Redleg
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

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.

I was going to say something about that... along the lines of having ones cake and eating it too :rolleyes:

    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?

    Well it does matter if you get 2,3 or 4 if the bloke you want goes before your pick. Also if you wanted to trade your pick a higher pick is clearly worth more.

    I agree with your other proposition that we thought picks of themselves would save us. We now know there is much more to it, starting with getting the right players and then developing them.

    Don't be sorry about discussing football on this thread, it is such a great thread that we discuss football and other things as well.

    Well I've been bobbing around The top for a couple of months in a boat. No communication available, especially in NT. Got a AM radio signal today. It must have been country hour or something. Got the banana report. Melb 139000 cases, Sydney 147000 cases, Tasmania 3500 cases, Adelaide etc, etc. They give prices from the markets. Not fascinating, but maybe relevant? There is a different category for lady finger. Never had one of those.

    Well my big weekend in Bendigo turned to nothing.

    Five of us getting together.

    Friday one was down with flu, one broke his arm Thursday night, third one had to visit wife in hospital after fall from a golf cart.

    Yes you are reading correctly she fell out of golf cart.

    So the two of us left standing called the weekend early Saturday morning.

    After some discussion we are all on for next weekend.

    There seems to be a bit of sadness around tonight did we lose on Saturday or something.

    Great then what is all the gloom about?

    Seriously I have been thinking this for some months now but this the worst MFC side in my memory of 54 years bar none.

    I did not expect to win and I thought 10 - 12 would be the result.

    But I have to say 20 is returning to the Neeld days.

    took the MFC sticker off the car this morning, packed away the cap and scarf.

    Think I am just about done, there is more to life than the pain that is the MFC.

    That is what I told my son after the game. I basically said the season is over and we have to look forward to a new coach, more new mids and next year. You can't just keep beating yourself up every week over the performance of this team. He even went to Geelong and got absolutely drenched. I swore off Geelong after 186.

    It is just so bloody sad to see where we are at the moment. That said however I honestly believe 3 good mids could change things dramatically.

    Three Redleg!

    I think eight or nine might be closer to the mark.

    We currently have one afl standard mid fielder.

    The rest are either backman or forwards trying to fill holes.

    Honestly I see three years to make this team competitive.

    I doubt we will last that long.

    Can you promise 3 years od ?

    i might just cope with that, but i don't have your optimism

    Well it has been six dc and we are worse than 2007 so probably not but If I say more than three out loud

    I do some self harm.

    But like WCE I have put the cue in the rack for at least 2014

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
