Preview Melbourne Demons v Brisbane Lions Semi Final (Friday 9 September 7:50PM @MCG)

[Thomasno]

Wasn’t allowed to announce his retirement.

Why would he not be allowed to?

 

[Thomasno]

Well say we win this week and 2 guys get rubbed out and another 2 get injured.

The season's not over till it's over and you never know what might happen.

But Mundy and Lambert are (or were in Lamberts case) still playing after saying this is it.

 

[Thomasno]

Love the side. This is a massive gamble as it should be. If we win this, we go on to the win the flag because belief will no longer be a problem. If we get smashed again by doing what needs to be done, well this group is done and we have to then wait until the mini-rebuild is ready in 2-3 years.

I don’t even believe the last sentence to be honest. You’d be surprised what happens next year with: Hipwood not playing off a fresh ACL recovery,
Daniher post-shoulder surgery not playing like he’s trying to avoid dislocating his shoulder at any given moment
Ashcroft +/- Dunkley
Hopefully Adams back and fit
Plus anybody else we bring in
