Preview Sydney Swans vs Melbourne Demons, Saturday May 8 @ MCG

[Big Blood]

We're at 3.66 now Buddy and probably Rampe are playing.

 

[SBD Gonzalez]

it's only stupid if you lose ...
$4.20 triffic odds, melbourne due a loss and played like it on the weekend ...

Well you keep punting and I’ll keep investing in the stock market and let‘s talk again in twenty years.

Taylor was judged not to have a place at Brisbane going back to 2019, a rapidly improving team, not completely unlike ourselves this year so far. It's not just last year his critics are basing it on. We've got him until end of next year anyway, but unless he dominates at ressies (instead of racking up touches without doing anything special) and makes a certain role his own, then we should play kids with more potential (and showing ressies form) in front of him.

I think he was brought in as depth. Right age profile. Can play mid/forward. We did have a lot of young players and would probably need chop outs. Injuries could occur. He was insurance. As I said right age profile. But our young recruits have excelled and he is largely not needed. We paid too much insurance.

Fritsch will get two weeks IMO at the MRP.

Fritsch out is a big out!!

 

[adam waite]

If I was a betting man I’d get onto that.

But I’m not a betting man because I know betting is stupid so forget I said anything.

What! Surely you have been convinced by those relentless ads for betting apps. Mark Wahlberg is making a killing with Ladbrokes betting on anthing that moves. Brown keeps cropping up pre game to give the odds. You cant lose. stuff the kids and the mortgage im in!

Medium impact and the kid didn't come back on the ground after the incident. Yet in the VFL McCartin is seen as severe and the player played out the remainder of the game. Just bizarre.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

There we are 1 week as expected

Medical scans maybe?

Thought the same thing.
That elbow to the head was brutal.

McCartins slap was stupid but let’s be honest, Black looks like he deserved it.

Appears I was mistaken. Powell apparently played on.

Take the fact that it was a Sydney related player no way McCartin wasn’t being graded severe.

A week is right for Fitch who played a great game anyway. Powell showed no signs.

He did. Came off for observation but played on. Medium is right.

 

[Ticky009]

Kind of ticked off I can't make this one - Top 4 clash and all. Dammit!!

Pre-Covid I've managed to make it to the G for the last 3 matches we've played the Dees. If work hadn't been so crazy I'd have had my hotel & tickets booked, conversely it probably saved me a fortune in cancellations. Sigh.

Real estate averages 8% growth p.a. All depends on the interest you pay.

That's the nature of insurance. You never know until afterwards.

 

[mattpolo8]

Wouldn’t bother playing Franklin this week. We will be too tall

I think they will play Weideman so they will be equally as tall

And some lego sets have a growth of 11% but who gives a *

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Highly doubt they will. Ascot is they looked tall last week and only got better when they moved one of them out of the forward line.

Obviously you do.

I was actually a bit disappointed at the “Buddy back” news.

Like Ben Brown coming into the Demons, or Cameron into the Cats - the introduction of a new “demanding” forward upsets the team cohesion for a while.

Buddy is an asset if he plays consistently. But if he appears sporadically, I see it as a problem.

 

[mattpolo8]

Highly doubt they will. Ascot is they looked tall last week and only got better when they moved one of them out of the forward line.

Perhaps. But I don't think they will play him in the VFL for the 3rd time after having 2 really good games. I'd be more worried about him then Brown tbh. Think Weideman comes in for Fritsch and T Mac goes back. Viney is also likely to miss. Harmes will come in for him.

The Dees board is hilarious. The whole first page has no mention of Fritsch out. Now they say Weid for him. Spargo for Viney. Petty for Tomlinson. A weaker team then what it was v North.

I hope they do play them we will burn them on the outside. Brown wouldn’t even know what defence is.

Viney I believe is out for a few weeks with a toe injury. Weiderman seems to be the option for Fritsch.
