Exactly what we need!


Tolstoys Nudge

Recommended Posts

Yes, I know its been said before, but I still think its intersesting, especially with Gill's performance today!

we need a quality target up forward:

Nick Gill, what a great game he had today, 20 disp, 11 marks, 5 goals!

A good solid ruckman who can kick goals:

Darren Jolly

A midfielder who can play inside & outside, and hurt the opostion by foot, and kick goals:

Scott Thompson (still hurts I know, but was always gonna go..)

A midfielder/flanker, who has quality finishing and good disposal:

Travis Johnstone (still a good trade in hindsight, but, still..)

An older staunch defender, to lead and help develop the Garland, Martin/Warnock Brigade:

Nathan Bassett

Notice a common theme here guys?

Aint hindsight a wonderful thing...:)

Bit of tongue and cheek, but very interesting none the less!!

And don't forget, a little off track, as he was never a demon, but the Sewell for Ferguson trade (which WE backed out of, at last second, no matter what others have heard, thats what happened, Fergy wanted to stay, so we gave it up.. still really grates at me, but what are ya gonna do..

I'm not even going to bother pointing out the series of errors you've made, since this crap has all been done before.

But I think its fair to say that your post is not rated highly.

LOl!

Relax mate..

I said its tongue and cheek!!

and there are no errors!

I know its been said before, but Gill just looked so good today, I wanted to express it! :)

Even if you are wrong often enough, it still doesn't make it right.

Yeah, sure thing mate?

You guys the gestapo huh? :)

The point is, I find it amusing that they are all pretty much what we need!

The moves were right at the time, I acknowlege that, Im not even saying I want them back, merely that its ironic!

GEEZ! its a post on a board, relax..

Im not here trying to earn your so called "high rating".. what a high school comment..

Were supporters of the MFC, im sick of all this badgering, no real need for it!

ESP in this case..

Mate, do an ex-Freo team

Lloyd, Mcphee, White, Phil Matera, Jeff Farmer, Peter Bell, Trent Croad, Andrew Mcleod, James Clement, Paul Medhurst and pick 8, Polak, Simmonds, Brodie Holland and Jess Sinclair

Yes, i know about Farmer and Bell, but this still makes great reading

Yes, I agree..

But this is a demons board!

We actually havent given away that many players, thus ironic the few we have, are what we need, thats my point!

i probabbly wouldn't have put travis johnstone in their myself, he was a bit of a high hoper for himself, in other words, when he was bad, he was absolutely crap! But when he was good, he was a chris judd...

Not in Chris Judd's orbit.

If you're going to defend you innane "point" then you're more silly than i thought, i thought you were having a laugh.

Hear Hear.

well, I sorta was, I was being very tongue & cheek!

But I got on the back foot because some people are just seriously frustrated in life, thus they seem to wanna shoot others down so quickly, its quite amusing in itself!

PS:

Lookup the word innane, before u mis-use it again! :)

I'll use the word idiotic then.

You cannot speak rubbish, then pass it off as "tongue in cheek" and then get "on the back foot"

Basically you want people to read your post, laugh at you and the complete lack of substance you've put forward, before realising it's just "tongue in cheek" and not be critical of you? You can't be serious. To what end would you like the thread to have gone? People "shot you down" because your post was useless

Much of what you say is inane, and that is something that is "1. lacking sense, significance, or ideas; silly: inane questions.

2. empty; void. 3. something that is empty or void, esp. the void of infinite space"

You'll probably get a laught then that in the Age's match report votes, aside from Morton topping the list, Armstrong was WC's best... listed as

7 Armstrong (Melb)

Now thats funny.

Was one of the few Eagles to put in and was clearly their best.

Was pretty poorly treated by our previous Coach in my opinion.

How was he treated badly?

He wasn't very good and so we delisted him. Did he want a gold watch?

Armstrong was OK on the weekend, but I don't think he any certainty to stay on West Coast's list next year. Actually, I'd say the odds are against him.

Completely agree.

Armstrong reminds me of Godfrey's performances. People rave when is a 3/10 and the rest of team is 2/10.

Nevertheless AFL has richly reward Armas for being a fringe player.

I think he was treated badly in not getting the chances I thought he deserved. He was often the first one dragged and played mainly in that ball magnet position of permanent forward pocket.

In my opinion Armstrong was much better than OK on the weekend. He was very good.

I am not saying he is the next Judd and he probably didn't ask for a gold watch either, he actually got a gold premiership medallion, lucky as he probably was.

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak
