Not to mention the 2 most horrific words in AFL sportMay has played one game for the Demons this year. And played poorly in that game. Not sure when he'll play game #2 ... and he's overweight. Poor recruiting decision by MFC.

Very interesting to see lately as well a role change in Miller. I haven't got the numbers to support this, but over the past two weeks he hasn't been involved as much in the midfield? He still gets in and handballs out and puts on pressure which is great, but he seems to be involved less on the spread and not kicking as much. Which is really good since he is a shocking short kick.I think 7 rounds in we're seeing the difference in footballing ability between Swallow and Miller
There was some discussion around this at the time of the Captaincy decision
I know a few people saw Touk going past Dave but I've never believed Touk has the gear to do that
Dave can extract, play on the outside and run and carry, and even bob up and take a contested mark now and then
He's the closest thing we have to Bont Fyfe and Cripps
Touk is courageous and a great ball winner but not in the same class as Davey

I see him a lot more playing forward. Which again, I think is good considering his main trait is pressure and chasing.
There were crutches next to him after Eagles game. He probably carries injury.There has definitely been a change in his role past 2 weeks
Your thoughts are interesting because even when Touk has been in the votes he has nearly lost us games with kicking out of defence or on the spread
All mids have a high clanger and lower DE rate for obvious reasons- they're always under pressure but Touk seems to find opposition players for turnover ball more than most
Has he had a role switch with Holman or McPherson?
Yes, interesting observation Sunny
Love both Dave and Touk but not a fan of either of their kicking skills. Dave just seems to hold his own a bit better than Touk against those bigger A Grade mids like Oliver, Brayshaw, etc. Not surprising given Touk is a smaller mid. And to think we had Oliver in the palm of our hands before Clayton outsmarted himself.
FWIW, I think a draw would have been a fair result.
In the end, experience got the Demons home - Gawn/Viney/Macdonald ...
He's that pooch you bring home from the poundHolman has far exceeded my expectations this year. I think he could actually be a very good B grade long term player for us. Such a hustler.

"I'd love to tell you what I really thought, but I don't want a 20k fine"I noticed in the press conference Dew was asked about a couple of decisions and replied “ I can understand why you would be asking but I’m not allowed to answer that”
Clearly alluding to how crap those decisions were.
Definitely a different role for Miller over the last few weeks. I think we will see this a lot with our young midfield this year.Very interesting to see lately as well a role change in Miller.

And I think that's one of the things we can take from this. Apart from the crows/brisbane game, there hasn't been thrashings like last year. The fire is burning in them. They are improving.Unfortunately i watch the match with some Dees supporters. Disappointed like everyone but man that is so much better than losing by 100 last year vs Melbourne.
It used to be so embarrassing on a monday morning to show my face to my mates after another 100 point loss. As much as yesterday sucked it was great to see how we're restricting scores. I certainly got a little too excited after that Holman goal.And I think that's one of the things we can take from this.

Yeah, me too..Pretty sure I screamed watching it on Kayo. Then the last 30 seconds.. Such a shame. But that will get better. Keeping the lead. But the fact they got to that point against Melbourne who is clearly more experienced and bigger bodies, says something.It used to be so embarrassing on a monday morning to show my face to my mates after another 100 point loss.

i know your talking about me.Actually about last night I was not happy with the way our players, fans and interchange bench way over celebrated the goal that took us to 60-54.
Anyone that’s lived the true GC Sporting life would know that having your heart ripped out is always on the cards and is the natural state of being.
We are the worst team at the lockdown.
I cannot tell you how many times I’ve heard Dean Solomon yelling out 1min left or 40s left and see sending that message sent out end woefully.
