‘Pickles’ Evans relishes return

Good on ya Pickles!

Whilst we all agree living the life of a AFL player especially a demons player would be great it can't be that great great when you have only played a handful of games and have had nearly as much surgeries as games.

He has busted his butt and put up with surgery,pain and therapy session after therapy session to try and get back and play. Anyone on here who has had any type of injury/surgery knows how much of a pain in the ass it is and for him to come back and play for the dee's is something I look forward to.

Great to see him back and fit

Actually quite a good article, as some one who broke his hip in 4 spots in 08, I understand recovery from hip complaints. Good luck pickles!

It should mandatory that you can demonstrate that you can understand and can teach how to use an apostrophe before you can become a teacher.

Good on you pickles'!

Anyone that saw him play on Saturday had to be impressed, it was really his first game in 18 months he was good, he has something most our midfielders don't the ability to carry the football, he attacks. Evans and Jetta are two players that take the game on, run with the footy, play on and attack the game, I hope both see out 2012 and remain on our list for the next couple of years.

Apostrophe crime!!!!

O'MG!

First game back and a pretty handy one too. It shows his natural talent. Don't know if they could all fit in the one side but imagine a fit and in form Blease,Nicho,Jetta and pickles. They are all line breakers and it would be good footy to watch.

What he said! Good luck Pickles.

Maybe a comma, or two, wouldn't go astray either JM.

Ah....good old 'Pickles' Evans

Last year I was genuinely excited when we rookie listed both Evans and Nicholson. Both offer pace and run and spread, something we desperately need. It's such a shame that both have had their year curtailed by injuries. Nicho has since worked his way back into the side and continues to prove his worth. I hope Evans is given every chance to do the same. Hope to see both boys back at the club in 2013.

Very impressed with his come back game against Bendigo. He showed some real class in patches considering he had been out for so long.

Well done pickles!!

I was taking the [censored] & posting quickly.

Ended up with a few too many "that you can"s too.

Still remember his great debut against the Saints at Etihad Graveyard last year.

Fingers crossed that his recovery continues

It's a lot easier to press your case for retention on the list if you can actually get on the park, so I'm pleased for him in that regard. Good luck "Pickles"!

If we are to keep him it will most likely be a 3rd year Rookie, but I think that means going through the draft again...

Will be hard i think to keep. He ll need to break into the seniors and have a cracking game or 2 for a shot I think.

The cut needs to come from somewhere and lets face it, Morton isn't going to get cut.

From memory, i think rookies can get be rookied for a third year if they 'accept' to do so at request from the club. I think that happened with Spencer? I doubt Evans would turn that down.

'The cut' needs to come from the main list. Not sure what Morton has to do with anything but there are plenty of other players on the block.

Thrilled for him and I nominated him as my big improver over the summer.

I think Evans should be in the Seniors as soon as possible , on the strength of his game v. Bendigo.

What surprised me was the way he's built up his body . Last year he seemed so skinny. Now he looks like a proper AFL midfielder.

And what about the accuracy in those two goals! Both were team-lifting and changed the momentum of the game.

He might not be fit enough yet, but promote him as soon as possible!

Who would you cut for him?

Bennell is on the LTI list for starters

I'm Rapt he's back, pardon the Pun.

But he's got a touch of Class.

Apostrophe crime!!!!

O'MG!

Very few people know how and where to put an apos'trophe and I find it s'imply exas'perating. It would be far better were they not to us'e it at all.

S'ave the apos'trophe!!
