GAME DAY - ROUND 14


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Agreed, Bate, Dunn and Spencer are finished, were a while ago - yet we keep them!

As I said, build a side around Clark and Jones... Moloney and Jamar are finished, I dont mind Jamar staying on the 3

years - as he is apparently really thirsty for knowledge as a ruckman and thats invaluable.

Jeff White and Jamars knowledge will be paramount for when Grundy arrives:)

Is Grundy the best Ruck you've seen in U-18's? Pretty good player.

One good thing about the game: we can conclude that teh following players can have a rest:

Bate

Dunn

Spencer (why?)

Stef Martin

Trengove (lets be honest he has done nothing this season and is either injured or lost)

Wondering about:

Bail

Bring in and keep:

Blease

Morton (never thought I'd say that)

Gysberts - if he's fit bring him in ASAP

game plan wise - this forward with defneders worked well when we had a big forward, but it aint working now and with out Tom McDOnald our defense is missing Rivers.

Is Nicholson or McKenzie the worst kick in our side? Then there's Bartram...hmm.

All we've done over the past few years (besides high draft picks and the occasional win - ie Tom McDonald) is recruit C graders who are not up to AFL footy.

Meanwhile, some of the "chases" in this last quarter have been country league standard. [censored] pathetic.

It's amazing how topsy-turvy these gameday threads are. Next week when we're not decimated by injury, everyone will be crapping on about how great Neeld is and how we're on the right track. Give us a spell, fellas!

For all the talk of structures from Neeld I can see none today. Melb players seem to be behind the ball or found in the wrong place too often.

Think it's the topsy-turvy efforts most are upset about, not the topsy-turvy results

He's slower than McLean and can't kick as far. Hopefully he is injured.

He's got OP, thats fact but is being kept extremely quiet

Mission can't work miracles in one year - this year is all about 2013.

Ok,, I'll be happy with a small incremental improvement in 2012. I wonder when I can expect that?

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    PREGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons return to Melbourne in Round 17 to take on the Eagles on Sunday as they look to bounce back from a devastating and heartbreaking last minute loss to the Lions at the Gabba. Who comes in and who goes out?
