Demon Dynasty

Rnd 8, 2021 MCG - Demons vs Swans Harmes, Clarry, Salem, May, Tmac & ANB the stand outs for me this evening. A few of the usual contributors seemed to be out of it for much of the night but this does happen against quality opposition and the Swans need to be given plenty of credit. Probably the best opponent i have witnessed live so far in terms of bringing the heat for almost four quarters and pushing us all the way. Top three for Clearances... Clarry 10, daylight the rest with Harmes & Tracc 5 each Top three for Score Involvements... Tmac with 7, Equal second Harmes & Melk 5 each Top three for Meters Gained... Salem 605, Clarry 534 & Ed 420 Top three for One Percenters... Lever & May 8 each, Big Max 6 Top three for Intercepts... Salem 10, equal second Lever, Harmes & Gus with 7 each Top three for Tackles inside 50... Kozzie 5, equal second Harmes, JJ & ANB 2 each Top three for Turnovers... Tracc 11 (Big number!), Clarry 8, Salem 7 Top three most Time on Ground... Lever & May 100%, Ed 98% Bottom three Least time on Ground... Rivers & Spargo 69%, LJ 70% Player Score Rank C Oliver 4.975 1 James Harmes 4.950 2 C Salem 4.175 3 Ed Langdon 3.425 4 Alex N-Bullen 3.350 5 Steven May 3.350 5 T McDonald # 2.875 7 Max Gawn # 2.600 8 C Petracca 2.525 9 Ben Brown # 2.500 10 M Hibberd 2.500 10 J Melksham 2.450 12 James Jordan 2.375 13 H Petty 2.175 14 Charlie Spargo 1.900 15 Trent Rivers 1.775 16 A Brayshaw 1.775 16 Jayden Hunt 1.750 18 K Pickett 1.425 19 Jake Lever 1.325 20 L Jackson # 1.000 21 Bayley Fritsch 0.700 22 Team Score 55.88 Top 6 24.23 Bottom 6 7.98

Another kill joy performance from May. I can only recall Buddy beating him in one contest.

Caleb Daniel reminds me a little of Callery at times. Was a very nice rover when he was on and loved playing in the wet where he often shined.

Fantastic last 3 quarters. The extra grunt needed and involved in many critical chains. little sloppy at times, especially in the first but coming back from a decent lay off. Broke plenty of tackles and worked his [censored] off to get to the contest. Welcome back son!

Never in doubt!

He'll have to turn it on in this last quarter for mine. Viney for Melk when fit and ready is the obvious in/out at this stage. Wishing we had a fit Marty Hore for Petty also. Tracc needs to learn that ballistic is good at the start...but not necessarily at the end of a possession. Find some more finesse and tale it to the next level son. Especially coming inside 50

Was ok in that quarter along with Nibbler and Salem

Kozzie's timing, positioning around the comtested packs tonight (so far) not as good as i've seen this season. Hopefully coaches can straighten this up a little for 2nd half. Same with a few other contests further out. Front and square pls fellas.

Kozzie was in space with no one on him coming from behind on his right side. No one within cooee...just off the bench maybe. Doesn't usually happen unless 50 out or more but with Maxy on a pretty severe angle (for him) they might wanna consider dishing off to a better kick like Kozzie on the run in this situation. Has to be a better percentage chance surely

Get Kozzie into the middle for a short stint and let's win a few clearances. Then forward again to do his best work. Back again in short stints when needed

Chowing down at the Barassi pub pre-match. Hoping the boys are hungry for a bit of Swan tonight!

Where was that....Mildura?

Haven't seen you on in a while Azz or have i missed a few posts?

Might be getting a little confused here with Radagast the Brown RGR. Although Gandalf did utter these famous words that befits the occasion you are referring to so i might be wrong...

Augers well doesn't it! Exciting stuff is our Mr Kozzie Two words come to mind... Game Changer!

Already better than peak Cyril? The stats behind Kozzy's stunning rise - https://www.afl.com.au/news/608299

Oh golly...went straight over Trig! Thx for clarifying

Found it! Biffinator off Big Footy 2011 (Warning: R rated and not for the faint of heart, some readers may find aspects of this content offensive!)... https://www.bigfooty.com/forum/threads/dees-v-the-tigers.839929/

Not sure who it was on there. Might have been someone posting a Big Footy link. It was an expose / parody on "the day i infilltrated the Richmond Grog Squad". One of the funniest footy tales I've ever read. I remember one highlight was the writer supposedely coming face to face with the legendary King Pin / leader of the squad.... Shazza!

O'logy was little like a small isolated island population, you know, like Tassie (no offence intended towards any Taswegians!)

That was a play on words Trigon... SWAN St... Sydney.... Didn't work by the looks of it ?

I really love the "Pacing, Chasing and Racing" plugs though. The original ad for that was so catchy too. Ty Hutchy

I came here as there just wasn't enough lunatics on there. Well aside from Rangey anyway.

Block them off at Swan Street?
