Demon Dynasty

You have to hard tag Sidey & Nick to have any chance of winning surely!?? I know Nick is a difficult option to do that but at least cover off old man Sidey

Ditto but i couldn't give a FF what type they are (life threatening excluded) or which team. I will cheers any with a nice raised tumbler o' JD Single barrel 100 Proof on the rocks

Yeh you can hear the sound dropping in and out every time as well. They're struggling to get the balance right between the volume of the studio commentary & the live sound from the ground. I assume the latter being supplied to them via Channel 7 feed? Amateurish stuff 👎🏻

If you have an arm free you have to try and dispose of the pill.... or at least make an attempt (i think!)

I'm guessing you don't wanna watch it on 7?

Vines would seem to be a straight swap for Spargs. No appearance today is a worry though. Having said that, he still might be a good chance. I don't think Vines needs a match sim hit out in order to know what's required. The other side is, the FD might be putting him in cotton wool and looking towards Monday week's block buster.

He will not be a second ruck for long Adam Thing is, are some suggesting we get him in as (almost) a like for like replacement for Max (in terms of impact / dominating the match)? I doubt there is anyone that can do that at present including LJ. On his best days yes, he is probably very influential and effective. But for mine he still does a bit too much picking and choosing when he brings that. If it's not so much about LJ then, do we just get the best available ruck around and spend the rest of our tickets on getting a brute KF that can add a few extra goals to the score alot of the time and help lock the ball i50 more often?

Yes i figured that part wouldn't count Wheelo .... cheers

McKay is also the 2nd highest rated 2nd ruck only behind Blitzavs (Champion Data).

I prefer LJ but would also take McKay if not too expensive. McKay would fill the BBB role plus a tad more on occasions imv. We need a big marking beast up forward. Fill him with kicking confidence. A new change of scenery / crew and he'd be right as rain.

Yes i was speaking to bro early on at the game and we were talking about how well he's doing so far (spit ...spit... salt over shoulder etc). Especially ability to find space/evade & the quality on his left. I commented that if we can start to see a lowering of vision when he approaches 50 and hitting up the odd lead / target in the coming weeks / months look out! ... Nek minnit

I include score involvements in my ratings, which i assume will capture this scenario (somewhat) assuming it ends up as a score and where that act sees the ball go to the eventual scorer in the chain (ie., in this case...knock ons or a HB from AJ to Sharp/Kozzy etc). CD does not include this as part of their Player Rating metrics?

Yes, job well done to everyone getting so many to that level DZ eh. Long may it continue!

Team & Player Ratings to Rnd 11, 2025 vs H&A Season 2024 After our best performance in over two seasons, our Team Rating has jumped a little from last week (to 69.88) which continues to see us on track to play finals in 2025* and presently ahead of our Team Rating in Seasons 2021, 2022 & on par with 2023. No need to mention 2024. * Subject to the successful return of Viney along with reasonably minor impact from injuries for the remainder of the season (roughly no more than about two players presently inside our top 22). The rocketeers this season so far... Turner up 19 places from his season 2024 ranking Bowey up 10 places Kozzy up 9 places * Played less than two full matches < Subbed out at least once or more > Subbed in at least once or more Stats courtesy of footwire.com & wheeloratings.com

Our +19 for contested differential inside 50 was an all time team record for the club.

Round 11, 2025 MCG - Demons vs Swans Holy Swan feathers folks. Our best Team Rating in over two seasons. That being Round 7, 2023 vs the Roos with a 78.9 A great day for all loyal Demon minions i'm sure. The only down side, the overly loud doof duff in the breaks. No doubt showing my age but kill off that rubbish and bring back cash at the G and we got ourselves a fab day out. Interesting to see that Bowey's having such a good season he copped a bit of a defensive tag from JJ. Big compliment from the oppo coach & panel. Clarry's second best day out of the year behind his fabulous 6.4 vs the Kangas in Rnd 2. His companion in crime, CP5, having a decent day out also coming in 7th and managing to keep his return to 2024 form on track with a very decent hit out on his milestone. Kozzy continuing on with his best season so far in the red & blue. Maysie's form of late a bit of a worry. Dropped away a fair bit. Maybe worth managing this week with T-Mac available? Salem coming in at No.1 and deservedly so. Not too often you see a HBer / part-time mid top the ratings... 22 effectives @ 71% efficiency, 1 contested mark, 1 mark inside 50, 1 one percenter, 6 clearances, 1 rebound, 4 inside 50s, 4 tackles, 12 score involvements (only pipped by Kozzy with 13), 4 intercepts, 402 meters gained, 3 turnovers and a goal. On to the Aints at the red centre!

Smooth criminal

We should be sitting on 65+ right now. 40 ahead. We are still lacking one, just one, dangerous Key Tall up forward. Petty doing his bit but he ain't no KF. Turner doing very well down back but i'd still like to see him up forward at some stage to see how he goes in a swap with Petty. Maybe an opportunity next week against the aints? Gee i'm lovin this doof at the G. So makes me wanna keep coming back 🤮

The Fix is on! Then again it was never off i guess

Did Howe just call his own decision ie; OOTF or was i imagining things and an ump called it?

If this was umpired like any other AFL game (ie: a game not including the filth) then Norf would be a good chance to win this

So Parker get's tackled high but the Filth get the free for HTM!? 😆

Hopefully that's a five year career ending foot injury for the turdsta

I'm not sure how that's relevant to my post but anyways.
