Harmes in to tag Serong Kozzie stay inside 50 with the instruction to be a BBB feet all game Brayshaw is back to the wing Sparrow all game on the ball Smith to tag Schutlz (always gets away from us) Petracca stay perm HF. Get a defensive first-minded player starting in the middle. Have to do with the form of Darcy and Jackson. Coaching panel to try something different ONCE!

He was part of WA's leadership group for the u18 carnival. Natural fit!

Jacob Grant from the Dandenong Stingrays is one I like. 191cm utility, raw, and loves the contest. Brother was training at Casey last season.

McVee out? Really? Did you see his run and delivery out the backline? Sure he made a couple of mistakes but he is a massive upgrade on Hunt. Triple B will need a rest and Pickett in. Simples. West Coast is cooked after the weekend injuries and the bigger Optus Stadium needs us to have a running team. We will outrun them and it will be a shellacking! But..... anyone who is not 90% (no-one is ever 100%) must not be risked. We saw what happened to Gawn last year.

This is the thread I look forward to every month!!

Dusty is finished.

The Jackson trade points wise works out to be pick 2.

But we are idiots! That would be too logical for our club to take that approach.

Get Sexton

Really liked Chandler's game yesterday. You can tell how players REALLY play in the wet when skills are a premium and the toughness stakes go through the roof. The Roo was exceptional in the way he hits packs and moves around the ground. Combine him with Petty and Fritch and you have the makings of a potent forward lime. Woey surprised me as I haven't seen much of him, I think we might have one there as well. Just need to give these kids time in the spotlight like Oliver, Trac, Salem, Viney did in the lean years. Turner and Bedford also on my watch this space radar as well.

I have always liked Sexton. Always pops up to kick a few against us and wouldn't cost much.

Speed kills on the G and we don't have enough of it. At the game and the Pies are so quick. Also leaving Elliot deep forward makes the Dockers second guess their defensive structure. We need fresh outside legs and fresh ideas in the box as well.

KOZZY HAS PLAYED THREE LESS GAMES AND IS ONLY ONLY GOAL BEHIND LAST YEARS TOTAL. GIVE THE GUY A BREAK!

Out: all assistant coaches except Williams, Yze and Williams. In: fresh ideas and someone who can change Goody's mind!

Need to put speed on the ball in transition. Collingwood showed that you can get the defence off their mark if you attack quickly. Goody must be a stubborn bastard to see that our biggest asset in 2021 is a large liability in 2022.

I said this in July and last night proved I was 100% correct. Need fresh ideas and changes in the assistants because Goody is too stubborn to adapt.

Same here. Wasn't able to get one either. PM if you can help a fellow demon out.

It is as simple as this; if they want Jackson that badly they WILL find a way!

Wednesday night the first lot of awards are announced

Is there any concrete proof we have been loading? Officially from the club? Or are we making up excuses for poor performance?

The players control that and the gameplay around it. Teams are adapting how they do things mid season and we haven't. Tell me one thing that we have changed from last year to this. Bet you can't.

Lack of creativity and adaptability from out coaching group. Here me out. I look at teams like Geelong and Sydney who have the knack of changing the narrative each week depending on the opponent. The Blicavs move onto Oliver/Petracca was a brilliant way of negating the best one-two punch in the league. Longmire always seems to shift they way they play every week depending on the need. We don't! We play the same way every week. Kick out to the same side every week. Refuse to widen the ground by switching every week. Kick down the line every week. Bomb it high into the forward line every week. When will we tag someone? Where is out creativity? Any chance we could bring in a taller option like VanRooyan just to shake it up? Even playing Petty at CHF to change up the game. Where has our switching it to Langdon on the wing gone? What about Pickett one out in the 50? We never seem to try anything different?

As part of my podcast's (Lace Out) Season Previews for 2022,, I was pumped to chat to Peter Molan, from the awesome Deewatch Podcast about our admiration of the Demons, and if Melbourne can be back-to-back premiers? Who will stop the Dees? Listen to find out who... Check out the preview: https://lace-out.captivate.fm/listen It would be great to hear your feedback on the episode as it was about OUR CLUB so a bit of extra love was put into it!

Gotta be concerned with the 2nd quarter. Outplayed by their mids and connection down forward was average at best.

In the Hun today, MM rates the forward lines (we rated 1st for midfield). Can someone tell us where we ranked as I don't have access to the paper and his key reasons for our rating?
