An ugly mixed metaphor if ever I saw one. How does one harp on a chestnut?

Get back to class, bell has gone, kids are licking the whiteboard.

Back on topic..... maybe our superstar is our coach.

    jack steven,give this man a 7 year contract.will be a dominant mid in the league for this period.

    and the saints had a coach last year who was willing to trade,any amount would have been worth it.

    We have a superstar and his name is Lynden Dunn. We need to sign him ASAP before other clubs get in this mans ear. He is UFA.

    I thought last trade period that Stevens was categorically out of bounds despite their willingness to trade anyone else (ie McEnvoy).

    he probably was,buuuut they had a loose cannon as a coach and he wanted trade day to be his opus.

    wouldve given them keys to the safe for jack steven..

    He isn't a free agent at the end of the year

    Toumpas, Tyson, Hogan and Viney.

    They will be our superstars.

    yes, i agree, but the whole thing is we need someone now to show them how to do it

  • Quote

    Yes we lack a superstar, but I would rather see a team orientated game plan executed to perfection first and witness stars evolve from that.

    Hawthorn and WCE are two fine examples at the moment. They have an array of quality players but their team orientated brand of footy is their highlight.

    With regards to Hawthorn yes we can list off Hodge and Mitchell but they are certainly not in their prime, Roughead is also a beut but they clearly state they don't want to focus on one target to try and make their team less predictable and harder to shut down.

    Right now we do not need a superstar.

    We need players who are willing to learn and work hard.

    Later the superstars can be approached.

    Yes he is and he is one of our best. We need to sign him ASAP.

    It's the bill and teds excellent adventure conundrum isn't it.

    Bill: Ted, while I agree that, in time, our band will be most triumphant, the truth is, Wyld Stallyns will never be a super-band until we get Eddie Van Halen on guitar.

    Ted: Yes, Bill, but.... I do not believe we will get Eddie Van Halen before we have a triumphant video.

    Bill: Ted, it's pointless to have a triumphant video before we have decent instruments.

    Ted: Well, how can we have decent instruments if we don't really even know how to play?

    Bill: That is why we need Eddie Van Halen!

    Ted: And that is why we need a triumphant video!

    Both: [think for a second] EXCELLENT! (guitar riff)

    We lack depth in the 16-30th picked area.not the 1-5.

    In order to stop the Heinous rot of the past we need to learn to be totally Excellent to each other on field in order to be... triumphant... in the future!

    This would include no more bogus delivery to the forward line that way.....we can.... party on....dude!

    Thats such an indictment on the MFC

    Every other club has had multiple superstars since then

    What the hell is wrong with this club

    Yes he is and he is one of our best. We need to sign him ASAP.

    I agree, Dunny was in the top 2 or 3 on the weekend and is a key player in the backline. I now Frawley is an all Australian but Dunn is equally important, some of his delivery during the switch was outstanding we just found it hard to capitalise. We cant afford to loose either Dunn, Frawley, Garland or T-Mac. That is a defence that could take us to finals.

    We dont currently have superstar, the closest is Jonesy wo is probably tapping on the door. I think Clark could have been but I doubt we will see him again. Hogan and Howe have potential and who knows about Salem and JKH. I thought Watts game on the weekend was excellent so who knows we may get some return out of him.

    Very sad state of affairs.

    A seriously good question Bbo

    The answer: I have no idea

  • Quote

    All those players named would be dying to come to the Dees, if nothing else, just to add a few flags to their CV.

    I think our first task is to get rid of sub standard players, adopt the Roos recruiting philosophy of adding a few more good hard players, by trading an early pick for a lower pick and a player for example and starting to climb up the ladder.

    When we start that climb and show we are on the move, then we can go after a star player or two.

    You have my vote Redleg.

    Not sure how I am going to fill in this winter waiting for the changes for 2015

    lol reminds me of bill and ted's excellent adventure.

    To be a most excellent famous band, do we first need eddie van halen to join the band and help us a make a triumphant music video? or do we need a most triumphant music video to get eddie van halen to want to join the band?

    dude i think we need to learn how to play instruments first...

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
