Redleg

Recommended Posts

My nomination is choc éclair with fresh cream - none of that sugary pretend stuff.Mr Leg if you are interested being up in the Sunshine State, we have a nice heavy 10 track at Sandown on Wednesday - perfect for wunderhorse Briefed.

He was nominated for the 1300 m race but didn't accept. I will check out when he is racing next and let you know.

Surely you have something better to do with your time than worry about the best thread on Demonland.

Good luck with your grandson's lightning premiership day.

Runners up to Bentleigh with the consolation being the fact that the winners are called the Demons and wear the famous Red and Blue.

A 7-8 at Sandown is his go. Now working at the beach which is freshening him up.

Cor it would be a bit nippy down the beach. We may be meeting at ten paces in the mounting yard! I think though we may have found our secret weapon = bananas. For me not him - this horse racing caper is a bit hard on the nervous system.

Get used to it.

Is this just me?

I find that I am now accepting of losing, Weekends come and go I know we will lose it is only the size of the loss that changes.

I am rapidly losing interest in which player was our best, how did certain players go.

I can never remember being this detatched.

This Saturdays match is a perfect example, we have not beaten North or won at the dome of death for so long I cannot remember a win. We all know the result and do I care in 2013 not really.

This Saturday I am off the country to see my old side that I played for long ago and meet a few old cronies.

Good weekend coming up I hope.

I find myself hoping that the Saints win another game so that at worst we have pick 2 and at best pick 1 &. 3.

I want to finish 16th Redleg if that means the third pick and no priority so be it.

I Want this club to win every game possible and then work out what picks we get.

First half of the season was Neeld smashing going on everywhere, second half of the season has been very quiet.

Now I'm just bored, and need some footy excitement.

Concentrate on Hawthorn, Geelong or the Pies for the next two months Jman!

Does it really matter?

We could get some draft assistance at the end of the year but it's hardly likely to be a #1 PP with the AFL's primary protected species GWS finishing last. Whether we get pick 2, 3 or even 4 won't make a great deal of difference in this year's draft.

And who knows? If we lose more games, there's nothing to stop someone with an agenda from going to Robbo at the Hun with a convoluted story about players being rested or played out of position and next thing you know, there's a double page spread alleging that it's all proof that the club committed crimes against humanity. Nothing suspicious about St. Kilda leaving Riewoldt and one or two others out of their side to play the Dockers a few weeks ago or the Doggies losing 10 in a row in a vain bid to finish with picks 3 & 4 in last year's draft.

No, we must go all out to win every game because its mathematically possible for us to finish 11th and if Essendon and two others lose their points for some, as yet, undiscovered misdemeanor, we'll be seeing action in September.

Don't think I said anything about us losing put rather the Saints winning.

You are clearly not serious when you say it doesn't matter what draft pick we have. People are committing crimes against humanity as you mention to improve their draft position.

What about WCE players going in for ops eg Nic Nat.

Would they be having them if they were still a chance to make the finals?

Another scandal over looked.

Redleg we have got lots of early draft picks over the last seven years and what has it achieved?

Bugger all.

Forget wether we get position 1,2, 3, 4 or 10

Choice better and develop them better that is the answer not the position in the draft.

With respect OD you can't be serious. Just because we stuffed up previously doesn't mean we wouldn't want the best picks available.

Every club in the competition wants the best picks available. I agree you then want to make the right choices.

I am serious to the extent Redleg that we have seemingly been fixated on early draft picks.

It seems to me that we had this view that all we had to do was get early picks and problems solved.

The result was we picked some shockers over a five period and ended up with tanking problems and a crap list.

Does it really matter wether you get 2,3 or 4?

History repeating itself there.

WCE finished last a few years ago, got their early pick and zoomed up the ladder.

Nobody at the AFL noticed because there was no investigation.

I'm being serious when I say it's more important for us to get the draft assistance by way of a mini draft or a priority pick which would give us two early picks and possibly a midfielder with experience than whether we end up with pick 2, 3 or 4. One of those picks should give us a quality young midfielder anyway and, in any event, we have no control over whether St. Kilda wins one or more games so it doesn't worry me.

Sorry to be discussing football on this thread by the way.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.
