Demons likely move? NSW?? NT ???

And it works sometimes and not others. It’s not critical for all players. Imo Harmesy is not a half back. He’s an onball tough mid who rotated forward. Just like Oliver

One young 18yo who might be a 25-35 range is Zac Dumesny. Tall mid-utility with good skills. Andrew Mackie like. Played senior footy with South Adelaide in round 1 and looked comfortable. One for JT to watch.

Salem-Hibberd-Rivers. HBF pretty well covered.

Yes similar type to Harmesy. Tough. Both love the tackle. Great to have on our side of the trenches. I see VDHberger as a HFF-rotating on ball on occasion whereas Harmes is more of a mid-rotate HFF. Harmesy not used well by Goody this year. Hbf? No

Not quite the match winner A grade type imo. 35 games in 6 years. Missed all of 2017 and 2019. When fit, he made us a better team but even fully fit he was a B grade range player. Hope he stays healthy and gets a good run. Great bloke.

great work DeeSpencer. Agree. Yes you have to make Richmond’s defenders accountable. Yes Grimes. But also HOULI SHORT VLASTIN are all dangerous and rebound the footy. Top 1 issues v Tigers. 1- contain Dusty Martin. 2- stop rebounding defenders who start their attacks 3- hit your targets. Any skill errors are punished in counter attacks. We have worries here !

Exactly. Clarko is a politician and a smart tactician.

Agree. I was thinking this probably our strongest line up. No excuses. The performance against the Cats was very disappointing.

Geelong FC has Player by Player review across the 18 players from the scratch match. Different approach.

Not that long ... it stops at nth NSW

Rowell was born and bred in suburban Melbourne. Never connected to the Suns. The AFL gifted Anderson to the Suns in one of the greatest signs of favouritism. Agree. Test will be how they play against teams “on the road”

Some very good recruits. It’s a welcome back to a lot of the ex Gippsland power boys like Capiron, Reid and McGannon. Stackelberg is a very good young midfielder

Dockers game definitely not happening, and definitely not on the Gold Coast.

Yes.

Big news. Great bloke. Had a good chat to him back in 2018. Very easy going. He was frustrated that his body couldn’t get through a few more games. He would lift the spirits of the blokes and protect a few youngsters.

I am in shock. Casboult as the savior!?!?!?!

Agree

Assume we now are highly unlikely to play the Dockers on the GC. MOVE TO THE NT - games hosted in Alice Springs and Darwin

And promoting coal mining through Adani and big Clive. Ridiculously supporting burning fossil fuels !! They just need to have Vic team fly in and fly out same day with compulsory testing for each day for 3 days and prior to game

Quarantine clubs in NT. now !!!! AFL needs to keep the game alive

Ok. Just got the news and threads updates

Who are we playing? When ? Why? How? It’s crazy.

Let’s move to the NT. Let’s get a crowd. Come on Gil. I know you love Danger, Sel, Dusty and Nat, but show some love to the Dees. Round 8 Dees v Kangas (Darwin) Round 9 Dees v Saints (Alice Springs)

Cats - they were terrible Demons - we were worse
