Demon Dynasty

The only good thing to come outta that (aside from a great cause) was the $$ i had on the Pies

Mitch to Mihoczeck

Barely touched the ball (vs his usual)

Did a couple of decent things that quarter but far too quiet and lacks intensity on his opponent. Pushed off the ball too easily. Still zero goals and thats what he's there for. Would need to kick a couple of goals this quarter or at least one plus a few asists to have any chance of holding his spot. Sparrow looks very shakey with the ball and too loose without at this stage. ANB far too quiet. Again unless they lift and do something pretty special it's Bedford time for one of those two pls.

Yep and this is the case in general around stoppages and in game play. A few too many handball receivers are flat footed but....this is also being brought about by one or two extra (unecessary) handballs to a nearby player drawing further pressure. Too me this is a structural adjustment thing. Get the outliers out a little further so they have a tad more time to change lanes after the receive & execute by foot or get the overlap going over the top by hand.

Put Harmes on DeGoey. Needs a cooler. Kozzie the invisible man so far. I'd be switching him on to Daicos as a hard lock and run off role if he wins the one on one....give him the challenge to win defensively first...then go go go to damage. He cant just be a forward crumb in a big game as he just doesnt get enough of it (at this point...might happen later as he gets stronger, tougher, more experience)

This bloke is such a big game white line player. Anyone who says Hibb is done & dusted well think again. Our best down back so far by the length of the Flemington straight

Amazing what happens when a couple of your key talls finally stand up... Dogga & BBB

Have a lager for me SW....where abouts?

Can you ask if she likes fried bananas drizzled in maple syrup?

Can someone tell Bin....top of the Ponsford's open! 😬

This bloke can play very nicely on the inside NS....i agree re bull at a gate. I remember when we were all screaming for Clarry to break out using some grunt (driving his legs on the burst) to the outside and kick more often. With enough training (probably full pre-season) i reckon it just might be possible for Dunstan as well. Take his game to another level.... what an asset he would be

Call me crazy and i'll no doubt cop some heat over this but.... Although he doesn't have the elusiveness & skills on his left side, nor the aerial acrobatics (yet). Is also more likely to be played as a small forward / occasional mid rather than an attacking HB. In the three matches i've seen Moniz he reminds me just a tad of something akin to a very very raw Gavin Wanganeen. While i'm in no way suggesting he will have the sort of career Wanganeen had, this kid might be heading towards something pretty special (in his own right). Very early days though of course.

Agree, he was shakey & flakey at the Pies PF. But having watched him a fair bit this year.... he's def playing the Linger's type role (maybe not exactly but alot of similarities?). Maybe worth limiting his impact a little i reckon. Something like how the Hawks limited Lingers by not allowing him the outside?

Not that pile of dung ... Casey vs the Pies uncle 😅 P.S. ...welcome back! P.P.S. your absence = Demon losses... no more holidays till post season pls!

Well this one's done. Bring on the big game tomorrow!

Ryder ...comedy capers

Saints smashed on inside 50s

Dropped a few sitters tonight

PF what's happened to your training coverage? Closed Covid proof sessions yeh?

One week a bit harsh but the FD must've been looking for something more and he didn't quite cut the mustard GY?

It would appear a co-ordinated pre-fabed fire extinguisher strat is already well under way. He is now the victim....leave him alone!

Two pretty major key spine (book end) players though Swooper and don't really have genuine replacements for either. However, if Turner slots in tomorrow he might cover off Maysie's role. Who knows he might even play a ripper. Then fingers crossed at least one of Mitch, BBB or Dogga can fire up in F50 to give us something. Surely one of them can get going. Third time lucky!?

I'm not so sure re Petty at CHF CoolX. If my memory serves me correct, going on what Goody hinted in yesterday's pressor, BBB & Mitch more than likely the starters up forward. Not saying we won't swing Petty up forward at some stage but if we're playing 'the Demon way' i doubt it. If he goes forward it's probably going to be in hope if the two talls (announced in starting line up) fail to fire.

Very impressed with the Hawks in-your- face frontal pressure and chase downs from behind today. Their 'hunt' and effort was immense and caused plenty of turnovers you usually don't see so often from the Dockers. Reminds me of us in periods last season and throughout the finals. Really need to find that pressure and hunt in this second half if we're to take out most of the challengers from here. Hopefully starting on Monday. And more so after May returns.
