Round 7 Non MFC matches
was thinking the same thing but just checked the Adelaide weather radar and while cold with a strong breeze it's bone dry.

Changes v Gold Coast Suns
Weather forecast for Brisbane next Saturday is sunny and a maximum of 23 with a stiff breeze. Should not be too much different on the Gold Coast. The match starts at 4:35pm. We have struggled in the heat so far this year and while this is pleasant weather it's the kind of weather that a fast team excels in. Could be a close one.

CASEY DEMONS V FOOTSCRAY VFL - Round 5
Hi KC mentioned 3 goals to Weid but I see the match report only lists 2. Dee-Licious posted earlier that he had 2 goals 3 behinds and was playing well. Looking forward to the final match report.

Great to hear. A solid game against the suns might be just what he needs.

CASEY DEMONS V FOOTSCRAY VFL - Round 5
Zac Dawson played 166 games and played according to the team gameplan. Rarely had a bag kicked on him. Not many players have that good a career. Only 10% ever play 150 games.

Changes v Gold Coast Suns
Would like to hope that Weid can force his way in. He'll need 4 or five this afternoon with some solid relief rucking

Making the finals
Binman...I'm not suggesting we "put the cue in the rack" but as a supporter I am more interested in seeing positive development signs for the future. Our percentage probably means we need one more win than the other teams if you want to start dreaming.

Making the finals
Gold Coast and any one of the others.As you say most likely Adelaide but more that the law of averages says we have to luck onto a win. Would like to think we could win more but the form slump is so deep that it will take a fair while to fully emerge. Agree WCE are just chugging along as is Richmond but both teams are well in front of us at present. The loss to the Saints shows how low we have gone.

Making the finals
Hawks aren't very good and we struggled. Very much the false dawn I'm afraid. Being competitive in the lead up to the bye would be a comparative win for the season made better if the likes of Petracca and Stretch can start to show that they are the future. Good to see Hibberd have a decent game. We need another three years out of him at least.

GAMEDAY: Rd 07 vs Hawthorn
Has been a tactic they have used for at least three seasons. Takes away one player from downfield but is an interesting tactic

Petracca training incident
Hypoxic training is not unusual. One version of it is training at altitude. This method though just sounds plain stupid and dangerous

PREGAME: Rd 07 vs Hawthorn
Congratulations Dec and as many have said ..thanks to Drunk'n ... it is a journey shared. It's worthwhile taking a moment to think about how few players ever really make it at AFL level. That first game is a real milestone. https://www.reddit.com/r/AFL/comments/7iax40/what_percentage_of_afl_players_reach_each_games/ Game Milestone Number Of Players To Reach Milestone Percentage Of Players To Reach Milestone 10 7715 61.323% 50 3968 31.540% 100 2213 17.590% 150 1143 9.085% 200 560 4.452% 250 234 1.860%
