Spirit of the Demon

Admins please note that I’m not encouraging anyone to bet, just providing the first 2022 premiership market as an item of public interest - $5.00 Melbourne $7.00 Western Bulldogs $8.00 Brisbane $9.00 Geelong, Port Adelaide $11.00 Richmond, Sydney $15.00 West Coast $17.00 GWS Giants $21.00 St Kilda $26.00 Fremantle, Essendon $34.00 Carlton $67.00 Adelaide, Collingwood $81.00 Hawthorn, Gold Coast $101.00 North Melbourne

We didn’t draft Dogga purely on potential alone. By the time we drafted him, he had represented WA at the Under 18 Championships for two seasons in a row (2018 & 2019) and had won under-18 All Australian selection as ruckman for the winning state in 2019. He also played for the East Fremantle Sharks Colts in those years. Before that he was in the WA Under 16s. Everyone regarded him as the prime young ruckman of the future and he weighed substantially more than 70kgs. Cheese and Chalk.

I had to sleep on this but could hardly do even that. 6. Max Gawn 5. Christian Petracca 4. Clayton Oliver 3. Jack Viney 2. Christian Salem 1. Kysiah Pickett

Before he does that, he might want to have a quiet chat with Isaac Smith.

Local footy umpires satisfied message sent in Toby Greene case

Huh …

… not to mention that it’s not a good look for football!!!!

Nothing in it.

Troy Simmonds got a nice whack in the windpipe too.

After seeing what a depleted GWS can do, it might not be such a big deal but the loss of Tex and injuries to Smith and Hamill tonight puts the Crows under the pump big time.

History will tell that the debut games of Jackson and Rivers were significant for Melbourne. Harley Bennell’s, less so.

According to this bloke on Twitter, one of the best for Vic Country in the Colgate game was Kobi George who is also a Melbourne NGA. Quite interesting that our NGAs are attracting attention at the moment.

6. Clayton Oliver 5. Tom McDonald 4. Christian Petracca 3. James Harmes 2. Christian Salem 1. James Jordan

My informants tell me he’s a bit one sided - on the left.

With all of the NGA selections, where will our pick 50 actually fall?

We don’t have 33 any more.

Tom Papley wasn’t a Casey player as such - just a Gippsland Power Under 18 player who filled in a few times at Casey.

The big question is what do you do in circumstances where due to the number of academy and father/son selections, your own first pick effectively sits in the early 30s? Do you give up on the draft this year and target specific players to fill your requirements or punt heavily in a field where there are a lot of unknown quantities?

I think there are only about eight players who would be assured of playing this week.

Braydon Preuss has injured his hip. To be tested before team selection tomorrow night.

Well, there’s every chance that it could be Braydon Preuss pitted up against Mason Cox. Now, that would be interesting.

That makes two of us. So upset that I just won’t go to the game on Sunday. Dammit!

Call of the season before it becomes a complete and utter shambolic embarrassment.

Remind me which team played West Coast this year on their home ground?

What I would give for a 113 point win against anybody?
