 cms. Both are standing up straight with heads up. Have a look and see if anyone will agree with me on this one. Lets hope Luke has a Grand final performance in the absence of our champion Max. Go Demons, show us tonight your true form.

WEST COAST an ALLY for us?
With senior players returning and form improving, the Eagles could help our cause to return to the top and hopefully knock off a few of our rivals. They were competitive enough on Saturday to indicate that upsets were possible. Since finals are out of the question I hope they win all their remaining games. Don't believe I wrote that, as living in Perth I DETEST the weagles and would normally want them to lose all games. Yes, I do have one red and one blue eye.

CHANGES: Rd 15 vs Brisbane
Was Bowey really that bad last match to be dropped? From what I saw first three quarters he was doing his usual safe job. Does he really deserve the chop?

My 3 word player analysis v Collingwood
I have only watched the first half. ANB was excellent and Bowey was his usual beautiful kicking to a team mate. They must have gone bad in the second half.

CHANGES: Rd 15 vs Brisbane
Yeah, A team that wins ten out of ten would have to be a ranked as a 10 to 14 side. Strange comment.

My 3 word player analysis v Collingwood
With those comments Joeboy one would think we lost by 120 points. You do react badly to a loss. Happens all the time. Only one player received a positive comment and that was for one quarter only.

TEAMS: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
Jordan omitted? Are you for real? You are joking.

TEAMS: Rd 13 vs Collingwood
Not so funny. Mitch did a far better job than Ben.

CHANGES: Rd 12 vs Sydney
Couldn't do any worse the BB yesterday could he? He's lively and moves well.

CHANGES: Rd 11 vs Fremantle
Suspensions seem to be influenced by injuries inflicted. Thomas dumped Langdon forcibly and was free kicked for a dangerous tackle but not regarded as a reportable offence.Compare this tackle by Chandler. Was it really any more vicious ? What if Langers had sustained a punctured lung or fractured ribs would there have been a different outcome for the tackler? Inconsistency of the highest order. BTW I didn't either tackle was reportable. Just good red blooded tackles.

If you had your photo taken at the footy ...
I would love to be sitting next to our much shown GF friend who reflected what most of us were thinking after Petracca's beautiful dribbling goal to give us a 2 goal break on the Bullies.

CHANGES: Rd 11 vs Fremantle
Great news indeed. However, if Ed is feeling the effects of the heavy tackle maybe a weeks rest wouldn't be a bad idea. I"m sure though that Ed would want to play against his old club. Over to you selectors. Viney in if fully fit. Maybe Mitch Brown for Tmac if he has an injury. I think he would offer more than Sam W. imo.

CHANGES: Rd 11 vs Fremantle
In this report on Salem training it mentioned that Ed Langdon had a light program after his crushing tackle against North. Surely he wouldn't be even there if he has broken ribs?

Viney Hamstring Soreness
Jack Viney has hamstring soreness and has been replaced by Luke Dunston. Chance for the ex saint to show his colours.

ANB on SEN
I have always loved ANB's attitude and selfless approach to his beloved Demons. Works so hard week in and week out. Such a leader as our unofficial forwards coach. It is quite obvious he is highly respected and regarded by his teammates. Maxy , in his book was full of praise for Nibbler finishing with the words, "You don't win flags without guys like nibbler." Highest praise indeed and well earned. Thank you Alex.

Chandler Tackle
Looked very deliberate did Ryan's action. Should have been at least two weeks. Chandler hard done by. Thats how you are supposed to tackle. We are not playing netball here. No offence girls, Netball is a great game.
