Demon Dynasty

That's some Pie stall! As long as the Chico Roll stall survived!

Absolutely. There just isn't enough talent pool to offer up another club and see the other 18 hold their present shakey competitiveness. The bottom 6 are playing a bog ordinary standard and mostly unwatchable yet the AFL is hinting at a 19th team?

I would much prefer one of GWS or GC go to make way for a Tassie team. How much has been poured into these two clubs in the last decade and still going in and for what benefit? Their crowds /supporter base are not exactly growing after about year 2 or 3 of commencing. What's the term about doing the same thing over and over & getting the same result!!

I don't know anything about his history but that doesn't sound so good. Theyre discussing this with Hodgy on SEN now

Isn't the Tassie Govt pushing for an organic Tassie team as part of their campaign ie; no relocated teams?

I can't see Norf going Souff.... oh wait!

Leaky defence (Weitering aside). Great at getting the contested loose ball (a close second to us). Solid discipline around the drop of the ball, where the smalls stay front & square waiting to pounce (especially Walsh....let him push forward without any close checking at your peril). They also maintain this discipline further up the field and hold one out the back (where possible) to swoop. Obviously Cripps is in fab form and can damage both through the middle and loves to push forward to try and score or share the pill with those around. Love to get the jump on their opponents and try and blow the game/lead out early making it very difficult to peg back. While still leaky in defence if you get the ball in quick enough they're slowly learning the two way stuff & getting better at defending (+ slow play). The forward line with McKay & Curnow in is a beauty. Voss has them up & about with belief at an all time high (since 1995). Plenty of games & water under the bridge to go so who knows where both teams will be at (form wise) by the time we get to round 22 but.... we should never underestimate an opponent, especially one in this sort of form with belief so high.

I agree we have to stay ruthless as a club/team on the field Jaded. More than happy to thump everyone while we can! Norf (and most other) supporters have always laughed in our faces & kicked us while we were down (for decades). Been on the receiving end multiple times. Bit of Kanga Karma maybe.

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
