‘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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

I was taking the [censored] & posting quickly.

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

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.

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!

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!!

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
