No- if anyone deserves to be there who isn't it's Jordie Mckenzie.

Can we try and get Mitch Clark on the banner without taking anyone down

As much as I am rapt with his signing he won't make it onto the banner this year. Next year is a different story and we will see how he goes.

loving the new site demonland!!

But feeling naked without green in the banner, any chance of adding him?

Let him earn the spot first.

While there isn't much to talk about maybe turn it into a comp. For users to design and users to vote. Winner gets an annual membership for free and bragging rights...

Not that I'm advocating putting him on there, but Green has earned his spot more than all but 1-2 of the guys on the banner IMO.

Ok then, get rid of all of them except Jimmy.

The rest have done nothing.

Possibly, but if we (The Club) wish to rise up the ladder Brad Green has got to influence results against Top Sides.

The last time i recall he did that was against Carlscum in 2000....A Harsh Call i know...but make him earn it before he gets acolades.

Green has played his best football since 2005 - 7 seasons of which 5 of them have been horrible. He has been at his best (save for this year) when we've been at our worst - that's a sign of more than just how bad we've been.

Make him earn it before he gets accolades? Are you out of your mind? The guys has played 12 seasons at the club and 12 months ago he was made captain. In 12 months he may well retire.

To say he hasn't influenced a game against a top side since 2000 is some of your best work.

Not the least bit ridiculous is that you claim someone who has never worn red and blue in any capacity on match day for the Dees has done more to deserve said accolades.

Which games against Top Sides has Brad Green dominated 45 apart from the 200 Qualifying Final?

You say it is some of my best work to ask the question....I say this clubs supporters have been too easy too often on good but not great players.

There you go, do some of your own research for once.

which bits did i ignore....elaborate please, i read it all twice then replied.

How old were you in '87 & '88 do you still feel the pain and embarrassment of those years, or have you just read about them?

Can you do me the favour of re-reading your posts twice before posting?

I can't express the groan I gave when you tried to play the age card in a completely meaningless off topic manner. I look forward to the next instalment.

I still think it should be Jimmy, the Coach and the top (on current format, 7) players from the Bluey for this year... that way, you feature the best performed players for the year.

You were too young weren't you.

You were too young weren't you.

I'm 24.

That must be the only reason I'm foolish enough to think that Brad Green's 12 seasons, one year as captain and 241 games make him more worthy of "accolades" than;

Mark Neeld: 0 games

Jack Trengove: 37

James Frawley: 82

Nathan Jones: 114

Liam Jurrah: 35

and Jack Watts: 40

308 games combined for those 6 individuals. There's probably 6-7 years between them as good as Green's were from '05-'10. On a one-one basis I'd probably rate him equal with Moloney and ahead of Jamar's 2 good seasons and 110 games.

But please, ignore logic and include some rant about accepting mediocrity and living through supporting during the lean years.

Posted

I'm amenable to including someone's father on the banner.

Perhaps Nathan Jones' father because he spilt blood for the club a few years ago. That's got to be worth more than the $200k the other bloke gets for spotting talent.

Posted

No- if anyone deserves to be there who isn't it's Jordie Mckenzie.

I reckon the bloke who has won the last two coaches award and the Heart and Soul in '10 deserves to be on it.

Dark horse for Captain. Get on board Andy.

Hey guys,

This isn't up for further discussion. The banner is finalised for the coming year. The players chosen are not all there for theit ability. Some are there for "branding" or "popularity". Others are there or not there due to availability of high resolution images or the "poses" they are in. Others are there or not there as a result of being there or not being there before. Next year others will get a chance, some will stay and some will go. If everyone got their say we'd have 30 players on the banner.

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
