Nothing in it. Fine at best.

Tis good. Did we break the cats? 😃

I see Joel Smith as a forward in the same way Jeremy Howe is a forward... i.e. he's not.

Another who’s never experienced a minor premiership in 50+ years a supporter. Hoping for it to all click and our boys to reveal to the top 8, that the team at the top of the ladder is indeed the team they’ll have to beat to claim the flag this year. Shock and awe, drizzled with champagne. Go Demons.

Gee Weightman is very good.

Georgiadies injured..

Hardly, Doggies have lost their mojo...

Doggies in trouble.

Port one goal in a half... very average.

Let’s pick Alice Springs.

An amzing aspect of Jackson's arrival that's possibly flown under the radar is his impact on Gawn's game. Max is not such an old dog that he doesn't learn from the prodigy, and in the last year or two has massively developed his ground game, agility and ground ball efforts... so Jackson has indeed shifted the narrative of what a ruck could/should do.

Well done, I'm 2nd AZ next week... and nothing wrong with the Canadian Tuxedo.

Which they traded to ...? Gold/West Coast..? P.s. so Lions sent 18 (2020), 19(2020), 33 (2021) for Demons picks 25 (2020), 68 (2020), 69 (2020) and 18 (2021) If we cross out the pick 18 (a years wait) i.e. got Bowey a year early. we traded 25, 68 and 69 for 19 and 33 A good deal.

Can someone update me on how we ended up with the picks we have this year..? Please :)

Hope we play full strength and intent to take the minor premiership, as we've earnt it... ... and, statistically speaking, we more often win the actual premiership from 1st spot than any other position on the ladder... true. 😉

Do you think that Pert and the MCG have had a chat or two… 😜😃🙏

Real credit to Bowey that no one is questioning his spot in the team… clean smart and composed.

It feels like the season has turned the final bend and we’re now looking down the final straight. Our players will know quality performances will ensure a place in our finals team and nothing is guaranteed. Coaches have us peaking with a couple of final touches to add next week in TMac and Viney. Expect us to be on today. We’re in a position to make history. Go Demons.

No. Weirdly Port could jump to top spot.

Given the quality of our new kids (I.e Bowey) is increasingly difficult to find a spot in our best team for Nate… finding an appropriate moment to honour and celebrate his huge contribution to our club is a different question, and I hope we can do this well.

I thought Kozzie was ok running through the middle earlier in the season as well. Like Bradshaw on wing, his sweeping work gives us a lot of repeat 50 entries.

I’m glad we’ve hidden the “Jack Viney made me cry” thread… ? Go Jack, beat the rap!!

I don’t like the red mist or hunted theories. My theory is that against lower teams we fail to get sufficiently aroused (until too late), whereas against the top teams we are aroused with the good wins resulting. once had a tennis coach describe tennis as balance of arousal and precision, too aroused and precision (ability to execute game plan) can drop… with poor results. insufficient arousal and precision irrelevant as not working hard enough to execute at level required to win.

Always liked VDB, hope he hits his best, was good in the finals 3 yrs ago, could be a Smokey if he comes good again in time for our run to September.

The way the Saints are beating Lions is exactly how we beat teams… Great to see.
