Demon Dynasty

Keep Viney at HF FCS

Why is Dogga playing from nehind in the wet and in that situation. Boy this forward line is a dog's breakfast

Chunk simply has to come in for ANB next week if fit

Yep it's the worst non call I've seen in quite a while

The Daaawgs are Gaaawn. Demons by 3 goals

I reckon we get them in the last quarter ... umpiring aside

Their forward pressure has been much more intense for the entire match. We've matched them a little this quarter here but the first half was lacking

Spargo's been given a bit of a towelling up so far

Chunk for ANB or Jordan ASAP pls

Jordan just toe it forward son! [censored] stupid non thinking VFL grade footy

Not really they won a premiership perfecting this. The AFL loves it and clearly encourages

Keep Viney at HF pls to replace Kozzie who should be on Daniels (after quarter time).

SG that goal is all yours son for not locking Daniels down with Kozzie

Is that Spargos first kick?

Also the mids are getting pantsed. I count maybe one or two clearances for the whole night. I would have moved Kozzie on to Daniels to start the second. Bring Macca up the ground and clear some space behind. Manic pressure and attack on the ball missing. The Dogs want it more so far. And why is Max constantly smashing the ball forward straight into the hands of the Doggy's defensive sweeper? Just dumb footy. Put Max on the bench, Dogga into the middle. Macca plays higher and Kozzie into the middle. Scrap that stupid zone in our front half....it's a MAJOR fail and the difference between us winning and losing far too often.

Our dump kicks to no one in particular. And Gawn looking to kick after he gathers possession almost always instead of the handball to someone in the clear. The other issue is pressure. Once it goes into our forward half its too loose. A zone in these conditions in our front half just plays into their hands and gives them the time they need to connect and transition relatively easily....then launch i50. This last part is on SG.

Kozzie

Should have gone short or to the top of the square. Our weakest links so far.... ANB, Gus, Dogga & BB

Worth putting Kozzie to play a run with on Daniels? He's running hot and setting up so many plays as per usual. Ideal conditions for him but Kozzie might be able to kurb the damage

One of the worst openings to an Olympics ever!! I didn't know Beatlejuice was hired as a choreographer! Back to the footy

Leave Abbey alone BBP!

Why not! Can't stand Port and would love to see them miss the double chance / home finals. Hec I'd love to see them miss all together. That song pre match and Kochy always predicting they are on for the premiership every season ?

If we are ever forced into using either of those in that role for an extended period you can kiss season 2021 goodbye TU

Yes he had one very good game since going back BDA. That was in a non-rucking utility role between the arcs and pushing forward a little. Played a VG game alongside AVB and Melk with Chunk easily BOG in that match but unfortunately incurred the calf issue at some point. Pretty sure Chunk would've got the call up before AVB had he not been injured. Dogga might be doing similar but he does make a decent ruck fill in for Max when resting. Super mobile on the ground and almost like having an extra mid. A little like Hogan when he played in the HHF role in 2018, albeit i don't think he ever rucked at all. However, Dogga's form has slowly ebbed away these past three or four weeks. I'm not sure the Weid is much chop in the ruck either. I'm also still not convinced he's able to take things to the next level and bring what he did that day in the VFL to the seniors. Having said that though i still think there might be a place for him across HB if an injury occurs to say Petty (Lucifer forbid). But even then Smith would be well ahead for that role at this stage i'm guessing Present line up well settled now though and going to be VERY difficult for anyone to force their way in other than if we incur an injury. Hopefully zero of those. But also no VFL now has made it almost impossible, outside of injury, for alternatives to show off any form they might have and force their way in. Yes, there is always the ability to train the house down but i'm not sure that holds as much sway with the selectors on its own without a Casey run. I'm also still not convinced that our depth bats very deep. A few injuries (touch wood) and i think we might struggle to fill a gap or two. Based on form in the last few VFL games the only genuine "filler" candidates that IMV the selectors might consider in order are (to various degrees and depending on the role needing to be filled and their fitness status)... Chunk & AVB; then Sparrow, Melk, Lockhart & Smith; then Weid One player i would love to see get a run, but very much doubt he will at this late stage and unlikely to be ready for the step up right now anyway is Declase. The other is Rosman but again way too early me thinks. Will more than likely get some looks at both in 2022.

There's not really any obvious replacement banging the door down though Dazzle? Especially given there's no door to bang down thanks to the VFL not bringing in the big $$ and getting the chop courtesy of Gil & Co.
