Mobile talls

Stef Martin. We need him in the team A.S.A.P. After watching Russian live last week I saw him Jog and stroll around and give us 0 leads and as has been discussed in Demonland 0 marks. I believe we could start Stef and my man crush Mitch forward with Russian in the ruck. Stef as more of a lead up forward with Mitch at full forward. Russian and Stef do the ruck work and that Leaves Mitch at Full Forward. If Russian would read the rule book which states ruckman have permission to kick the ball instead of turning his head and body all over the joint like the devil is in him he might be able to i don't know kick a couple through the big sticks and not handball it to anyone who then gets tackled.

 

The team needs mobile talls, like Darren Jolly at his best.

Was hoping given the chance to start over that you'd put more effort into your OP's DF!

.....or is this just an attempt to lure TGR over here?

That would be a start though Stef was struggling as much as anyone when he went AWOL. The Russian's gonna re-birth his old nickname if he doens't get on his bike.

Garland forward (Rivers to a lesser extent) at least shows this coach will think outside the box.

You left out multi-dimensional. If you're going to nick it, get it right

I agree - but this could also be due to a lack of "run and spread" - or a bit of both?

Ah the old multi dimensional talls. When Ronny first started banging on about MDT's(tm TGR 2006) he used to reference Freo as the standard, with Daniel Gilmore as his exhibit A.

that ended well.

He doesn't even do the old long kick down the line I think his feet are painted on.

Na, just some Mark Jamar from this game:

JUst shows whats possible Eh

Perhaps MJ needs to review this?


I have totally forgotten MJ could kick this well. Thanks for the memories - MJ should definately watch this.

I loved Robbo!

Great video. Although what sort of idiot makes a highlight video of a loss....

Nev Jetta was excellent in this game. It's a shame injuries have made it even harder for his type to make it, I really like him.

Look how open the forward line was back then, wish we could clear it out like that for Mitch The Ultimate Mobile Tall Clark.

Other than DJ D_F, who else did you have in mind ? Lucas Cook ?

Whether or not Neeld is a fan of Martin or not, I'm not sure. He was injured so he maybe trying to meet a level of "compliance" (nuffies like this sort of talk), before Neeld gives him the green light. Other options are Seller, Fitzpatrick and of course Gawn. I'm not exactly on the edge of my seat. The 'key' is development with our talls.

If you're looking elsewhere we already have suggestions in past threads such as Patton where you'd have to sell the house.

often amused by folk that suggest the Russian isnt too flash with marking.

Agree with HT...its about development.....theres already a bit of potential in the side. Needs honing


Mobile Talls...Clark Watts Howe Martin...how many do they need? Russian is a married man like Flash Greeny and the rest....there's his problem I reckon

Yes we need Martin to replace Jamar - who looks just about done.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
