Jay Lockhart should definitely be drafted by the Demons. Perhaps pick 50-65 range. Smart. Good size and skilled. Perfect backup for Jetta or can be a small lockdown mid.

Fuc$($n ridiculous wanted lions and Bombers to win 13 wins might not get us in !!! Need to beat Swans at a minimum

Balic must have really lost his spirit. He could have played in a premiership at Casey and would have been very very handy. Still you need your heart to be on the game.

I think it’s ins Kent. Vandenburg outs. Melksham Spargo

Assume Weideman is emergency for Hogan. Though 2 weeks without any footy would not be beneficial.

Crowd estimate this week 22,359

Not sure you have to bring in omcd. Tommy mcd was a very good defender with excellent competitive ability. Now switched to key forward. Omcd still under development.

6 Oliver 5 Brayshaw 4 Gawn 3 Anb 2 Harmes 1 t mcd

Likely no change I like to seee the team settled but agree perhaps Hogan rested and may put JKH back to Casey. Vanders might need at least another week at Casey to build up fitness so JKH may still in.

Big heart. Harmesy has developed into an essential hard player in our team. Will be a key to September. Great scalps in Selwood, Dangerfield & Sloane

Yes hope is alive. We need the finals this year to inspire true belief

Exactly jkh gave us nil. He panicked when he should have won the game i gave him the benefit of a chance but he is not afl standard move over and give Baker his deserved shot

Wow Libba (son of Tony) leaving the dogs. Have not heard that. Do we need another inside mid? its gaff gaff gaff for me go get our man back from the west

He has missed 11 games in 13 years including a stretch of 6 games last year he battled on pushing his body each week he does appear more battleworn but wills himself on Jonesy is not the one to be questioned right now imo

And Spargo jogging and Hogan’s poor effort and ANB little toe poke and Bernie Vs punch and Tracs bomb and Garlett snap and Jettas contest and .... you could be so judgemental in hindsight very poor to take shots at one of our true leaders and champions

Very harsh critics here. Disgraceful to be honest Nathan Jones has been a great player who has been loyal when others such as Frawley walked away when it got too tough Jonesy has consistently been in our best and held up the midfield through years of struggle His heart is huge. His commitment strong. His accuracy for goal and skills are right up there. He kicks on left and right. His tackling is A grade. 256 games 100 games as skipper he proudly wears the Number 2

Agree Joeboy was harsh and didn’t reflect on some of the positives but like most of us, deeply scarred by another frustrating loss that cuts like a knife through our red and blue veins

Ditto there were plenty of good signs imagine if Hogan had intensity for the contest

We must still focus on 2018 we need to learn to win the close ones its part of being a good side 2018 is still alive

In. Baker (or Vandenburg if fit) Keilty outs. Omcd jkh two debuts anb on notice lewis needs to lift ... leadership

Goodwin and MFC and 22 players responsible for this All of us are hurting and very fuc&$g frustrated no wonder it gets too much

Outs. Jkh. Omcd in. Baker and Keilty maybe find a spot for Vandenburg if match fit.

11 - 2017 loss to Pies in last round and miss from finals by 0.5% 12- 2015 loss to saints by 2 points. Demons go ahead with 20 seconds to play. Do not pack the backline. Saints get centre clearance and Montagna kicks goal with 2 seconds left. Ffs 13 - 2016 v Cats. 111 Point loss in round 22 to farewell paul Roos. Great way to say thanks.

Shattered petracca bomb - why jkh miss with 90 seconds to play- not care enough it was poor vince punch - should have marked it anb soft toe poke - get the footy you have to win the footy and keep it we lost our heads seriously

WB we agree jkh is finished
