Redleg
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

I went though our list last night I came up with the following list of players that I would shed in the next few weeks.

Now there are a couple on here that may be unlucky because they are out of contract.

In no particular order

Jetta, Nicholson, Gillies, Tynan, Davis, Sellar and the following retirees in Roden, J Mac and Davey.

Nine in total.

If there was a chance I would trade out any of Jamar, Tappscott, Bail, Blease, Byrnes Pedersen and Strauss.

Unfortunately there is probably only Jamar that would attract interest and then not much in value for the MFC.

What is everyone's opinion.

    IMO I wouldn't delist someone like Tynan who is still young and developing, same for Taggert.

    Flash, Joel Mac and Rodan have retired.

    I would delist/trade Jetta, Gillies, Byrnes, Bail, Sellar if you keep Pedersen, Tapscott, Nicholson, Jamar and Strauss.

    I would keep Blease and develop him. I would give Davis another year unless you were offered a trade.

    That is 12 players, that is a big turnover on the senior list.

    Rookies Magner and Couch are probably also gone.

    I seriously doubt it would be 12 Redleg, like you I think that is too many in one hit.

    To get rid of 12 you have to find 12 that are better 6 to 8 maybe achievable but I doubt 12.

    I think he was suggesting a possible trade bb

    But seriously who would be interested?

    We have seven I would like to trade but I doubt there would be more than one taker.

    Jamar might get a little interest but that is about it.

    Byrnes off the list, is a non negotiable for me.

    Now for more good News the Mighty Falcons are playing for a spot in the WAFL Grand final on Sunday.

    I am hoping for more good wins for the red and blue war machine.

    Amen to that TBF

    Are you going?

    PS The mighty Norwood Redlegs are on top by two games and percentage with one game to go.

    Looking good.

    I am not sure if I can get there this week end as the wife away at her gold mine so may not head home this week end.

    But will watch it on TV if I can.

    I remember driving for 24 hours to see them win the 1995 Flag (previous win was 1975) and they were the underdogs. How great is a Grand Final win especial when it takes a few years to achieve!

    The Falcons finished second but one win more then the second and four teams.

    Claremont has always been our boggy team (Jessie Hogan is from Claremont).

    Is it too much to ask for a real coach at the MFC and a Flag in the WAFL all in the same year?

    I tend to always support any team that has Blue and Red regardless of the sport.

    The venom against us by the other clubs in respect to the PP is just amazing.

    Brad Scott could barely control himself.

    Eddie said we need to get rid of it and just have an equal competition. You are 100% right Eddie. From now on every team gets 2 friday nights. Pies have to play at Skilled stadium every year. Pies play in Perth twice each year and no more 18 games at the G. Pies play at 4.40 against an interstate side on mother's day.

    Yeah Eddie lets make it a fair competition.

    He from Collingwood do we care what those guys say?

    I have little time for that Club ever since they carried on little spoilt children after a GF loss to the Brisbane Bears and would not let a player attend their Fairest & Best Awards Night because he want to go home to his family.

    But the day they beat us by 80 points and then their thugs, I mean Supporters, beat up the father of one of our young players, now that will live in my memory forever.

    Class Act Eddie, now go and FO and tell someone who cares what you think, because none of us in MFC do!

    Think I will sent a picture of our Premiership Cup to Eddie for an Xmas Present in a few years time.

    They are the worst Club Ever and I want Roos to give us a team that will Smash them in every game we play them.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
