Demon Dynasty

Would've thought Moniz as a close like for like but according to training reports it sounds like he's had some sort of setback. If so... 'Rags' might just get a call up

Mods if you could alter my last post's header from round 3 to "to Round 4, 2024" if possible pls 🙏🏼 DZ i hear what you're saying but clarry would still be training / at club on a regular basis if he misses a week or even two (if needed). I'm sure he'll have a busy program to get through. It just won't involve any work that might impact the hand for a bit till it's back towards normal.

Hope the umps think the same!

I hate both however anything but the filth. Common Dawks do something! And if you can't win at least take out Mayturd

Team & Player Ratings to Rnd 3, 2024 vs H&A Season 2023 Gonna go out on a bit of a limb here and say... getting Clarry right should possibly be our highest priority between now and post the bye! How we do that i don't know (very few ready made mids knocking on the door for a 'managed' situation) but the FD and Sports ppl will really need to make sure Clarry's hand gets to a fully recovered state over the next 4 to 6 IF we're to go deep into finals and possibly further. Does the FD consider resting Clarry for say Kolt or Sestan in order to get Clarry right for the post bye leg?

Round 4, 2024 Adelaide Oval - Crows vs Demons Amazing stuff from the boys playing away against the two Adelaide clubs in consecutive weeks off a 5 day break. Ripping start to the year from CP5 coming in with the No.1 rating for the third time in five matches! 26% higher than his 2023 rating. McVee hits the big time with the No.2 rating, blitzing his 2023 rating by a massive 78% and cracking the top five rated players for his first time in the red & blue. His highest result so far, knocking off his Rnd 3, 2023 rating vs the Swans of 3.425 Lets take a look at some of his outstanding work against the Crows... 19 effectives @ 95%, 1 contested mark, 2 one percenters, 6 rebounds, 1 inside 50, 4 score involvements, 10 intercepts (second most on the night behind Keane with 11), 416 meters gained and 4 turnovers. The incredible Iron Man "May" comes in at No3. which is quite astounding under the circumstances. To post a result 22% up on his 2023 average player rating is just ridiculous given the injury cloud. Maxy posting a VG rating given the 5 day turnaround and what he produced the week before. Sparrow another solid performance, 25% up on 2023! Notable performances from Chandler & T-Mac again. Fritta solid but his Rnd 3 performance vs the Hawks still the best for him so far with a 3.425 Viney still doing well also under a cloud. Clarry suffering the effects of a (soft?) tag and that hand injury it seems! Our bottom 6 players improving on their performance against the Power which might be an indication of some "learnings" on the road?

Finey calling out 'the Edge'. The only segment worth listening to via the SEN podcast or on the night. Peaky's a crack up & reminds me a little of uncle Doug from the old Wide World of Sports (basically a VFL footy show) from the 70s... You can throw the rest of SEN in the bland AFL 'lackeys' bin.. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/tDAFaZibYRrEJThV/?mibextid=xfxF2i

Howdy DZ. All good thx for asking. Super late on this weeks as i had a wedding road trip to travel to in Bowral and back (from Melb). I was thinking about bringing the laptop to complete while i was here but the potential fallout with me lil stormcloud probably wouldn't have ended so well! Chowing down in the Beechworth bakery right now 😅 I'll get this done and up by this evening. Hope all's well at your end.

My fav.... EssenDone 😅

Another contentious win resulting from an umpiring / arc shizen fest

Dog's wld be up 91 - 89 without the false mark behind the goal line decision

Hooray Noughton marked!

Duryea's kicking has been shizen

Score shld now be 85 - 87

Had the pleasure of meeting and chatting to him for about 10 mins about 18 months ago and can confirm same. Super humble, no nonsense straight down the line. You could be having a beer alongside at a bar and not have any idea he's a super star. Good SOH too. Love watching him. Needs more support in the middle though. Mostly just him & Libba.

Dogs shld only be 10 points down. The Stengle ball was still moving in his hamds (just but that's enough) and not totally in control as it (fully) crossed the line. HQ continues to find ways to influence one team or another undeservedly. AFL amature hour continues on unabated.

How was Atkins supposed to avoid that? Cut off his leg?

Dogs have allowed too many mids to get forward of the ball and over run the contest at CBs tonight. The Cats just pressure and sweat the turnover then link by hand to outlets & outnumbers straight out the front into their forward 50. Not sure if the Dogs are playing a sweeper but if not why not? If they are where the hell is he?

Baker having a good night

I think Scott is a flat earther and was referring to the edge of the earth and how long it would take till the Bombers eventually fell off. Didn't have to wait long.

The Kangas are desperately short of some hard nose vets. Among other things
