The group really looks galvanized, don't they? 

There is a sense of 21' with their outward celebration of 1%ers and unselfishness. 

The injection of Windsor has been immense, what a wonderful start to his career. He's clearly been told to back himself and take the game on, but he also has the ability to 'check' his kicks and go to the right option, not blazing away. Very mature young fella with incredible potential. 

Players like Windsor and Howes would have struggled to perform so early in previous Demon teams, so, credit to the boys and the coaching staff / on-field leaders who have made their introduction into the AFL seamless. 

• What, if any, dialogue has been had with Kalani White?
• Did you try and run your hand through Tholstrup's hair?

 All I want to know is, do the glasses fall within the MCC dress code.
Asking for a friend. 

What a beast!

Literally in the waiting room to get a vasectomy. I’m not sure what’s going to hurt more 😭

Clayton is a required player. But it's not unconditional. 

He has to decide if he wants to be a walk up hall of famer or a bloke who was very good at footy for a while.

His choice.

Oohh boy, now it’s real. 

Irrespective of how the criticism has been directed, the underlying fact is, we've fluffed two major opportunities over the past 2 years. It feels terrible because it is terrible, and criticism will continue to come our way until we improve in this area.

Must win high-pressure games of footy, not provide commentary on reasons why we lost, that just adds fuel to the fire.

Zip the lips and get to work, show the footy world what we all know we're capable of.

I am making a desperate effort to un visualise the image this created .

Yep, not up everyone's alley 😏

Cannot [censored] wait!

The Carlton sphincters were working overtime late last week. 

If we bring the pressure, I think we run over them.

Maybe we're looking to play Harley Reid on a flank  😁

Love the look of O’Sullivan. Perfect for the succession plan of a key deference post. Looks a smart composed player, with plenty of growth left. 
 

I have a sneaky feeling that Kozzie Pickett might just turn this one on its head. 

I’d prefer if McKay was playing. 
This would create more predictability for our gun talls to defend. 
 

Their smalls have me a little concerned, but, we could just as easily win this by 40 points.

No one will want to play us, I think we’re coming into ‘flick the switch’ footy. Fingers crossed. 

Gawn’s Paddock 

Petty reads the ball flight so well. 

Interested to see who goes out for Fritch when fit. can’t be a small, and Melksham is playing some influential footy. 

WHAT. A. WIN.
I think we found our forward set up.

Harrison Coleman, amazing!

The stars are aligning, this is a real statement game. Cannot wait.

I wouldn’t be surprised if discussion have been had. Bell is probably being a [censored] and asking for their first rounder back…in which case, we’re playing the game. 

Viney

Brayshaw

Pickett

Rivers

Gawn 

Chandler

Gee they came hard.

We almost got Darren Burguess’ed

We have an opportunity to gain some serious momentum leading into finals. 

It starts today 🔴🔵

I just wet my pants OMG

Pickett / Gawn / Trac will need 10 between them.

West Coast is in a world of pain and I think picking Reid would work against them;

• He doesn't want to be there
• In a 2 team state the pressure will be immense as pick 1 during a huge rebuild, not to mention being the face of it
• By trading pick 1, they potentially fast-track their rebuild with multiple first-rounders
• Adding multiple kids will create some comradery ala Oliver / Petracca or Sheezel / Wardlaw, shouldering the load together

Having said that, I'm not sure he suits us either. He's obviously a gun, but we'd be given up almost everything. Whatever happens, I have no reason not to trust Taylor and Lamb and I think we may see a mini shake-up come season end. 

Granted, we'll be drafting players that may not see a lot of game time initially, but it won't take long before we see a drop off in performance,  I think we're already seeing it. I'd prefer to bring in some kids when well supported by Gawn / May / Lever / Viney / Oliver / Trac etc - The right kids will make it, just like McVee. 

Lazy, dry weather footy.
