When McKenzie is getting a gig on the Demonland banner, then maybe its time to just scrap the thing altogether?

I would like to think if our draft/trade period goes alright he will/should struggle to get a game.

Just noticed it on my lunch break.

Love it.

Interesting the inclusion of Jordie, does this mean perhaps he may become that solid tagging player we are after?

Last few games with us were quite impressive, virtually shut players down and racked up some good numbers himself.

Still only 23 and has showed some signs he may become a tagger in the Ling mold.

Trying to work out if that is Roos behind the silhouette or not... :)

He is looking solid isn't he - must be the offseason (they are already ripping it up at the gym)

Can we replace McKenzie with Hogan? (he is basically on our list now) :wub:

My guess is its either Jesse Hogan, Taylor Adams, James Aish or Zac Jones. If not, then it's got to be Biff.

could be biff

hes getting new teeth,so that accounts for the blackout

Also Watts, Sylvia, Dawes - MAYBE Toumpas...

Again... Come on!!

Are you suggesting we put one of the worst performed and lazier players of the second half of 2013 on the banner? I'd much rather have McKenzie who stands for exactly what we need under Roos - hard and tough work. McKenzie completely shut down Ablett and Griffen in the second half of this season after he returned from injury. Howe on the other hand was barely even taking hangas until the weekend that's how (excuse the pun) far off good form he was.

I am far from a McKenzie fan

But you are spot on tm

Howe was a big disappointment for most of 2013.

Not that he has that honour on his own.

Fair enough, Howe's output was down throughout the second half of the season but, as badly-performing and lazy as he has been accused of being, he was the club's Leading Goalkicker with 28. Brad Miller was lauded as having "a breakout year" with 26 some of you might recall. Howe, despite his disinterest, was 7th in 1%ers, 7th for I 50s and 6th for Contested Possessions. It should be conceded that he did spend a lot of time where the ball wasn't.

The shape says Mark Neeld.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WAY!

Blood' hard workers will rate higher with Roos, than a flash in the pan types..

Jordie McKenzie will be on his hit list I'm sure... & Jordie will bounce back.

Chris Dawes should be in there

Already the most respected leader at the club and a Premiership player with runs on the board

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the scorching morning heat to bring you the following observations of Wednesday's preseason training session from Gosch's Paddock. HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
