spirit of norm smith

1- Rowell 2- Anderson lock it in I still see the Demons getting 9 wins and 13 losses. That’s 12th to 13 position. About pick 6 or 7. I reckon Dylan Williams would be a great young kid to get into our team. Hayden Young, Brodie Kemp, Sam Flanders are others likely to come under the JT Eye.

Lever? Thought he would play a half to 3/4 quarters. Queens birthday??? Unlikely !!

Out of best 22 Lever 1- week Anb 1 week Jetta 6-8 weeks vandenburg. Indefinite joel smith 4-6 weeks melksham 4-5 weeks then some others unavailable Lewis - suspended Petty - 1 week Lockhart- 1 week Sparrow - no mention / rested Maynard - 1 week * walker - season * nietschke - season * bradtke - managed

Assume Dunkley gets a game this week.

No way Lever should play this week.

I met Brad 5-6 times and he was such a great bloke. Friendly. Smiling. He stood up despite the Demons dark years. I am sad for Brad, his boys and Family and friends for their loss. Such a tragic loss. It’s heartbreaking. MFC must ensure he is supported now and watch over him.

It’s not the play on. It’s the delivery of the footy. Our delivery continues to be very very poor. Footskills are so critical to moving the ball forward and quickly.

It’s rather early but (imo) possibles Garlett Jkh Vandenburg (if he cannot comeback from his injury) Chandler (r) gone Maynard Lewis (retired) I think 5 spots is max off the list. We just need to get injured players reduced

Omcd only in because Lever is not quite ready to go. Petty also needs more time to develop and another year in the gym.

Ins. lewis . Hibberd. .Weideman Salem. Anb. Jkh. Outs. Spargo. Petty TSmith Lockhart Stretch cwagner Hibberd. Omcd. Hore Salem. Frost. Jwagner Baker. Viney. Brayshaw Petracca Tmcd Fritsch Garlett. Weid. Jkh. Gawn Harmes Oliver n jones Lewis Anb Hunt emerg. Preuss Lockhart Stretch

A good addition. He is a good ball winner and smart user. Handy old fashioned determined footballer. Not quick. Not really skilled. These will be through the end of year draft.

I don’t know how Omcd still gets a game. He was slow. Outmuscled. Indecisive. Made to look so substandard. AGAIN

Fritsch might stay in BUT needs to play forward or on a wing. He’s not a backline player.

Too small. Too slow. Lacks competitive intensity. Missed tackles. Kicking ineffective. Has the brain for footy but not the elite weapons required for a man of his size. A good vfl or country footballer. We Bypassed Charlie Constable which is looking like a big mistake.

Agree. Relax. One more week off. Back in Queens Birthday

Agree. When he tries to finesse, it comes unstuck. Surely the coaches know his strengths and his weaknesses and advise. If we can see it...

Yes Stretch was poor and so were 14 others today very poor. Stretch Petty Spargo Garlett Omcd Fritsch TSmith cWagner OUTS Lever Preuss Hibberd Lewis Hannan May JKH Salem INS

I’m just so gutted post game. Watched the game on the tv. I was feeling crook before the game. Worse after the game.

Agree. Viney and Frost were ok. But yes 12+ players were shockers

From the Tv. 6-Gawn 5- Hore stretching it now 4- Viney (just needs to tidy up disposal) 3- J Wagner (He might prove me wrong) stretching it even further ie struggling 2- Baker (I really like his style of play) 1- Frost ... because lots of others were passengers 16 others - 4 ok and 12 absolutely need to look in the mirror (Brayshaw and Petracca are really really disappointing me this year)

Agree. If we can’t stop Cameron, it could get ugly. Frost is the only one quick enough. But I’ll be nervous every time!!

Agree. He would be a good assistant coach in 2020.

Riordan is a very good young player. Now he’s fully fit he has shown he is definitely AFL quality. But Hirst is more likely if we stay with a youngster.

What’s the odds Lewis playing for Casey. About 30% likely imo.

I had Preuss in as a certainty to combat Mumford. Hmmm when would you play both Preuss and Gawn.
