Demon Dynasty

Yeh and change up the music before they run out.... every team and their dog plays sandman before they run out. BORING

The selection of Lever here is just silly given is interrupted start. Yes he is off 2021 by a fair degree but hello! I feel he's slowly making up ground with each match. Getting him back to somewhere near his 2021 best form before finals is as critical as say getting Salem back.

The last word sums up your present day feelings for me and how well you've managed to let the past go and move on ....your user name also gives nothing away!

Yeh so many choice kind words and phrases were used on us & our players (Robbie excluded on rare occasions) in roughly 3.5 decades of suburbun footy. In particular, Hawks, Essendrug, Crow & Filth supporters. Just warms me heart when i recollect those times. All i want to do when i go is return their warm hearted wishes in kind

Personally i am a big fan of the hissy fits and fan tantrums after a loss. So much more memorable. Such as the time we lost to the Roy boys by 1 point at Junction oval in 1972. I was sitting with mum & dad in the stand and older bro was with the cheer squad. After the siren i noticed someone in the cheer squad jump the fence and started thumping both fists into the turf on his hands and knees. Oh...thas my bro 🤣

Final reel. A pretty fair assessment me thinks... 5 - 1 https://www.afl.com.au/video/772843

Latest instalment.... 10 - 6 https://www.afl.com.au/video/772694

50 games and a Birthday in the same week. Hope he snags a triple with a win!

Yeh that's sending the wrong message imv. His last two weeks were a mile off AFL level.

I don't think he's done and dusted just yet Jaded. Looked pretty agile against the Dolphins on Sunday albeit a fair bit of ground to make up before he gets a call up just yet me thinks. Regardless it means we have another premiership player chomping at the bit. Competition for spots is always healthier than the opposite imv.

Not necessarily. Hunt will need to fire this week and/or against the filth or Hibbo (assuming he gets through another VFL game or two unscathed and hits some form) might be knocking on his door for the QB match or, failing that, post the buy.

Not a bad lookalike...

Lots of respect for Lloydo and his insight analysis into the game. Good summary behind his reasonings and the strengths of each player. His assessment of big Maysie ...well i won't spoil it (2nd reel).... 20 - 16 ... https://www.afl.com.au/video/772111 15 -11 ... https://www.afl.com.au/video/772327

Yep. Happy to see him back and jobbing 8 goals on the G ....just not against us! P.S. nice analogy 👏🏻

..."Someone's gonna have to tell him"

AFL speak for... "Even with such a learned counsel, more time was needed to concoct a better case for Buddy given the evidence at hand"

That has to be the shortest AFL player interview on record 😅

Fireside chat with big Max up soon

And goal smarts / poise OD. VERY confident around the sticks. Sometimes the step up is a little too much though but i recall his game against the Hawks a while back and thought he was serviceable. He's no world beater but if it came down to having to pick one of the two i'd be giving Mitch a block of matches from here to see what he can do well before finals. Need to explore all avenues as so far our forward line (in totem...some individual cameos on occasions but pretty random) hasn't been able to get out of 2nd gear.

Probs one more credit opportunity for BB. Mitch is a decent alternative right now and playing some nice footy at Casey for sure. We need more marking power and/or getting ball to ground up forward by a tall to help out Macca as well as the medium/ small crumbers. Rotating Maxy & Dogga from CHF through the middle is fine. Unfortunately one has been a little off his best and the other....a fair way. Need at least one to step it up this week.

Interesting W As much as i like where Bedford is heading I can't see them giving the nod to Bedford ahead of BB. Stranger things have happened though and he did perform in the first half. Can't see Mitch as Sub ahead of BB either. No BB and should we continue to see an out of form Dogga on the park we'll effectively be very undersized up forward. Possibly the only other alternative is ANB out for Bedford? Cant see Goody making that tweak either at this point. You need at least one or two of your medium to tall forwards to fire. Fritsch about it on the weekend. Not even the drifters, Maxy & Dogga, managed to bother the scoreboard. Whereas Lobb owned us and kept them in it in that second quarter. Looked BOG given the impact and influence he had throughout the game. Big part of the reason we were so badly out marked also. Thank goodness for Plugga Mac's form, may it continue. We better hope another tall gets into gear this weekend as you can't solely rely on him every week. Spargo back to playing more 50 arc time should help (in theory). Him & Kozzie front & square more often along with nibbler / Viney / Harmes on occasions and we might start to see a functioning forward line that provides a decent return on all the entries we usually have. Mids lowering vision and hitting up some targets would be nice. Hunt's spot is looking shakey with Hibb & Salem returning and would expect Hibb or Salem to make a return against the old enemy if they get through the warm ups. Might even be both (Rivers?). Reckon we might struggle again this week with a bit of an unsettled line up (eg no Maysie, potentially one or two under the weather) and the continuing dysfunctional forward line but also there's the rebound factor. Boys will be out for redemption. Fingers crossed the buddy clause doesn't succeed. Hoping we can get over the line or better!

Just watched the highlights up to half time. Then the entire third quarter. Wow.... did we hand them the match. Don't get me wrong the Dockers brought some solid heat and pressured the carrier well. Finished work up forward etc. But between some of the dodgy ump decisions (in particular the first one against Lever to Tabenar) and our poor decision making plus clangers. No wonder we got our [censored] handed to us in that second half. I'm sure Goody & Co. will be into this but i sure hope they drill down into that third quarter in particular. Wouldnt want some of those habbits to catch or we'll be seeing consecutive losses in the coming weeks before the buy. Fix that [censored] up 😅 Oh...and Tracc playing through a sicko!?? Get thee home boy, take a bex and a good lie down! Carn the Mighty Demons!! P.S. no team can cover FIVE players down for an entire match! Other than against the two lowest teams ...maybe.

How so Mr Old? Insider info!?

For sure.... and Harmes back in will add the depth extra grunt factor plus a mid who pushes forward a fair bit.
