But yes good luck to him indeed, I hope he does well

With all the hype about his training and then getting a game against the dogs. I was expecting one to watch during that game. Was a fair bit disappointed, expected he might get a game early in the season, but game 1 that we must win. The selectors are very brave,

Last half of the final quarter very important

Again good boy Omac

Seeing Scot from marketing with Richmond makes me want to barrack for Carlton

Good boy Omac

Cobwebs and class so yes they should win but the blue boys are having a good dip

Not sure I expect much on Saturday but if we show the endeavour of the blues this early I think we will win easily after the show 4 quarters I expect us to start slow then ru right over the top

Blue baggers playing well

For no real reason I picked these tigers bulldogs demons geelong hawks lions port giants sun now I usually get them more wrong than right. Apologies to Arthur C

DD36 thanks for all this, don’t get to listen to G and T, does Max get help from , the coach or other ex captains, or instructors who guide him through the early years of captaincy. Not many AFL players are rocket scientists indeed some are barely articulate. They can play great footy perhaps but that does not automatically lead to the responsibility of leading a group of players. I know personally I can barely lead a horse to water. Hope the club provides some sort of structure come on Demons. And happy equinox in a couple of days

Ditto. But I can’t get down, so it’s down to the local and I hope some other poor sod will be watching. So we can cheer or cry foul. Go you mighty Demons !!

That’s a big moth !

Its not up to the supporters rather its up to the management of the club to incorporate the supporter base within the club.

You must only look at Spargo with a blue eye. At crucial times in our scoring. He is the one who links it all together. By being in the right place at the right time. yes he is small, never going to take mark of the day, can’t kick 60 m , but IMV is a very important part of the forward line. in any case it does not matter what we think, if the selectors choose him or not thats their decision. an interesting few days coming up. I hope we all enjoy more wins than losses this year and can put our views as we think fit. Come on Dees !!

I think your wrong, The players are angry so it will be a 7 or 8 point loss, So they don't feel too upset when they put their hand out... an honourable loss

I don't know anywhere near Goodwin when it comes to football. I am a plodder, playing and understanding. I read others opinions on here and feel smarter by far. But.. I get more upset, during a game, after a game, than I think Goodwin does. (its his job, its my passion, apart from my darling). I would really love to have a coach that obviously shared a passion for our club, and actually showed it. There should be "learnings" whether you win or lose, but that's not why you play. Practice match or for the 4 points . You play to win and feel great for the next few days, until the next time you get learnings. Hate it when I think the other sides think we are soft cox, as that Carlton player surmised. Probably why I liked Rod Grinter and Aaron Vandenberg. Come on Dees get angry if we get behind in a game.

Durif blended with Syrrah much better than Pinot.

Was glad yesterday that this is March and we had a number of best 22 out, and we could have a look at the next lot. Well I did not see much to enthuse about in the first half except we were not "out" of the game. That was probably normal. Then came the t urd quarter, and That was probably normal, as well. Go missing at least one quarter. No point in watching the last, no one else was trying, for both sides. If we do better than 8th spot, it will be a big turnaround on yesterday. Our bottom 6 players are just not good enough. I will wait for the senior players to come back, but I am not holding my breath. How about nominating two or three of the running players to be the winger and compete for it but not pick or train for any other position. Would that work ?

We have plenty of areas to improve and no need to worry which or any of our recruits will be in the round 1 side glad it’s March!!

Best half forward line in the hole competition, absolutely no doubt

If you have neither then go to the local pub and watch it. Foxtel or Kayo Should of realised I could go to the pub, thank you keeps me on the straight road. Just like a real game , Go Dees

OK not a terrible team, some interesting selections to watch. BUT that's the question how do we watch it, if we do not have foxtel or whatever 3 hours away from Melbourne, can I still watch it ?? Have looked but no real clues anyone, please.........

Are they both being telecast, I have a little difficulty driving for 3 hours to get there.
