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.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
