But could they block? Wouldn't this be a private deal by trac and Isaac with Colgate. Handsomely paid no doubt.

Excellent observation. Luke Darcy seems to understand its Sam's turn now and quietly revels in it. He doesn't probably need to live vicariously through his children. Daicos snr is just a bit weird. Not a bad thing but overexposure is beckoning. Maybe Luke's got just a bit more on his plate than Peter? Daicos boys are first rate anyway but in the last 1/4 It looked like Beveridge had a plan for Nick to curb influence at critical times.

Sunday forecast: Sunny light winds and 18 degrees. (10 hours of sunshine predicted)

Good point. One day Kozzie will hold one, but he's way more dangerous at ground level. I like the look of McAdam , he sure can take a mark, and when fit might be handy.

He said in his interview the love heart sign was directed to his mum who it sounded like was brought down from NT as a surprise for Steven and he knew where she was sitting in the stand. The KC connection was the heart on the Guernsey -he said. Having KC in the team song huddle arms around May and salem was priceless. Best Demon defender I've had the pleasure to watch since 1966

He stopped chasing late in last quarter on MCC wing, purely IMO from lack of fitness rather than endeavour. Think Trac's effort to chase down harley last week - thats how its done, unsuccessful but never gave up. But I can see why we recruited him and I think he has the talent. Just not fit enough yet, and we only need one player in the team to consistently fly for Mark of the Year - and Kozzie has that entitlement. BTW - what a lovely sight in the team song having young Casey arms around May and Salem. Great effort by the club in this space.

Comprehensive but close to the mark I reckon. I'm going tomorrow but won't miss live AFL for next few weeks given Dees are away and I don't find any non-Dees game engaging anymore. I used to watch a lot. Its a bit sad. But go Dees. Top 4 after tomorrow.

Its offical. Umpires do not pay holding the ball, or throwing the bal. So many ball upps as a result. After Jesse's mark fiasco I have swithed off the game. Unless Dees play umps/AFL Footy Ops dept. have stolen my enjoyment

Not quite. Mitchell handed over the keys to Kenny. Thanks very much.

Absolutely. Worried but can dream till tomorrow night .

You describe the solution well. Giants are not grabbing market in Western Sydney and never will. Gc folding likewise for the same reasons. But requires afl to admit mistakes. They are incapable of that. And a 20th team in Darwin with a population a bit over 100k is fanciful.

A wonderful Saturday morning. Blues flogged Cats flogged. Now for Dee's to win by .......

Just going by history but will be fascinating to see who might slip. I reckon cats are in trouble

10.am. then club members after that at 12 or 2 I think

I reckon final 8 is now set. With pies finally making it. Probably best 8 teams. No going to brissie for finals this year.

This week and next can see us consolidate Top 4 for now. The results so far show GWS has beaten no-one of significance- yes the Pies but they were rubbish in Round1, and same for Cats. Now both their slides commence having been over rated by the media. Our 6-3 so far would have been grabbed by many on here if offered befroe start of season. Blues game had positives in many regards but showed problems that the MC have time to seek solutions. Some players due back also wil improve. 3rd or 4th is ours if we want it badly enough, and under Max and Viney et al that will be the case.

I suspect we're witnessing in slow motion the demise of the cats vaunted midfield. Selwood gone danger at 34 and soft tissues cam Guthrie etc. Hawkins finishing up. Scott will struggle with this I suspect

Reserved seating is the issue price wise.

Plenty in Geelong have no hope of affording a seat at the new stadium. Elites only unfortunately

It's simply to avoid losing viewers who switch off. Like me. Always do this talking up the alleged drama. Keep the interest. Sheeesh

Me too wa. I think last night could be the fire the team needs to get the job done for rest of year. I'm not pollyanna but have us 3rd after round 15 on my ladder predictor and our run home could be worse. As Goody said at the presser the boys were hurting after the loss. Others watching the final 1/4 will take notice of the resilience as did vossy in his presser

I was expecting to win one of cats or blues. 6 -3 so move on as you say. Proud of this team and we had a psychological win over blues tonight that will stand us well in September. Still have forward woes though. But my effort on ladder predictor has us 3rd after round 15 and carlscum 9th

On the Couch last noted I think by Buckley and brown noted last weeks Cats game was Goodwin's finest coaching effort strategically. Lyon also noted there's no discussion now on Demons culture (thanks Doggies, MRO and other newsmakers) but was bemused that "...some..." media scribes still have an issue for "...unknown reasons..." Fantastic exposure opportuniy this week for the team. And those 5 players with less than 10 games. Great grounding for finals-like atmosphere.

Steven May said post match the predominantly demon crowd noise positively impacted last night. Kudos to your lot leading the passion. Watch frittas goal again and zone in on the individual scenes of sheer disbelief and mayhem behind the goals of many demon army members. Worth a highlight reel of its own imo

I wonder if turner has an effect. He looked like he belonged last night and imposes himself being one more big forward who's good in the air and needs a good defender. Does this assist Harrison? I think we saw our best forward set up last night. Should have had 5 more goals with improved composure.
