    It did have a smile face on it . Oh well you cannot win them all. 

    OLD DEE, We discussed everything about CO-Vid, all the players and how we will go this year.

    That Glenferrie was a great day. But you are right we cannot win them all. "Even if it was  Demons Training Run."

    See what happens when you are out of the Demonland for 2 years. I don't know too many.

     

    "I just read my fav. Players from 2 years nothing to change"

  2. ED Langdon is a must, he has pace and muscle to hit and tackle.

    Tomlinson we have been sort of after for many years. This is the ideal time.

    Jamie Elliot for Weideman.  ( to replace garlett)      Tom McDonald at CHF replacing Weideman

    Joel Smith FF if he is fit

    We need a driving kick half back flanker. We tried hunt but he kicked it up in the air.

    There is no certainty Viney will get games. He cant kick or mark. His few shots at goal drop short or go wide.

    Anderson would have been my No.3 pick, but may get picked up by GC No. 2.    Serong I don't know too much about, is he the Collingwood legends Grandson?

    Billy stretch must go. Too afraid to kick. Garlett gone. Keilty, Tim Smith and Lewis gone Walker gone.

    Gawn to Captain.  Harmes to V.C his improvement in the past 2 years has been rapid.

  5. I have been saying for the last couple of years that he needs to get fit and lose kgs.

    He has done that in small doses. I think another 2 kgs will do the job.

    His efforts this season was much improved, had his kicking improved we could have won more games.

    Kicking under pressure is something the whole team needs to improve on.

    Although it's unlikely there is still an outside chance of us cocking this one up. Unless there are serious question marks (Hibberd eg grabbed his hammy) we should field our best side and try to get as much momentum for September.

    Spargo would be the only one I'd drop but I don't know who comes in as no one really did much at Casey.

    It was a cramp

    We don't spread wide enough to defend. We seem to be happy to let teams play really wide coming out from defense and then when we finally twig that we need to man up, the opposition then switches it which then shows up our lack of speed in trying to cover this again. Has happened all year, you would think the coaching staff would do something about this but they don't seem to care. At least we apparently learn lots of things each week. 

    Totally agree. They play like school kids hunting the ball to get a kick. No defensive bone in their body.

    someone misses the ball and they turn around to see 4 opposition players laughing their heads off as they pick up the crumbs on their own and 3 hand balls later ...... GOAL.

  8. I just wonder how many times it has been drummed into them what to do in the final minute of play when you hold the lead.

    It has probably gone in one ear and out the other.

    I would put them on the track this week and train the arses off them. Whoever survives gets a game.

    We need to win 3 games to get in the 8.

    Adelaide, Suns and Sydney are the possibilities.  WCE and Giants are likely losses.

    He just should have kicked it. A simple snap on his wrong foot. He didn't even get close.

    We were right behind that and my recollection was he did actually have someone close to him. But maybe I'm simply failing to remember correctly?

    He was reasonably close but not close enough to put pressure on him.

  10. He is not an accurate kick by any means.

    He has a lot of bulk to bustle through packs.

    I remember him when he first came to training. He was kicking beautifully. That of course was before he did his ACL.

    I am just wondering if he is still carrying something post surgery.
