    Re: AFL Game Day R17 - 2024

    God I love Windsor for the Demons.

    Got it all. Speed, endurance, kicks goals, defends.

    Talk about evolution. They're really doing it.

    With our slow midfield, not sure why we thought Sanders would be a better choice.

      Doing what? Beating the Eagles on their home deck in perfect conditions and by 9 goals.

      Three games ago we destroyed Fremantle by a lot more goals than Melbourne beat the eagles.

      Eagles are bottom 3 Dockers top 3.

      You also it is way too early to compare Windsor and Sanders.
      More of an In Bruges guy?

        They are changing their side mid stride.

        Loads of really talented kids being injected into their side and contributing.

        Agree nothing to brag about v the Eagles.

        Van Rooyen, Windsor, McVee, Tholstrup, Rivers, Turner all major contributors.

        It's not too early! We compare kids from the same draft all the time. I'm ok doing that. I think Windsor suits the modern game better, i also think Sanders will be a good player.

          Would you trade English compo to saints for Marshall?

            Melbourne are the masters of list management and talent ID recently.

            I would argue we are changing our team also.

            Darcy = Van Rooyen
            Sanders = Windsor
            Freijah = McVee
            Turner is the same age as JUH.
            Gallagher = Tholstrup.

            When we win our new players look ok, when we lose they do not. Exactly the same as Melbourne.

            Rivers does not belong in that group though. He has played almost 100 games.

            Funnily enough Melbourne supporters are just as frustrated as us!

              This is interesting the way the Swans are structuring up almost man on man (not quite) to stop the Saints chipping through them.

                I put Rivers in there as he's changed role into the midfield and he's only 22.

                Agree we are doing it, I just didn't realise they were. It's the double evolution. What bingo word are they using? Or are they even referring to it I need to find out.

                    Heeney Brownlow gone.

                    He clocked Webster will have to be gone.

                        LOL. Rivers = Richards - the half back who has gone into the mids.
                        What should I tell her? She's going to ask.

                            Should we have chased Liam Henry?

                                How impressive was that Sinclair ground ball get in the corridor leading to the Marshall miss?

                                Geez McDonalds had a rough couple of weeks.
