Viney will develop his softer emotional side, just so Chuck Norris can come out of his hiding place and cease being embarrassed......

Mmmm ok maybe not, much more likely kill his opposite number with fireballs from his eyes and bolts of lightning from his arse!

Cameron Pedersen to emerge over the next 12 months to the point where no one questions his sole appearance in the 2015 membership campaign.

These are meant to be outrageous right?

God deliver me from your prediction.

It is too horrible to contemplate.

Elite kicks??

Posted

Mark Jamar to have 10 kicks in a game, at 80% efficiency, and 5 of them going at least 30 metres.

Gary Ablett to get dropped to the seconds for at least half the season.

Campbell Brown to kick himself in the nuts.

As trivial as it sounds his hard running and speed could actually be developed into something. He has all the physical attributes of Kieran Jack. And bad skills can be conquered with time and composure.

The issue I have with Nicholson is that he's soft. It's the non negotiable.

We are looking for a quality small forward. He is quick, an elite runner, and if he could improve his kicking, may be a chance.

Tom Boyd

Tom Boyd to come to us (because the AFL refused to bow to the pressure from the other 17 Clubs to not give us a PP) and next year's Coleman medal to be shared between Hogan and Boyd (both accepting the award in MFC guernseys)!

We don't need key forwards, we need gun midfielder, and a class crumbling forward. Trade our picks to get them. This is a transformative opportunity - one we will not have again hopefully for another decade or more. We must get it right.

Boyd, although clearly hugely talented, would be surplus to our requirements right at this time, but he would be hugely valuable to us as a trade commodity for one or two A-grade midfielders. We should do it, and I'm sure Roos will.

I see where you are coming from (like every other Demonlander) but don't think that our forwardline is as elite as you think. We cannot rely on first-year player Hogan to be the goal-kicking messiah and this year proved that our gun foward structure is comprised of players susceptible to injuries. Much as we need mids, there is nothing wrong with having the two hottest (& youngest) forwards in the AFL both playing for the Dees (otherwise we have a Boyd/Cameron forwardline at GWS for the next decade a la Hawthorn with Franklin and Roughead).

Who will Roos turn from spud to delicious curly fries next year ?

I'll kick off.

Pederson to become our Ted Richards.

I was thinking Pederson would become our LRT


Posted

Mitch Clark to get a metal foot-replacement. Then, if someone (please let it be Michael Hurley or Hayden Ballantyne) tries to smother his kick, he can knock their teeth out.

That's all I want.

Preferably Campbell Brown

Posted

Rohan Bail to bleach his hair ala Woewodin and take out the Chad.

If he bleached his hair he'd miss another 3 weeks with concussion.

Mark Jamar wins a hitout, and it goes to one of our players more than 3 feet away and on the move.

Jack Grimes kicks the ball forwards more than twice in a game. At least 50% hit a target.

Sam Blease plays his 3rd game in a row...

There's a zombie apocalypse, there's no food left, Tom Scully is NOT eaten by his father.

one thing is quite clear

roos was doing homework on all ,listed and unlisted players for the last 10 weeks

he is definitely ego driven like all coaches

reading posters.papers and listenening to the radio,massive amounts of trading by all clubs is about to be done,

and who put himself in the box seat for early on the ball trades,and early talks with disgruntled ,want to move home players.jumped em roosey

PAUL ROOS

theres something big happening here and all the player movements and club movements have somehow fallen our way

only prediction I can make is we are on the way ,hold on and enjoy

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
