Demon Dynasty

Yes 100% there Lou. He really was the icing on a very nice cake during 2018

Hannan straight in as the sub for Keith. Tackle ... free kick. Looks to be in ripping condition

Absolutely! Uncle's a D'land legend 💪🏼

I would too after a few more weeks of team mates surving up this rubbish

Freo making them look a bit better than what they might be me thinks DP. Our Freo compensation looking better by the week.

Black & Decker huh. Never picked Uncle as a "getting your hands dirty - DIY" sorta guy!

Any reason you photoshopped the over-sized glass of Shiraz out that uncle was chugging in the right hand there DC??

Yes 100% Fm. There are also nuances that might be being asked for Sparrow that aren't being asked and / or expected from JJ and visa versa that we aren't privy to.

I think either of them (JJ & Sparrow) are very good on their day playing a somewhat similar role but in their own fashion. JJ may have taken his game up quite significantly vs his form from last season if last week is anything to go by but probably need a few matches to really gauge if this is more than just a one off out-of-the box. If i'm Goody i'd be wanting to hang on to both and be giving them both a decent run rotating them in blocks with clear advice that they aren't competing for the one role/posi. They're both valued and we want them both but that they're selection will be based not only on form (VFL/AFL) but also on match ups / game day roles and needs. Nothing wrong with freshening players up in season either. These fellas play a tough posi where they'll be getting banged up quite a bit. Not saying they wont at VFL level either but maybe not to the degree at senior level. There is also no shame playing with the VFL squad. Its a super strong squad at the moment and many learnings can be passed on and learned at that level also then brought into the seniors when the call up is given.

56 this is exactly where you want to be as a top line club. A solid 22/23 that's hard to budge and even some super solid players are struggling to stay even when they pony up and put in a great performance. What message does this send to the usual 22/23 you think?

For sure ... However, JJ made a massive case to stay last week. Albeit only one week to go on but was quite a come back game. Stats from last week also indicate same...

Reckon if they were 'all in' on Petty forward this would be the case (Tomo over Macca) That Macca offers a potential dual option of playing down back or forward is a bit of a tell here. Is Tomo's potential for getting his next call up (bar injury) is in a funny way somewhat dependent on how successful (or otherwise) the Petty forward experiment goes from here?

Tough call on JJ but them's the breaks when getting close to a full list with many in good form. He will work his way back in no doubt but might have to be patient. Where's Harmes at? Top bloke and been so loyal / consistent with his week in / week out application / attendance throughout his career. Very unlike him to miss for weeks on end (bar injury). Hope all is well here

The main commentator is also bog ordinary and very hard to listen to imv. Maybe ok for VFL but shouldn't be doing the main gigs

Lol Carlton player drops ball while being tackled (play on!) Picks it up again while being tackled then drops it again ....all while being tackled (play on!) 🤣

So two players at a contest.... at least three umpires in visual and not one of them sighted the clear high free (round the neck almost a headlock) tackle against Zurhaar haha. However, any hand on a Carlton forward's shoulder and it's instantly called.

Thanks Sue. Very good article and analysis. Significant change from 2021/22. Interesting how theyve completely divided the field between them. I like

Yep no issues last year there. They did have the usual mosh pit yelling out dumbass abuse at our fellas & the umps but thats par for the course. The rest were just decent Demon folk plus the regular local stoners

Yes that's the one Kent... I literally take ear plugs now and use them at half time because of her. Not sure what happened to Robbo. Wish he would come back.

The Brissy Squatters

McCluggage & Starcevich are honest players but super slow to assess and dispose. Ashcroft having some impact so far this season. Hope the filth play Quaynor on Kozzy when we play them as they did with Cameron for most of the night.

Daniher doing his best to bring the Pies back into this. I'd be subbing him around about now

Nup

Yes i reckon Daisy should be replaced with our on-the-ground spruiker for the half time Demon Dash. She's so much easier on the ears 🙉
