Feel for Ooze, he deserves a crack at a senior gig, Kingsley is a great appointment, and i reckon he'll do a really strong job for GWS, but feel for yze, though stoked to hang onto him for now Essendon are off their absolute heads if he's not one of their first calls. there is absolutely no rational, fact based basis for thinking James Hird is a better senior coaching prospect than Adem Yze, or about 50 other blokes to be honest.

As a few Demonlanders know i work in high performance outside of my career on here, and the reputation Selwyn Griffith has is amazing, he's especially highly regarded in injury prevention and management which is a huge part of why Burgo was so keen on him. I think we've had a few more hurdles this year than last year in terms of managing injuries and so on, but the fact we can hit QF week with a fully healthy and fit list and in good form is a credit to the entire program. I know the media are obsessed with the cats, but i 100% guarantee we have their measure and will beat them if we play them. The only thing that can stop us going back to back is ourselves, we're perfectly placed.

Wonder if we could get Luke Bruest? would be handy to have a crafty experienced forward down there like that

Oh dear! that's a bad typo! apologies Demonland, i'll show myself out

I don't think mcVeigh is an enormous chance to be honest so it's probably Goody vs Kingsley. you're not going to find two more prepared assistant coaches

I don't believe Grundys trade value is in any way connected to his salary, when a club is offering to pay 1/3 of his salary for 5 years they can't demand much in a trade, essentially we're doing them a favor. they need Grundy to go to sign their other targets and re-shape the list the way Fly wants, i reckon a second rounder gets it done

really feel for Ben Rutten because you feel that even he knows he's only holding the role until they get a commitment from Clarko

I think so, just in terms of the opposition throwing everything at us, Freo and Brisbane weren't desperate or hungry like Carlton were last night.

That's our best win for the year easily, the Blues bought the heat and were dog hungry, make no mistake playing like that they beat most sides. It is incredibly impressive to bring consistently elite-level pressure against them and grind out a win. we could tidy up our attack, but contest, pressure, and defense were all pretty strong

So good to see us play 4 quarters, the Blues would have beaten most sides today, i'd rate that our best win for the year, they were dog hungry for 4 quarters

Harry Petty. Incredibly young player.

Jake Lever needs to stand up if we are going to win this.

Spargo owes us a couple

Spargo has just had the worst 90 seconds of his career and cost the team 2 goals.

Brown playing on Young and not taking a mark is a huge worry, he's got him for height, weight, leap and experience, and he's just had a couple of weeks off. there really isn't much excuse for him

2 carlton supporting morons sitting next to me keep asking, "where are all your supporters?" and one even just made a joke about the Snow I was like "Mate, you realise your season is hanging by a thread here right?"

Every time Saad gets the ball, we need to absolutely smash him, even if it means a free or two. he's so soft and it really seems to rattle him

100% bank the cash and make a huge play for one of these Blues boys

Voss confirms they're going to tag one of our mids.

Yep. Scared of Kozzie pickett.

It's not, in my opinion. I just think we're not being as bold with ball in hand, or as aggressive in trying to win it back. the way i see it all of our problems in 2022 are between the ears, which is why i hold confidence we can win the flag even if we miss top 4

Time is now dees, Blues missing all their midfield depth. Foot on the throat and remind the competition we're still a force in 2022

Playing for Carlton will do that to ya

Sounds like Yze is the preferred candidate for the Giants if as expected Clarko joins Norf

Brodie Kemp from the Blues is someone i'd be having a look at. was potentially a super high pick in his draft year with some serious qualities as a player, but an ACL pre-draft caused him to slide. I think he's someone we could bring in and hope to get the best out of, his upside is enormous and doesn't seem to be able to get a consistent look at the Blues
