Dees Quick Tall Timber

Featured Replies

Posted

Really interesting to see our push in past few years for height, speed and skills with adaptability.

Guys like Fitzpatrick, Watts, Jurrah, Martin, Davis are all super quick and tall. Could be a pretty frightening side to match up on in a few years.

OUR TALLS.....

Gawn 208

Spencer 203

Fitzpatrick 200

Martin 198

Jamar 198

Watts 196

Cook 196

Warnock 194

McDonald 194

Newton 193

Frawley 193

Rivers 192

Morton 192

Dunn 192

Davis 192

Bate 192

Garland 191

Howe 190

Gysberts 190

MacDonald 188

Jurrah 188

 

There is an "average height of a premiership player" and I'm pretty sure we were well under that when Bailey came on board.

Makes sense too.

Wasn't the only thing we were under when Bailey came on board

 

Who would win in a race???? Love to line them all up and see who would win. Steph Martin, Jack Watts and Chip Frawley (after his run agaist Jetta) would be up there.


Gawn could still get bigger......

All of a sudden our list has become massive. We have been a small team for a long while now, and while we have had some talls come and go, they have often been your Holland type bigs who are big but also slow. We now have talls that can run.... scary thought.

So roughly half of our senior list is 190cm or taller. With Viney on board we should be putting together some pretty effective defensive zones down the track especially as the new recruits have the mobility and speed.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
