Demon Dynasty

Playing this role must be taking its toll on Gus a little. Can't wait for Salem to come back, which should free up Gus to go forward a little more and impact games there a bit more often.

Yes a bit close to the bone OD

Or ....the umpire (one of them) confused Toby jumping in the air as a delayed protest to the free kick given a few seconds beforehand and gave him a belated 50 for "dissent" !!

Further turmoil at Shinbonerville...

His tackling is also up there as well. 3rd highest tackle average in the team and equal 59th in the AFL.

This is a very good point re goal kicking = most popular "best player" stakes in the media and with many of the fans. While i have no doubts Clarry loves to kick a goal (who doesn't!) i reckon he knows his limitations here. Yeh, he'll happily attempt it when possible, but he is just as happy destroying his opponents around the contest, putting on the after burners and/or sharing the the Sherrin with his team mates to better the "Team" overall vs lookng to achieve more individual efforts including hitting the scoreboard. Having said that i would like to see him improve his goal kicking (in play & from set shots) and take some more shots at times when he knows he's within range (for the betterment of the team... bit of icing on the cake!)

He'll be back shortly after the buy via Casey i reckon

Might be Baker ? Short term until Lingers comes back of course.

Yes you might be right LN ... old father time catching up!

Wardlaw seems to have earned the No.1 ....a little under sized for the big league? Don't mind Harry Lemmey's highlights but of course you need to see alot more than a highlights reel. Appears to have some decent decision making/ finishing skills at an early stage and might be still growing! Not that we have a chance with any of the top 20 guys of course.

Some putting Viney straight back in .... thought it was mentioned somewhere within the club (was it the injury report?) he was a two to three week prospect?

Yes thats what they were chanting 64 my bad

The Demon army were using the "Narrm Army" chant. I also heard the chant "Naaaarrm" going around towards the end of the final quarter once we were well in front.

Someone like that for 2023 Mr Fence ... hope so

Newcombe off the charts this quarter. He's some footballer this kid

Upset of the year! As much as i hate to admit this is a great win

Alot of youth & inexperience in this mob but there's some great spirit amongst them and they sure have a red hot go

Not yet but i'm sure it will all be 'positive'

One of the rare times for me also

Very soft assist for Cameron there from the umps

I love this move from Mitchell. Hey it may not be a long term option or very effective other than as a one off surprise tactic but i'm almost certain the Brisbane brains trust wouldn't have covered this in their pre-game analysis and strats. And who knows. You just never know what the outcome will be with a move like this until you trial it. Unlikely i know but Frosty might have missed his calling and this might become a permanent option if it works well enough.

Thx EO...i think! 😄 Let me guess....mostly goes unnoticed but very consistent and reasonably effective!??

From 40 plus out though CYB? Sparrow maybe but doesn't get many opportunities as he isn't playing as a genuine forward. Fritta from 40 plus .... meh. BBB on a good day but then goes missing sometimes like yesterday. Plugga Mac not a young fella. Still think we need a big tall marking forward who can roost them from 40 plus and doesnt struggle with the extra distance (from 2023).

Aside from Plugga Mac & Kozzie within about 30 to 35 meters we really lack a natural penatrating accurate kicker from about 45 meters. All other forwards, even part time drifters like Tracc, are very dodgy in front of goal. Jackson probably the best of the drifters within about 40 meters. Is there anyone else you would trust on this list from about 40 to 45 out and just beyond? Maybe Max when he's on? It's our biggest weakness IMV and something we need to trade in for 2023.
