  1. Agree no change. But Spargo was overawed and the heat will rise up next week. Not sure if any replacement stands out. Garlett not in form but has the pace to worry the dawks and Jkh didn’t fully take his chance. Jkh tackles do stick more than Spargo.
  2. I agree. Hit the body hard. Cut off the supply to the outside. Though our goal kicking MUST improve
  3. Omg. Drama at its finest. I was screaming KICK IT. KICK IT. KICK IT. Then YOU F$&((N BEAUTY!!!
  4. Round 4 it was the darkest day of the year 5 goals to 2. Demons led at 25 minute mark of Q1. End 6 goals to 18. Hawks got 16 out of last 17 goals. What happened? 1- hawks pressure led to panic 2- fumbles v clear handling (especially in the wet after half time) 3- danger men - Gunston, Roughead, Breust, Shiels, Omeara, Smith , Puopolo (Mitchell was held but is always dangerous). 4- Clarkson held a player behind the play and a mini flood of our running game. Aka Richmond style. They counter attacked perfectly. (We cannot get exposed again and clangers will kill us) 5- kicking for goal. We missed set shots but they nailed everything we are a better team now. Bring on Friday night.
  5. Lewis was very good last night. Won the 1v1s and controlled space. Outmarked only twice all night. Two fumbles but most did on occasion. One turnover but overall effective disposal. Keep our minds focussed. Excellent pickup still imo.
  6. Hopefully all good after last night. Gawn is clearly battle worn. Need to physio to work overtime this week Spargo and Fritsch looked fatigued but hard to change a winning team.
  7. Dangerfield was a 5. We controlled him all night. Got the pill but was grounded in impact.
  8. Yehhhhhhhh Harmes Viney Oliver and Jetta are as fierce as any who have worn the red and blue Weid is a star big Maxy is a legend vanders is a brute frosty you beauty lewis experience is a crucial part of our success But need more from Spargo Anb Tyson

    Excellent game. Proved many posters wrong. I’ve supported him but was worried he would move on if behind Hogan and tommy mcd. Will play a key role next week but not to consume his own bathwater
  10. 6 Harmes 5 Oliver 4 Gawn 3 Brayshaw 2 Weideman 1 Jetta Salem was prolific but wasted many kicks and had 5-6 shocking turnovers. He missed 3 shots that could have easily been goals.
  11. Worst game of the year both teams are disgraceful
  12. 1 goal 10 behinds mire than half very easy
  13. 1st efficient tackling kick straight pressure richmond like 2nd slip tackles Typical entries wasted again, spargo anb jones Petracca and Melksham poor poor goal kicking try to much in traffic Tyson Petracca jones unable to stop central corridor
  14. Typical entries wasted again anb and Melksham poor
  15. Changes v Round 18 game outs. Garlett j Smith Vince. Jkh. Hogan ins. Viney. Hannan. Vdberg. Weideman. Hibberd
  16. Jake Lever is a huge in
  17. You want fairness and equality Gill and Eddies AFL is not the place Interstate teams (academy) and mega powers (free agency) get the sweet deals and the draw ... wow that’s biased in so many ways
  18. FINALS ARE DIFFERENT EXPECT HEAT. PHYSICAL HEAT. EXPECT GAWN AND OLIVER TO BE TARGETED CUTOFF THEIR HEAD (Gawn) WILL BE THE CATS PLAN BRING IT ON BUT DEMONS MUST BE DUSCIPLINED AND NOT LOSE OUR HEADS. EYES ON THE FOOTY. TACKLES THAT STICK.
  19. Bedford could be nominated at 40+ which we would match. But not top 25.
  20. free agent Andrew Gaff obviously trades 1. Sam Hayes for Jkh trade or Tom Cutler for Jkh trade 2. Need to get to 4 picks (33, 43, 51, 56) Suns Pick 56 for Tom Bugg Either the above option rather than delisting Bugg and Jkh which would happen post trade period. 3. Tom Campbell (dogs) for MFC pick 88
  21. Prefer Tom Campbell. 27yo is 200cms 106cms mature body ready to step in if needed. 6 years at Bulldogs. 42 games. May stay at Dogs if Roughead leaves. I think a left field call for Tom Goodwin. 27yo son of Andy Goodwin. 200cms 111 kgs. Captain Coburg Lions. Would be perfect as a ruck backup and leader at Casey.
  22. An inspiration His presence and best wishes to the boys is enough. He doesn’t need to say a word. His heart is as big as the MCG
  23. Proudly wearing my scarf to work this morning. A few smiles from possibly other Dees fans
  24. The obvious stop Dangerfield Selwood Ablett Hawkins The danger types stop Kelly Duncan and Menzel from hitting the scoreboard The tactic stop Geelong from playing a tiger like man behind the play the targets to isolate Bews Guthrie Henry Parfitt Kolodgdjniji O’Connor Abbott (their bottom 6-7) TEAM FOCUS ARE - PRESSURE PRESSURE PRESSURE GOALKICKING ACCURACY DISCIPLINE AND COMPOSURE
