  1. Gussy?
  2. Good changes. Bring on Sunday

    I hate the AFL. Constant tinkering of rules, fixtures and structures. Just leave the game be FFS!
  4. Good list. I loved that come from behind win against the dockers too. Austin Wonaeamerri game

    I think it can still work but the undeniable fact is that both players have played their best as a sole ruck. Will be an interesting run home for numerous reasons but I feel like this sub-plot will get alot of attention
  6. Joeboys 3 word analysis is must read demonland gold everyweek. Long may it continue
  7. Spargos form line is all to do with trying to be too cute imo. Went from being a low fuss, high effective kick - taking the first, best choice - to trying to break tackles or dummy and be super cute with his kicks. Just needs to get back to basics imo
  8. Latley I can't help but view our games through the lens of the podcast discussions and specifically Binmans fatigue hypothesis. When we were 4 goals up before we had time to blink I felt that same feeling of 'That son of a [censored] is right' - reminiscencent of when we belted Freo at Optus last year after Nostradamus Binman had called it from a long way out. The rest of the game obviously was a bit of a different story but the way we ran out the game was a massive tick. After that game it's hard not to be outwardly bullish about the rest of the season. Sorry for the rambling comment. The actual question I'm keen to ask is who comes in for Petty (who needs to get himself right). Thommo, Smith and Hibberd would all have legitimate claims
  9. Also the Melksham contested mark before Kozzy goal
  10. How good was Rivers play to rebound off HB to make that forward play that resulted in the Milkshakes mark and goal. Kid will be a recognised star of the competition soon enough
  11. Stayed off demonland all match because I couldn't bare to see the usuals potting the lads when we're were looking almost gone. What a win. This is a spring board win- confidence and momentum in spades
  12. I'd think the Grundy omission is 60% for a look at a different structure and 20% to give Max a proper full game in the ruck to find his mojo and 20% to give Brody a rest Strikes me a little like JVRs recent omission. Sure, he wasn't in hot form, but the FD took a look at something different and in doing so freshened up a key player
  13. Loved the podcast as usual, I feel myself flip flopping and siding with different panel members all the time; 'Angry Andy' firing up about us potentially not being as good as the ladder suggests Positive Binners reminding us that a 4 goal win against the 5th ranked team is a good result (after a 6 day break from the Alice no less) George giving Gussy Brayshaw a big wrap for his versatility All great shouts
  14. Lions are notoriously weaker at the G. But we're not at our best, and were still missing Clarry. Keen to hear what the pannel sees as the key to winning this match. If it's the midfield, can we afford to play Trac in the guts or is that robbing us of the most likely goal scoring option with no Fritsch. Seems to be a conundrum!
  15. Made my week. Son of a gun gets a run

    Not trying to defend the undefendable, but given the wet conditions im sure there was a direction to avoid overuse.
  17. DemonWA replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    That stings. Bad kicking is bad football
  18. DemonWA replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Going to be a hard slog all day. Hard to watch but we're winning alot of the contest atm so just need to be more clinical infront of goals
  19. DemonWA replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Keen for a solid dees win followed by a 2nd test win for the Aussies. How good is sport
  20. DemonWA replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Like the ins and outs tbh. Say what you want about Brown but he's a pure forward that can kick goals Harmes can also bob up for a couple Bowzer excellent
  21. Ben Brown breaking into the side after the bye has some 2021 vibes about it 😍
  22. Lots of doom and gloom here. Feels like a 40 point loss but in reality it was pretty close. If we played them on the wide expanses of the G and/or on a dry night we might have won. Important to win next week but was always going to be a tough assignment. We miss clarry
  23. Lost a scrappy dog fight. Not usually one to pot ANB but his fumble was a real sliding doors moment.
  24. Yeah, I guess there's no analysis to my observation other than the 'vibe'. Won't use the 'eye test' descriptor incase people get triggered haha.
  25. Interestingly I see Port as the leading contender (noting its only June). Remind me alot of us in 2021 - everything is seemingly going their way, they play a good brand of footy and have strong mix of youth and experience across the ground.
