spirit of norm smith

Bowey will be a loss. TMCD AND BBB - can they contribute?? Fullerton and Pickett back v dogs Petty in v hawks mcadam target for round 4. depth is now not a big asset. We get very skinny with youngsters.

Runners. Langdon. Windsor. (Hunter) Bulls. Trac. Clarry. JV7. Sparrow. Class. Salem. target 2 more young running midfielders who have pace in their legs That’s what’s needed next Rivers is a half back running defender. That’s his weapon. Keep him there.

Hibbo. Brayshaw. Harmes. Jackson missing from premiership 22. Tmcd and BBB in constant physical rehab. Core group still there for a shot. Goodwin needs to get real. Spargo. Schache. Laurie. They are not good enough and we need to make tough decisions.

@DemonOX you are 100% correct. Laurie. Spargo. Schache. Not good enough for AFL. ALL NEED TO BE DROPPED THEN DELISTED

Gawn message to Goodwin

Howes - very very good Viney - heart and soul Petracca - in and out Bowser - great until injured McVee - good game tonight Sparrow - fumbled and loose Oliver - we love ya vanRooyen - tread water tonight May - important but limited Fritsch - our only forward Lever - poor under pressure Salem - promising first half Langdon - had little involvement Billings - why the sub Neal Bullen - did his role Windsor - a promising debut Gawn - beaten by Grundy, physically tired Schache - FAR TOO SOFT Spargo - NEVER EVER AGAIN Chandler - NEEDS TO IMPROVE Tomlinson - played his part Rivers - performance to forget Laurie - FUMBLED ALL NIGHT

Not negotiable Out. Spargo. Laurie. Schache. In. Pickett. Woewodin Fullerton.

The votes 6 Viney 5 May 4 Howes 3 McVee 2 Tomlinson 1 Bowey.until injured apologies. Fritsch Salem, Windsor good debut Billings sub Pass mark: Langdon Trac Clarry Gawn Rivers Need to improve. JVR. Chandler. ANB. SPARROW. Lever Never ever again. Laurie Spargo. Schache.

Great news. 👏👏👏👏👏 Tom Sparrow 💙❤️💙❤️ premiership player we love ya Tommy 👏👏👏👏👏

Agree @Older demon a smart pickup. I think he’s one to watch this year. Played juniors at Sandy Dragons and was impressive. Key defender who also can go forward and kick goals. Had 2 years at amateur level and building up his frame.

Great news. 👏👏👏Really hope he shines on debut. Definitely a talented youngster. I like his skill and footy smarts. Has now added hard work to his CV.

Prediction. No prediction to get half of the predictions correct.

AFL WEBSITE Prediction from Nathan “Chook” 🐔 Nathan Schmook Premier: Brisbane Runner-up: Greater Western Sydney Wooden spoon: West Coast Moving up: Fremantle Set to fall: Melbourne Club under the most pressure (and why): Melbourne. The Demons haven't taken full advantage of their prime years. Ending two seasons of straight-sets exits will be a challenge after their pre-season setbacks. Will the Suns finally make finals?: No Brownlow Medal: Errol Gulden Coleman Medal: Charlie Curnow AFL Rising Star: Colby McKercher Recruit of the year: Brodie Grundy Surprise All-Australian: Jordan Clark Who should headline the Grand Final entertainment?: Foo Fighters Headline you'll see: Freo zeroes in on forward target with draft kitty Headline you won't see: Club pushes the line with matchday concussion management Big call: Like the Brownlow Medal in 2023, youth will be the big storyline in the Coleman Medal race (around Charlie Curnow) as Max King, Jamarra Ugle-Hagan and Nick Larkey push the superstar Blue with top-five finishes. Schmook's ladder prediction 1. Brisbane 2. Greater Western Sydney 3. Collingwood 4. Sydney 5. Carlton 6. Fremantle 7. Adelaide 8. Port Adelaide 9. St Kilda 10. Western Bulldogs 11. Melbourne 12. Gold Coast 13. Geelong 14. Essendon 15. Hawthorn 16. Richmond 17. North Melbourne 18. West Coast

Dees now with $$$ available after Brayshaw medical retirement? I’m still liking Florent as a free agent to come home to Melbourne. See his pace and skill being into our midfield mix.
