What

Felt so relieved reading that. Then I got to the second line. For [censored] sake.

Doesnt look good at all. There was no contact... the knee just went.

Brayshaw (39) and Oliver (38) combined for 77 disposals.

Another bag of 5 and he now has 31 goals on the season, just two behind the lead for the Coleman. While also averaging 20 disposals per game. Superstar.

Geez, looking at the Doggies team again... by far the worst team we have come up against this season (on paper). Amazing that they won the flag before last.

Well we are loaded with big bodied ball winning mids, JR. Thats the only role Dom can play and hes about 10th in line. He will be in demand from other teams like the Bombers, Carlton and a few others, so we should strike whole the iron is hot. And may need to free up cash to land Gaff or another big fish we are into. - or who are into us.

The talent level between the two teams is huge and the Dogs can not kick goals. Their only chance is to make it a 4 quarter scrap and bring intense pressure, and for us to have a down game and perhaps have some fatigue from Darwin while they had an extra 2 days break. Demons by 29.

The more upsets the better for us. I am sick of seeing the Swans in the finals. My dream is seeing all of Sydney, Hawthorn, Geelong and West Coast miss the 8.

Brizzy to beat the severely overrrated North. They have a good match up for Brown too - rising star Harris Andrews.

Wow thats a big day indeed.

Tomorrow. Buckle up.

Just over 24 hours til game time. Really hope this thread does not backfire spectacularly.

Thi That comment really stood out. Imagine that, winning a flag and feeling robbed two years later cos it all fell apart. Hopefully we are set up for sustained success... not that any of us would complain if we stole a flag and then fell apart Doggies style. Well some would. Maybe all of us. I dont know.

Had a feeling Joel Smith would be ahead of Jayden Hunt for a half back spot , and the emergencies are a good indication of that. Don't be surprised if Smith is in our starting 18 come finals time. Fantastic player with some very strong footy attributes to go along with his elite athleticism/leap.

Would be awesome to see that one ticked off one day. We must be the only team left from the VFL era that doesn't have a 100 goal kicker in a season.

If they get a Demon midfielder it will be Tyson.

Garlett and Tyson really being made to earn it. As it should be.

Can only imagine the sort of filth you get up to at Northbridge in the wee hours of the morning, ET. And please don't reel off a list, this is a family forum.

8 goals in a Prelim. Thats rare air. What a player he was. Too bad he went to Freo.

Demon for life. Watch out Neita, your goalkicking record might get knocked off by the Hulk.

We are 7-3 and footy is so good at the moment... but its hard not to get excited about the possibility of Gaff coming to us. It really feels like it will happen, or that its at least very realistic. 2019 (and beyond) midfield Oliver - Viney - Brayshaw - Petracca - Jones - Salem - Hogan - Gaff - Fritsch - Spargo - Harmes - ANB Scary! Like the Geelong triple premiership teams who had a midfield that batted 12 deep that was unstoppable, and untaggable... but ours would be even more dangerous due to the likes of Hogan, Tracca, Spargo and Fritsch who could go forward and tear a game open. Oliver will soon prove to be a dangerous goalkicker too who can rest forward and menace teams.. the evolution is coming. Even if we dont get Gaff we will still be downright frightening. Yeah, get excited folks.

Yeah true, thought he had kicked more than that... 12 goals in 5 games is a nice return though. I bet he will make it at AFL level and be a very good player... this kid is no Viv Michie/Aiden Riley.

How long until Balic makes his Demon debut I wonder... competition for spots is tough but hes putting his hand up most weeks. Seems to be a goalkicking machine at VFL level. That would fit in nicely with our frenetic attack if he can bring it to the AFL. Watch this space!

You left out the one who knows the inner workings of the club better than anyone and whos sources are as good as it gets. Hes the only one who knows if Gaff is coming or not... and not even Gaff himself knows. Paging him now @Satyriconhome
