At Least I Saw a Flag

Re Adelaide players who targetted Max. That filth McHenry copped an absolute belting last week during the showdown. Karma? I'm watching today's match at the Sporting Globe in Richmond. As per every other match this season, hope the Dees just get the job done. Shame about Salem. Who will be the main distributor on the backline? Maybe Rivers?

Not sure if anyone will agree with this. I think that the new kick in rule has been a not insignificant part of the team's improved performance this year. Until this year, the team's kick in strategy from behinds (if you could call it a strategy) was appalling. Other teams seemed to easily move the ball out of FB to the centreline with little trouble, whereas the Demons always strugged. The additional distance allowed to the full back to run before kicking the ball has allowed the boys (usually May or Salem) to transition the ball to the centreline without too much trouble. This has pretty much fixed the problem of past years.

Memo to players .... don't cough up goals in the first and/or last minute of quarters.

Such a shame GWS couldn't get the job done against Richmond.

Yes ... I should hang my head in shame. BTW you are one of my favourite posters.

I know I should wash my mouth out, but it would be more favourable to the Dees if the filth beat Swans this arvo. Swans fighting for a top 4 position whereas the filth have no hope of making the top 4, let alone the top 8. They are a genuine top 16 contender though.

Trac won't play against the Blues.

Weiderman will definitely come into the side as his replacement.

He has his 'rests' during matches !!! ?

Did Kozzy and LJ get nominated last year?

(re Spargo). I was in the 'too small, too slow, can't kick far enough, can't tackle, no tricks' camp. Happily the football department didn't share this view. He certainly has developed into a good player. In particular his tackling has improved out of sight. He is also a smart player. Glad to be wrong !!!

Wonder if he still likes swimming ... and there was something else (hmm, what was it?).

Watching the highlights I thought that Tmac threw the ball to Trac to set up his goal.

H ... love your posts !!!

I particularly hate it when one of the midfielders gets the ball from the centre ball up (bounce down) and does a cutesy handball to a teammate under pressure ... turnover ... and away they (the opposition) go.

What's wrong with Cripps?

Well done filth scraping a win over Norf. The filth can now be regarded as a genuine top 16 side contender !!

Sparrow ... intimidates the opposition? No mean feat considering he didn't play.

No ... she had a lovely voice. No bickering with her husband. I think I talked to her more than her husband. I love her. (Twas on level 2, MCC reserve.)

I'm an old bloke ... in my sixties. I was sitting with a mate. On the other side was a woman who was about my age. Demons supporter. She was sitting with her husband. She was very charming .... apparently her husband doesn't rate her comments. Not sure why not. She added to my enjoyment of the match.

Norf are excruciating. So bad. Where is the Norf that played a great (first) half against the Dees last week?

Richmond good, Jee-long terrible. I'm predicting carnage. I hate Lynch, Reiwoldt and Nankervis. I hate Cotchin too. (Yes, I know he's not playing.) And Hardwick of course.

MFCSS alert ..... Demons looking really good, possibly even real chance to win the flag. Covid goes crazy. 2021 season abandoned ... ?

$2,000 normally, but 1 week cos the charged player was with MFC, i.e. not Jee-long, filth ...etc

A few random comments ... May will play on Franklin, Hibbert to Papley. The Club clearly see Petty as a long term key defender. So, despite Tmac being a better short term option, it's important to get games into Petty. Despite the love for Weid, realistically he's had very few good matches. I'm surprised the club hasn't tried him as a backman. They're obviously not going to do it now!! As if BBB will be dropped after one match. Apart from the fact that he has plenty of runs on the board, the club pretty much has a policy of not dropping players after one match. I don't think that Baker will make the grade. Hope I'm wrong. The team really missed Viney's grunt at the start of the match v Norf. Apparently Sparrow is a similar type of player. If so, he should probably come into the side. I think ANB will hold his place. Harmes is pretty much on the outer. (I know he's coming back from injury.) Poor Jetts is pretty much cooked, and I doubt that he will get too many more games. Same with Vanders, and Smith. I don't think Bradke will make the grade. Hope i'm wrong. I doubt that Daw will play more than one or two AFL games for the season, unless Max goes down with injury. Gus won't be dropped anytime soon. Jones ... hmm, not sure. Is anyone still reading this?
