Yeah, we don’t have any resources in WA, that could possibly generate any foreign export. ?

Has it effected your life much. As a result of WA’s tough border policy we have lead a pretty normal life since last June. Businesses not as badly interrupted as our eastern states counterparts. We have been able to attend community footy, kids have gone to school uninterrupted for the best part and played near enough to a full season of sport last year. I think I know which policy I’d prefer to live with

OPPOSITION WATCH: What They're Saying at Waverley Park
Pennant St Dee replied to jnrmac's topic in Melbourne Demons
8 to 10 years ago we’d have had a thread on him up and running in May -
Absolutely pizzling down in Perth now, Eagles are pretty skilful side which is an asset in the wet, but they are one of the the worst sides for groundball gets I’ve ever seen. Cunnington could be very important tonight along with Goldy

2021 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
Pennant St Dee replied to TRIGON's topic in Melbourne Demons
I think they must’ve given him decent bench time in the 4th, only 1 more possession added to his tally -
2021 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch

The highly rated Joshua Brown already up to 30 disposals early in the 4th quarter for East Freo colts, Taj Woewodin not far behind 26 disposals, 3 tackles, 8 marks and 1 goal -

Very good performance all round. Dont worry about stats both Brown and Viney were vital. Pressure was back where it needs to be across the board and the 1%ers were back. Loved our defensive pressure from the inside 50 tackles to the set up as soon as we turned it over

GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Port Adelaide
Pennant St Dee replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
And Brissy at Giants stadium -
No one really, maybe not in those words but review all the posts across team selection for last few weeks and the changes thread vs Port We need a tall target to bring the ball to ground for our crumbed We need to bring in a proven 60 goal a year forward who will provide us an contest and aerial target He does neither of those things and never has, he’s a great lead up forward with the ball out in front of him . He runs in straight lines direct to the ball and does it well. If he doesn’t get the ball delivered to him that’s not always an issue because his patterns still provides a lane for another forward to run to. But that is his strength and he generally kicks accurately. Outside of that he lacks strength and is very easy to knock off the ball in a 1 v 1 contests. I don’t mind him coming in for something different but he’s not going to increase the amount of ground balls we win if he doesn’t mark it, the ball is coming straight back out. Yes he will improve our conversion, but he also brings flaws, like most players

Pretty much nailed it in regard to the the issues on the weekend and somewhat our last 3 games. Well beaten by the Pies and Giants out of the middle. what I find astounding is the myth people have about Ben Brown being some pack crashing contested marking beast. I do think he’s still worth a look if they’ve built his tank enough to make multiple repeat leads into the channels which Tmac created by leading hard up the ground
-
I don't mind bringing Ben Brown in, but FCS can posters drop the myth that he is a contested forward who brings the ball to ground. He lacks strength in the contest and is easily moved off the ball. What he does give you is a lead up target who is very hard to counter with his long reach when the ball is coming in at eye height. Could see moments yesterday when Tmac lead very hard up the ground and opened several leading channels inside forward 50. Recall watching and thinking to myself I think Ben Brown thrive in that set up. But teams will also counter it by failing to follow Tmac up the ground

Sorry Max was at the back of the goal square with a smaller opponent guarding the top of the square and a lead. The quick high ball to the advantage of Max was ridiculously obvious but Hunt just kept running
-
We used 2 of them in 2019

Understanding team defence isn’t really your thing is it. If you wish to look at stats, have a look at our marks and shots inside 50 last week. The issue was conversion not structure
-
Yes I know, but if they lose it makes it very hard for them. We must be ready to go first bounce, no letting them get their tails up. Strangle them from the start, run hard, make good decisions and take our chances
-
Need to be on for this game, Giants season is absolutely on the line
-
No side with Green, Ward, Hopper, Davis, Greene, Reid and Mummy will be intimidated. They are a hard nose side, their weakness last week was their lack of run with Whitfield the exception
-
After watching GWS today and how much trouble they had with talks and also their lack of run would probably result in it being a good time to bring BB in
-
Don't go there, I understand why but makes you like them. He's been ok today, clearly working hard just hasn't impacted like he/we would like

Hopefully never, and that isn’t meant as a slight on Majak, more to the point he is insurance. If he doesn’t play I hope it means we are healthy and firing in the ruck and forward structure
-
Max was made look very ordinary by young Lynch against Collingwood in the first half and he needs to get back to early season form, because Draper is hard at it and will bang into him for 4 quarters. He’s no mug and IMO along with Darcy at Freo going to be one of the top ruckman in a few years

Viney will not play as if he’s underdone, ultimate professional
