Preview Changes/Preview v Carlton @MCG – Semi Final

[Dime A Dozen]

Have to think that this means Grundy will play right?

 

[Bluelegs]

100%, but take a look at our record drafting players, thats another Trent Rivers we missed out on apparently. Wouldn't you like another Trent Rivers?

Don't worry. MFC playing trade week like the stock market with a killer pump and dump move on Grundy. Watch that pick 27 turn into pick 11

Gawn playing injured is never good, honestly think he shouldn't play but perhaps he could be more of a threat forward than our other options I don't know, we are cooked again with injuries.

He cant play this week if thats the case. Wrap that man in cotton wool, no training, no nothing, avoid injury at all costs.

Think of Grundy like a vintage figurine; loses value the moment you take it out of the packet.

 

[demondavey]

We can’t lose to Carlton, even with a plodding forward line. Jesus. 4 finals losses in consecutive years is woefully bad. There’s talk we are into Harry McKay

in the off season. We have the picks.

Please no.

Don’t rate?

If he were a free agent I'd look at him but he'd cost two first rounders minimum and a ton of cap space. Has way too many deficiencies to spend that sort of capital on. We can't isolate players deep so he'd be pretty useless for us since he can't kick a simple drop punt.

Would rather get Chol a bit cheaper as he can play the forward ruck role then focus on a really good draft.

 

[Dory_77]

Yeah watching McKay spray set shots from 15m out makes Fritta's effort from 50 look brilliant. Could be a great player but too hot or cold for mine to be worth the picks/cap space he'd take up getting here.

Fair hit.

Chol and JVR next year might work ok.

 

[demondavey]

Jacob Koschitzke?

 

[Bluelegs]

Them plus a fit Petty would totally shape us up forward. No more grunt work in the ruck for JVR, just let him play his natural game. Add McAdam to that and it starts to look a lot better.

Retire Tmac and Brown if we can and find someone who can move and hit a contest from the VFL as depth.

Just brain storming names…

Would be such a panic move. Just change the ****ing game plan. That doesnt cost you multiple picks and cap space.

 

[Pee Tear Griffin]

This is going to sound weird but even if we did manage to fluke the flag this year playing this boring style of footy, strangling out a few 65 - 58 style wins, it’d be hard to actually get excited about it. I’d be like “oh great but that fk that’s over.”

I’d actually prefer a side that plays footy the proper way to win it.

This is the most ridiculous shit I've ever read. How any Demons fan could think like this is beyond me.

Christ almighty I ****ing hate most of you campaigners on this board.

 

[danster168]

honest question guys, did we fly the flag enough throughout the Maynard ordeal? I thought we were a little weak. hopefully this week there a bit more fight in us

 

[demondavey]

Honestly, whatever changes are made are irrelevant. This club should be spurred on by the fact Brayshaw is potentially finished as a player. We’ve got an incident that is on the nose and then the prick Maynard arrives with bloody tulips and vino to soften the blow. If Brayshaw didn’t tip it down the sink then May has pinched the bottle.

He also calls Mrs Brayshaw and she probably tells him to **** off. Honestly, if that doesn’t give us the impetus to win then we are pretty soft as a club. At a minimum we need to end Carlton and give ourselves a chance on the road.

 

[demondavey]

No we didn’t. It should have been an all out Donnybrook that was aimed at totally rattling Collingwood. No surprise that Viney had a good go. If it means thousands in fines but we beat Collingwood, great. I’ll write a cheque contributing.

Not enough was done. And of all clubs, ****en Collingwood.

Generally teams who are more focused on fighting than playing lose.

Well Collingwood would not have taken it lying down. I am not saying fight all game, but Jesus, at least get a decent melee going for a while.

Grundy redemption arc? Comes in, we win the next 3 including Pies Grand Final

 

[Scythe94]

In case this didn't already feel like the ending to 2022
