Who gets you excited?


Josh

Recommended Posts

More a 'what' than a 'who'

Would like to see the whole team display a 'Never say die' attitude in every game . A 'Never give in' stance doesn't take skill or any god given talent . It's a mindset which all our players can display .

The players have got to want to be successful and a hatred of losing should be shared right across the board .

If we do that, there will be plenty of excitement .

I agree Macca ......... and to add to that, if the players don't bring that attitude to every game they will find themselves playing at Casey more often than not. Our (seemingly) improved depth, and Neeldy's uncompromising attitude, should guarantee this! That's an exciting prospect in itself.

Did someone judge what a post says by reading the first 4 words?

He is talking about Tynan and Taggert being overlooked when they have a year on Barry, Kent, Terlich, and Jones.

I agree, I am keen to see what that little fearless bloke Tynan can do with his new rig. Although he has a ways to go yet.

Both of you missed the whole point of the thread. It's not "who do you think might excite you next year if they take the next step"... It's "who gets you excited".

........................... but to quote Josh's OP : "Who or what are we most looking forward to next year?"

Yeah fair call mate, just trying to bring it back to realism, we have so many threads that have turned into player predictions.

<====== this guy right here (Viney)

But am also looking forward to what the senior recruits like Dawes, Rodan and Byrnes bring to the mix, am looking forward to seeing how Watts and Trengove go- the "could be's" in Tynan and Taggert- looking forward to seeing who will lock down that small defender role- how our new recruits in Terlich and Kent fair.

Also looking forward to see how our new forward line functions with Dawes and Pedo coming in. Hoping Clark gets back to his best and another mid steps up ala Jones.

Does that fit the criteria of this thread Stuie? Just checking :P

Because we have seen very little of them,I think Taggert has taken the AI title from Grimes.

Thank god I might add rather him at present than Grimes

The thing is though stu, some people get excited about unknown quantities like Taggert and Tynan. It's not completely baseless as we've seen glimpses of Tynan that show he could become a very capable footballer. But to a large extent it's unknown what they coud be, or what 2013 could have in store for them. That's exciting.

Yeah I get that, just wondering why we have a "memory like a sieve", when there's no actual memories there in the first place...

Yep 'dof' , you'd reckon all the listed players from 2012 would know exactly where they stand now . Witnessing 15 of their teammates being 'moved' off the list has got to be a eye-opener for many of them . The new arrivals to a large extent won't know any different so the adjustment for them shouldn't be a factor .

Has there ever been a club go from one coach to another where the coaches in question are such polar opposites ? It's any wonder so many didn't cut the mustard . Paul Roos said it best when he talked about the first 3 to 4 years of a draftee being the most important years . He talked about how any coach can have a huge effect on a draftees development and how after that initial period of years it's difficult to change a player . We witnessed a bit of that this year in my opinion .

If all our players are prepared to work as a team and be selfless and have strong disciplines then we'll improve out of sight (of course nowadays it's called a 'buy in' or being on 'the same page' ^_^ )

. I'm really excited about all these lovely girls wanting to chat with me. I'm not going to get rid of the adds on Demonland. I'm guessing they find my avatar irresistable.

You've really sold out to crass commercial interests .

It used to be about the music ......man.

Now it's all about pleasures of the flesh. Artistic merit can go to ... anywhere.

Fair enough.Make hay while you can

The ones you pass up are the ones you regret forever .

As for Art.....

It's over rated.

I used to go to school with an Art Riddlestone. He didn't think he was overated at all ( I thought he was)

You've gone off topic .

Bloody maverick .

Some of us here NEED order and stability in our lives .

Besides , there are Thread Police who like to make sure the data is set into its appropriate place or else the silicon chips will explode and the world will run out of sand .

Insensitive bastard.

    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.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
