Demon Dynasty

In the time this thread was opened and now something must have gone down as his share price appears to have grown exponentially of late! Corporate raider or such? Some of the early page 1 forecasts were a bit gloomy to say the least.... now its all blue sky. Hmm ...a little over indulgence and exuberance about 🤔 Might be time to short this one!

Yes possibly for JJ but JJ was ok as well. Tough calls ahead this week. More mid field/on ball minutes for Kozzy ups our chances of converting with that last kick inside and general skills / clean looks forward of center as we saw last night. With Chin up and about it allows us the luxury of playing Kozzy in this role. Makes us a much more dangerous prospect in general. Nice move from the coach / FD. Let's hope they keep it going! Would be crazy to change this set up, injuries aside.

Nice LH Note: The AFL's love child (Carlton) is now in year 11 residing at AFL's boarding school. Rumour has it he has had to repeat a number of years, however officials from the AFL are still confident he will graduate very soon and are happy to continue his long running scholarship, free tuition etc. P.S. His older sister (Geelong) graduated last year.

Hasn't played senior footy for a while but was expecting a bit more from Shak tonight. Especially seeing as he already has 73 matches under his belt and bobbed up a few times at Casey recently (some nice contributions without setting the world on fire). Not sure two stay at home forwards is the best mix either. Yes i realise JVR roams a bit higher at times. But for the main part the two of them are two peas in a pod in terms of the approx areas they seem to like to roam. Reckon we need a leading forward like BBB or Macca with JVR playing deeper out of the square. That's not to say Shak wont be given another week. The brains trust might want to take another look? However, with that in mind, Shak would most likely need to improve on tonight's performance quite significantly to retain his place from there. I am also scratching my head to work out what it is (weapon/s wise) that he brings to the table? Certainly didn't seem to show anything special in this regard tonight from what i saw.

Both arms were initially free thats how he got the ball

Not really he made no genuine attempt

Should be on the entire quarter

Keep Kozzey on the ball pls for this quarter. Build that tank!!!

This last term should be a blood bath ....although the umps are out to limit the damage as much as they can

Razor what a disgrace. Watches on and allows less experienced umpire under his watch to pay that putrid free to Zeibal!! Penalising player for playing in front who only had eyes for the ball (Schache)

May was on the improve from last week imv. Keep in mind he was on one of the best forwards on his day. And Jack was up & about

Lingers stick that handball son

Roohey very good again tonight but opening there for Macca or BBB if they step up tomorrow for Schache

And improve our last kick inside 50. Way too much high balls to the same spot. Change angles around the arc then weight some nice kicks to leading forwards on the fat side or coming up the guts.

The one area i'd like to see us work on in this last bit is a bit more pressure inside 50

Lovely stuff Nibbler!!!

We look so much better when Kozzy starts in the middle and on the ball for a while

Be pretty unlucky to miss. Form at Casey's been a notch above so far

Toby Bedford.... mark & goal straight up for GWS's first

A big Brodie head & a big red head will tend to do that!! Im just behind where you are so if you're floundering ive got some WCW tonic in a hip flask! P.S. don't tell her i said that! 😬

Where do we look for you after the first 2 minutes DP?

Had to have his left knee (don't hold me to which one but pretty sure it was left lol) cleaned out.
