Sorry Gus, respect forever lost.

That song is gold. Bieber is a [censored], but that track is electronic pop gold. Chvrches' cover is even better.

Haha what about Bugg picking Taylor Swift too.... I think maybe the boys use this as a bit of a prank

Taylor Swift's latest album also awesome. There's a chance that they actually just think it's good music. If you like 80's synthpop, that album and Bieber's are ballpark synthpop.

 

Close the thread, please.

I feel dirty saying it, but I agree.

Yeah they have, but it could have been a blow up doll disguised as one of them.

How would you tell?

How is young Angus going?

Lets try and get this thread back on the straight line..

He is named for Casey this weekend which is awsome. Hopefully he gets through unscathed.

Great news, just for this game Gus, DO NOT put your head over the ball and never turn your back to it either!

Thought he played his best game for the season yesterday. The speed caught up with him a few times on the outside, but he was great in close.

23 possessions and a team leading 7 clearances.  Welcome back Angus.

He was a key reason we were on top at quarter time. He dropped off as the game went on and he got caught unaware a few times but was a lot better than credited by some.

Supports what I thought I saw then. ;) Didn't realise how many clearances he'd won. That's elite.

Slightly over rated IMO.  Will be a soldier and a very good to good player, but won't reach elite status. He doesn't have one area in his game that is special. Not fast, disposals are ok/good, not a great mark for a tallish mid, not a goal kicker, therefore he is a midfielder only. One dimensional. 

I was surprised by his lack of awareness yesterday. At times he had 5 St Kilda players chasing/around him and he was oblivious and was caught easily. I only hope this means he is adjusting to AFL level after a lengthy break.

And you can tell that after such an interrupted second season, after such a terrific first season? Posts like this are ridiculous. Doesn't have one area that's elite? 7 clearances yesterday. In his first game back in 2 months. That's without mentioning his hands in close or his ability to dispose both sides of his body. Go and have a green tea and come back at the end of next year.

He played very well mostly as a forward last year. Doesn't kick a lot of goals but did create more than a few both with and without the ball. His tackling was as good as I've seen in a first year kid last year. He's a very good clearance player and I'd love to get him kicking on his left more, particularly out of stoppages.

He was caught a few times yesterday and was king of the hospital handball, but the Saints do play super fast on Etihad and the team were asleep.

I don't think he'll be elite either, but if he's very good then the line between that and elite starts to blur and if you pack a team - particularly a midfield - with enough very good players you'll have a great team and at least one of the players will be credited elite even if it's wrong!

Makes the decision to play him early in the year even more baffling, especially since he hadn't had a full preseason.

I remember watching him over summer often training with Dom in the rehab group and Dom was far fitter than him and Gus did look a bit heavy. We never got an explanation of what injury he had but he clearly hadn't done a lot of preseason.

The positive is that the club went through the problems professionally, found the issue and sorted it.

Goodwin doesn't mind going public and I don't hate that either. 

 

Happy to flop them on the table with this bloke. 

Will be elite.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
