monoccular

Two talls out, Preuss did well at Casey. Who will relieve Max in the ruck? Spargo?

How can anyone ever give >100%?

Any updates on this guy? Is he a genuine prospect?

Are you referring to the top eight draft picks? All that said, it is not evidence of tanking. Experimentation, on top of poor coaching doesn’t equate to tanking. beelzebub - are you a barrister? Pity you didn’t come out with that brilliant defence treatise when we were in the gun circa 2010.

No .... probably two?? Maybe he will be chomping at the bit to join us?

Love your positive spin, DS.

Frosty - sometimes wrong, but never in doubt! And never boring.

Why would he come from a serious premiership contender to a soft underachieving club -- unless he is one who loves to take on an enormous challenge? would, perhaps, if he managed to play a full season.

I remember watching him coming into the game when we were affiliated with Sandringham. I used to watch from behind the bench and saw that he was such a tough competitor, and was thrilled when he got picked for the seniors. I love him to bits, and he has been a genuine club legend through incredibly tough times, but sadly I feel the game has started to pass him by, and it may be in his best interests were he to retire at year's end. It would be more sad to see him dwindle off and play his career out at Casey. Jack Viney is a slightly different story - hugely competitive (as is Nathan) and also hard as nails, but my thoughts are that he would be in his and the club's best interests to relinquish what really does appear to be the added burden of captaincy (probably to Max or possibly Tom) and concentrate on getting his body right and regaining his competitive beast self. It would take an enormous amount of courage (which he has) and also a lot of insight (which I am less certain he has) to do so.

Very sad to see another Demon legend pass on - condolences to his family. I remember him well as part of a Demon team that one could always rely on to put in a strong performance, and indeed expected them to win each week and each year. It must sadden him (and his team mates) to see how far we have fallen. RIP Bluey.

Absurd. Why would we as we are locked in to 17th? Anyway, sadly we don’t need to.

We could trade for an injured star defender - would that be novel? Third time lucky?

Meanwhile Redleg, I would like to offer my thanks to those who have gone to the trouble of posting. Looking forward to the detailed summary.

Have Freo thrown in the towel? Dissent in the ranks re Ross Lyon and his style?

So are we going to end up looking better, or rather, less bad, than GW$$, EssUndone and Norf this round anyway?

Will there be pressure on them to replace the Pharmacist?

The maggots are as intimidated at Kardinia Park as they are in Perth. As you point out, two goal turnaround in a low scoring game makes a huge difference weak kneed.

Maggots missed an absolutely blatant block right in front to Zeibel then rebound goal to Cats. Clearly [censored] scared to make the obvious call at the Cattery.

Dunkley is carving up the Pharmacist’s boys. Can we get him via brother and brother ?

Humblest of apologies your lordship I meant to ask chookrat

One more full preseason will surely knock that out of him.

Are you referring to the red and blue one? Or the white one that we seem to be using on a regular basis. "Its a grand old flag .... the flag of the ..... white"

I wondered what this was about .... then I saw the poster's name and released it was just one more fragment of his negative life. Thanks Corey and good luck with whatever you do next.

...... but other than that he has some good traits ?
