Demon Dynasty

They have mentally not turned up bar a few. If they turn this around and win it will actually be quite a miracle at this stage. How SG feels Melk (anywhere other than a part time foil off the bench for Fritta resting)/Baker are ahead of Sparrow/Chandler is perplexing. First fix....get the ball. Second is to maintain possession until the scoreboard levels out. Then go from there

Ed's been good. Spargo not too bad in patches. LJ good also. Has Tmac had a possession? The rest are asleep at the wheel. That kick from Tracc running into an open goal and instead goes short straight to a Norf player in the pocket. I've been saying all year...sort that shiiit out! Go for goal when all options look covered. Its costing us so many potential goals after alot of hard work only to see the ball turned over or rushed for a point.

Someone needs to go to Hall. Way too loose and getting too much time/space

Where is Tracc? Max? Melk is awful. So many running past the contest and not at it? This could end up another Tassie disaster. 19 to 8 inside 50s this quarter!

How was that not a free to Ed???? BS umpiring

Gawn & Clarry having a mare so far. How Max did he not make that marking contest on the wing and at least get ball to ground? Melk is not up to AFL standard in ground ball contests and congestion.

Isn't he out injured as well? Maybe get White on the list (again)!

Easily our worst quarter of footy for the season. No willingness to run both ways from some or even close down space in the zone. Zero connection between the followers. Just awful. If not for Fritta we'd be down by 3 goals to a team that hasn't won a game.

With Thommo gone for the season...is it too early to swing TMac into his role to get some defensive practice / mind set happening and Weid comes straight in from next week to take over his forward role?

Brushing off the 8 day cobwebs

Thommo Knee....gone

Super soft no intensity start. Max is almost walking in to the ruck contest

Last time i looked wasn't tunnel ball a throw?

Just out of interest, statistically Jones & Sparrow are pretty much level pegging this season. Obviously a few more years ahead of Sparrow though.

I like. The recovery / rest and maybe half a game makes complete rest. Experience galore as well and knows how to carry out almost any role required. As you say he'll come on fresh and can go all out in a shortened game (for him) if he does get subbed.

Very much an outside mid. We are still short one decent mid IMV. Imagine if we went into a big final and one of the big three didn't get up. Melk to a wing (two way tank??) while Gus is playing a bit more mid time?

Something smaller....his toe. Ye old toe turf?

I hear you RBG. I guess i was just making the point that we look at what's ahead step by step if/when we arrive at the next level. There are advantages to top two for sure but there's so much work ahead before setting ourselves for that as well as about 14 other clubs seeing themselves as a chance of still making a fist of it if things go their way. We also need some continuing luck with injuries. Pretty much a full list to choose from atm which is always a handy leg up.

Is this THE original Range?

Wasn't watching every moment but i didn't notice him at all till about 5 minutes in to the third. Was he sub? Appeared to miss the first half but might have been super quiet also.

Sure did. Would you believe they also showed the one with Cotchin and put it in a small screen as the live coverage was showing Cotchin also during the quarter time break! Ground breaking stuff from AAMI & 7 ?

Yep i recall going to the match where we got there at the G with a crazy Demon supporter from my kids school (a rare random Demon supporter at that point). Was it against the Blues? I know i was sitting up the top of southern stand flank and seem to recall Neita went alright. Random Demon friend literally cried in disbelief after the final siren and the AFL ladder went up on the big screen. Then i cried every week for the next 5!

One week is a long time in footy...let alone 4.2!

Very much but wish he would quit watching himself
