I think the challenge with these incidents is that they probably are not happening in isolation… as in Pendlebury had probably been jabbed in a contest, pinched and scragged in pre-contest situation, had his feet stood on, etc… to the point he felt compelled to respond. should he then be suspended when all the prior incidents were missed… I’ve no idea re the Clarry incident, only that it’s not alway so clear.

With Bowser, MacAdam and Melky to be back into contention for AFL inclusion over coming weeks (months), the pressure for spots will grow and improve us.

I thought Woey was ok, with solid pressure and work rate throughout, the fact that it was Windsor subbed off instead of him, shows he’s progressing.

Agree, I hate the hypocrisy, it’s diminishing the game.

Pickett punch/slapped him in the stomach as the ran past, should be 1 week for stupid, unnecessary and ugly… but won’t be, and will be a fine because Pendleton got off earlier in season.

No change. McAdam seems to have played in 10 min bursts in the VFL, and none in the last, he’s still a couple of weeks off full AFL.

I think the theme at the moment and perhaps for the entire H & A season is developing and improving our rebound and forward half connection… tonight we had lots of “learnings” which will hopefully serve us well, and we doubled their score. All good. Bring on the freak’n Cats. Bunch of front running wannabes. Go Demons. ❤️🏆💙

A Kolt debut | Tholstrup gets the call up

A question for the Demonland brains trust, as Caleb develops does he have the tools to play in the middle, aka Butters or Rozee? or is he too slight...

I loved the gather round, and would welcome 2 more per-season, if they decide to go that way. I spent the Gather round with 10 old Mates at a beach house on the coast, hanging out, drinking, laughing, surfing and watching footy… was lots of fun.

If Jack Viney still ill today, is the Kolt a sneaky chance..? Hubris and in fear of offending the footy gods, Demons to get it done, 10 goal win, and never in doubt. ❤️🙏💙

Weagles need to languish for 2-3+ DECADES before any assistance is considered.

Its a shame that McAdam is underdone, as would have liked him in for Chandler (assuming he doesn't get up). May for Hore, if minimal risk of exacerbating the rib injury... Reckon minimal change with Chandler getting up and May in for Hore. Plus, while we need to respect the Crows, it feels there may be a bit of blood in the water around the Crows, and we should be aiming to hit them hard from the first and try to belt them for the full four quarters. JVR to fill his bucket. Go Dees.

We seem to be getting drawn to the contest and they’re opening us up on the outside. Curious to see what Goody does, he generally makes good adjustments at halftime… JV has been awesome.

Nibbler has been fantastic, his work to get ball to Viney, and then in defence was monumental.
