Latest murmurings of a crazy time

Recommended Posts

I still struggle to understand all the love for a bloke who managed 3 AFL games this year. He won Werribee's B&F. Couch won ours. Big deal!

Far prefer Sellar.

Why struggle when you can do what any normal person would do and investigate him. Start with a website called youtube.com there's a few clips on there and it's all we can go by since he hasn't had many games. FWIW he looks quite a good player. He can take a grab, is courageous, has good skills. I know it's a clip against Port adelaid but if he can reproduce that form for us he will be extremely handy.

Better than Martin and Sellar so for me that is a good thing.

Can anyone here clarify the new rules regarding delisted players, there seems to be some bits and pieces floating around that if players are delisted after the trade period they become unrestricted free agents and can be signed by anyone without the need to go to the pre-season draft. If this is the case, a) what is the point in the PSD, and B) what's to stop us or anyone else being in a players ear saying don't sign a contract you will get delisted and we can then pick you for nothing?

Thanks for the you tube clips Sloonie

I haven't seen much of Pederson but from what I've seen and heard from mates - he sounds like a handy pick up

Looks like a smooth mover - which is more that can be said for Sellar or Martin

He is the kind of back-up ruck I would like us to play with.

If he plays only 20 mins as ruck, the back-up ruck needs to be able to play as a forward - this guy can.

Martin, Sellar, and Spencer can't and Gawn and Fitz are not ready.

Gys and Good Times Grimes doing gut running around AAMI this AM. Good to see.

If they have paired Gysberts up with Grimnes as a training partner that could be the best decision over summer. Grimmes is one of the most dedicated AFL footballers in the land with exceptional leadership ability. Gysberts IMO has huge upside if he is able to get himself supremely fit could be the player we a screaming out for I really really hope everything clicks for Gys.

perhaps they've asked Grmes to take Gysberts under his wing for the upcoming preseason?

And in the black and white extreme world that is Demonland, Gysberts will now be viewed as having officially seen the light and is now working hard to stay on the list after the cleverly orchestrated and public kick up the backside given to him by our ruthless footy department.

Whilst I dont think Grimes would be privvy to trading/delisting instructions it does seem odd that someone who is "apparently" close to being shown the door is training with the captain- coincidence or request from the heirachy ?

Or fear of the unknown?

But what I want to know is this... did he sink that shot on goal from the boundary at about 1:25? :-)

Definitely not. They couldn't cut to the next highlight fast enough..

Showed some great decision making under pressure in the highlights from the game against the Power. Strong grab, clean hands, nice tap-work.

On the surface, a far better option than Sellar.

Grimes and gys running together - very good sign. Can't see Gys getting traded if he's running with the captain. Not enuf value to trade - too much up side that needs a full preseason. Good move, good leadership Jack.

Keep please. (I did say please...)

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
