8-7 win and out of form. Reid, Smith and Shuey will need to pull their finger out next week v The Wreckers.

In fact, the changes may have to come early and they can be held accountable, won't stand for that crap and cost me % big time. Could have buried Mr Mind Games JCB.

SMaRT move that.

2.8 and 2.4 in two successive weeks has been the return. FMD. Not good enough.

HT Hurricanes brains trust need a re-think and we're 3-2 after 5.

Will listen to trades people. Several of my players on notice. Send the offers through.

I think you have a great list, but I agree need some forwards,you are an excellent coach .Having a good ruckman as well as Kruezer really helps big time.I hope to meet you again in the finals.Best of luck for the rest of the year.Without crying, loosing Hille, in the first week, Ball & Gray also out for the year - all in the first 5 weeks has been hard.However, one thing has been good for me-.I am out there well in front in the Tipping.

I reckon you have a great list to HT

Even if it is killing me that your best 2 players to date where originally drafted by myself.

Definate lesson Pre-Season - All that glitters ain't always GOLD

As for you JCB - Prepare to lock horns in a last man standing battle this weekend Old Foe.

I am really just hoping to field a full team for the 1st time in 3 weeks.

I am always concerned playing you, you also have a great list when fit and furthermore you are a great coach.My list doesn't seem to be up to it.Trying hard to get it together but it's lacking.

OMR!! You were agonising? I totally thought you'd just forgotten.

I'm willing to pay more than just IM and DH for SM. I can put more on the table?

Dappa dan - No I was mulling this over from all angles - This really was a tough decision

I am a never say never sort of guy, what else did you have in mind?

I think you are crazy if you let Mummy go.You still have 14 rounds to go.Need to keep your list together.

As you see I have made many changes to my list and still cannot get it together.Let's have a good match.

Your probably correct JCB - Mumford is a huge piece of my lineup.

However yet again looks like Hit Outs is going to be the difference.

With your 5 players to come today, i am calling the scoreline 8 - 7 in your favour

I will check again tonight @ 7.00 to see how it unfolded.

Poor list management and forgetting to press submit on my lineup before heading to bendigo without technology will lead to me losing poorly this week!

Exactly as I predicted 7 Hours earlier

I was leading 11 - 4 when I made the call

Well done JCB - Your season is back on track, its a loooong way back for me from here.

Fortunately I won't have the first waiver this week for a change! :)

That J.Griffin delisting will go down as the worst coaching decision of the year. I almost want to sack myself.

Anyway, despite the loss the Rovers are absolutely killing it on the scoreboard. 17 goals this week with Waite, Hurley and Jurrah ready to resume.

I need hitouts and marks. If you're getting beat on the scoreboard and are prepared to give up a decent big man (either ruckman or kpf/ruckman), hit me up with a decent offer.

No - I think I win using my first draft pick to pick up Goldstein!

Thanks my friend- lucky to get away with it, however, just a kick away from gaining more points through my kicking.

Glad you kept your main ruckman - however you need to do some other trading to get your H/b, marks, tackles up,think you need to try to get rid of a decent forward for a good tackler handballer.I have one- whom will play next week Thomas from Port Adelaide..give me an offer for a trade.

Posted

Holy crapballs. Ablett, Fisher, Bock, Carrazzo, McEvoy all down. Time to start building for 2013 me thinks...

Any realistic chance of getting something for Carrazzo and McEvoy, maybe thinking long term for your side?


Posted

Let's talk Robbo... :) Carrazzo for sure. McEvoy, I reckon, is hugely overrated as a player...

HT!!!!!

Trade of the year!

That's a feelgood trade too. Everyone wins. You get the Darling of the league who'll kick you 3 every week, plus Vickery who can absolutely fly when he's up and running. And I get Kreuzer who's a bona fide keeper player and Sam Reid who can be a gun FF.

Great trading.

Very much a win/win if Vickery steps up

True. You have to take into account the lists as a whole too.

Reid hasn't come on as I'd hoped either.

He was on notice...

Posted

That's how I felt about Vickery... I just lost patience with him. He can be anything though, and you'll get your 10 hitouts. I'm happy with the trade just cos I have a ufooty crush on the Krooz.

Good trading Dappa & HT

Agreed that trade is a ripper

Vickery & Sam Reid probably balance themselves out.

Kreuzar for mine has Darling covered in terms of overall value.

Winner is Dappa Dan by a short half head is my call.

Maybe. But when your team scores 2.8, 2.4, and 5.8 in consecutive weeks you've got to look at your cattle and think, shall I stay stagnant or do I want to be in the game ?

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
