spirit of norm smith

The bloke was having a great year and a foundation player to our strong defence. May, Tomlinson, Lever, Salem, Hibberd, Hunt. Probably the best defence structure that I can remember. It’s a cruel game.

Agree. Go with the Cunnington precedent. It’s an absolute disgrace given Fritsch had the footy, low impact, fend off and the other player played on. Not even a fractured eye socket!!!

Exactly. Ball carrier. Fend. Low impact. Player plays on. Reprimand.

Reprimand. $1000 fine. Accidental. Low impact. Player played on.

Footy gods are so cruel.

Best 22 Inside - Trac Oliver Viney Jordon (Sparrow Harmes Vandenburg) Outside - Langdon Brayshaw (Baker Bowey Laurie) Dees might look for a skilled outside runner for the next trade or draft choices.

Votes to Melksham ??? Um. Ahhhh. Na.

6 Jackson 5 Fritsch 4 Pickett 3 Salem 2 Langdon 1 May Honorable mention to Jordon. There were a few close to a vote but also a few too many down on their game today.

Yes I generally agree and think there is some undrafted youngsters from last year who will get a call up. But guys like Mihocek, Lambert, Barlow, Gibbons, Hind, Fritsch, Ryan, Aarts etc all remind you that very good state league players (even the 21-22 year olds) can progress and be successful regular AFL players.

Good work Jesse. Quality young man. Hope his world improves and he enjoys his footy.

I went skiing for 3-4 weekends in about 1990 and 1991. Hard work to start but got the go of it after 2 days and was good fun with friends. Then it was just too expensive and too frickkkken cold. Never back since.

I hate the Cats. They are arrogant. Chris Scott is painful. But they were robbed. Clearly Cameron’s mark should have been paid. The kick went at least 15 metres.

Milestone Demon Dumped. That’s the AFL website headline Rested is the alternative wording

No

Agree. Mitch H looked ok but not a regular best 22 type of player. Dogs may see him float in and out of their team depending on injury, similarly as the Dees did.

Shhhhhhhhh. I was hoping to keep the Mac A under wraps but his bio builds week on week. It would be just more of a curse if he was a top 20 pick and MFC misses on the NGA silver platter concession.

Vanders has played 47 games in 6 years. 19 games in the last 4 years. Injuries have really hurt his potential as a tough skilled half forward-mid. But I remain hopeful that this year, he might be valuable come the second half of the year. He definitely brings higher physical edge to the team when he’s in the team.

I’d offer a 5 year deal. That’s a win win for the club and for Trac. Any longer is stretching the relationship imo.

Baker might travel with the team to Hobart

Yes they will come for him in my opinion. They have no key forwards aside from Mihocek. He’d be tempted in my view if he stays out of the Dees team for much longer. What would we get? I’m not interested in any of their players aside from young Macrae.

Yes agree on Sam Fisher. Any idea why he has been passed up ? I think he has the ability and endurance and skills and physical ability to make it in the AFL.

Hypothetical question. Nonetheless its a complete NO from me.

Bailey Rogers is simply too good for the WAFL now. Half back/wing runner with excellent skills. At 24yo, he is ready to play if required. If we had Hunt or Langdon unavailable, we need another fast runner to transition the footy. This is the Demons year.

It’s a joke. He stood up against the cheap shots that the Tigers pulled when losing. Tigers liked a few short elbows and punches in the clinches or after a contest. Kozzzy does not take that [censored]. That’s the story.

Probably keep two players out. One for the medical sub and one emergency.
