Good intel - agree with the wing summation: we aren’t getting enough dynamically from either winger this year. Add some speed and ball use to the wings and it would lift our game considerably, I believe. I wonder if Rivers could be an answer on the wing or maybe Kozzie, if he has the tank? In which case, a recruit like Martin would be fantastic to shore up that small tricky forward position.

They also have a fully functioning forward line!

I wouldn’t feel sorry for Maynard if he was playing for us: just like I didn’t feel sorry for Kozzie, when he collected Bailey Smith: stupid act and deserved his ban. I feel sorry for Gus, who has not only missed out on Finals but probably has to weigh up whether or not he takes the risk to play again - ever. I also feel sorry for Gus’s teammates who had to play without one of their key contributors in a QF, because of a stupid decision by an opponent. F Maynard and eff his effing club and their effing supporters. (I’m still salty, obvs 😉)

Also add to that stat, the Doggies who zig- zagged their way from outside the 8 to win their flag - by that, I mean they played the maximum games in a finals series.

Doing the Collingwood chant, as a player is being stretchered from the ground is a dog act from a dog club.

Just got back in - despite having Brayshaw taken out at the start and a patchwork forward line, we should have won. The forward line, we can’t do anything about for the next few weeks. If it’s true that JVR will miss, then Grundy will have to get a game. Regardless of how we go in the next couple of weeks, we need to recruit better ball users. I loved the fight tonight: had that game gone on for 5 minutes longer, we would have won. Also, Collingwood fans never disappoint, do they? Absolute morons on L1, goading after every goal and then 💩 ing themselves as we fought our way back into it.

I guess we have to see how TMac gets on, but with Melksham out (or possibly finishing), BBB probably retiring, Schache at least gives some back up to our already stretched forward line. A chap who sits behind me at the footy (maybe he posts on here?) has a theory that the coaching staff really rate Schache's ability and are trying to make him hungry. Not sure about that, but a theory nonetheless!

Come on Eagles - drop your bundle…don’t you want our draft picks?! 😂

Amen to that. Clarkson will want to start a winning culture straightaway. They’ve got plenty of good young players anyway, plus they still get pick 2. Edited to add: Of course, it’s a different rule for West Coast: they should just go out and lose if it gives us a shot at Reid 🤣

I agree - looking at their last few games, they are in a world of pain: shocking effort.

I think that we were ripe for the taking at the time - there was little substance to our club, so we were easy targets. The truth was that every club had done it, with Carlton possibly the worst offenders. However, we had a leadership that believed the fortunes of the club would magically turn around with high draft picks alone. The bottom line is that if you entertain the idea of losing, your culture is no good.

Where’s Binman?

I wonder if they will try to recruit Liam Henry for that position?

Bri Ghton? (It’s a silent ‘Gh’ - Welsh ancestry 😉

What about Bri Ton?

I think it’s just part of the Maccas obligations that each club has to do. I love how Clarry is just Clarry 😂

Tanking may get you better picks, but it does nothing for your culture - look how long it took us to get out of that toxic mindset.

Yep - Toby Greene 100%

Firstly, a huge congratulations to @Demonland on your 200th podcast, last week. Like a great footballer, the Demonland podcast has got better and better with time. The synergy between Andy, George and Binners is like a 3rd quarter Grand Final Demons midfield: well-oiled, oozing class and kicking goals! Really appreciate your efforts and insight on what is clearly a labour of love, with you all giving up your time and resources to provide us with the best Dees podcast around.

I must have! I’m scarred from the days of Mitchell, Hodge, Lewis et al, treating us with absolute disdain. It always seemed as though Buddy kicked plenty.

I love these! Thanks for posting @david_neitz_is_my_dad!

Absolutely love the bloke - although hated him when he used to take us apart year on year for the Hawks. What a career - always seemed to be his own man, as well. Would love to see him with a red n blue scarf on!

It is effing unbelievable. As Yze said, we will likely never see that again, from any team. Which is why we just need to barrack for our lads now - forget about the grumbling about skill errors etc, let’s just back them all the way.

🍆💦💦 But you think - why would Dogga leave?!

Exactly - don’t they know it should be shemen ?!
