Bail, Terlich & Riley Re-Sign


Vagg

Recommended Posts

Look it's been a long year....suggest you find a darkened room....have a good lie down.......one more game to go....I am going to Etihad in the hope they give a yelp....let Roos work his magic in the pre season

And none of that actually acknowledges that we are SHlT now does it Saty ?? hmm :huh:

They've absolutely smashed teams that in turn smashed Casey even with a decent gaggle of Demons present.

My point was...we may/could /should win..But it wouldn't be a forgone conclusion. ( especially if its at their place )

And here i was thinking that we might go about things differently come years end, given the crap that has happened this year. But we refuse to learn from our mistakes.

Riley i can understand why we re-signed him, Bail is very lucky as he has had 6 years to show something and it hasn't been much. As for Terlich, Roos comes out lambasting our skills and we proceed to re-sign Terlich????

I just don't get it. Will we ever learn?

I guess you can only judge list management as a whole process after all the drafts. Which is the other strange thing about these signings in that they've happened so early in the process.

Agreed. While I thought it is unusually early in the process I don't really know if it is; maybe someone can enlighten us? Unusual?

But assuming it is early, I thought that indicated it must be part of Roos' overall plan about the whole process - he certainly knows more than any of us, thankfully.

Who is not might be easier to answer olisk

I think that people believe there is perception that we go in with tradeables and not tradeables

I am sure there is two lists - one being a list of names we will throw out there to see if there are any bites. Tapscott and steak knives.

Then other clubs comes to us and say how about such and such....that's the "I'm listening - what are you offering in exchange" list - and I reckon basically everyone is on that list.

Has it occurred to those who are bagging the resigning of these 3 players, that the current coaching staff might just know a bit more of how to build a list than they would. For those idiots suggesting that port Melbourne would defeat the demons you have got sh*t for brains.

Im a little bit bias with Terls because I played TAC Cup footy with him but he has frustrated me with his skill level. Its does show that the step up from Jnrs to AFL is a totally different set up because he definitely was one of our top 5 best kicks at the time back in the day. He has also shown he has improved and how much he has had to work hard for.

Lets remember he has only played 35 games so still a little bit inexperience. Wait till he hits the 80 game mark and starts to gain confidence and mature a bit more.

Terlich if he can sort out his disposal on an afl level base will be a fine player.

If Terlich gets to 80 games before he improves that means we'll be rubbish for the next 3 years at least!

Personally I reckon his kicking is fine when given a bit of confidence as at the start of last year it was fine but as the season went on and he lost confidence it was worse. This year it was more his decision making, trying to play the safe style of Roos footy didn't suit him. Switch him to Port Adelaide and yeah he'd make a few errors every now and then but he'd also run and attack the game. Can't help but think he's a better player than Jasper Pittard.

Maybe another preseason will be 1 step back and then 2 steps forward. He's courageous, a good tackler and has a crack. I'm much more worried about his defensive ability than his kicking. If he could shut opponents down I could live with the odd turnover.

Can someone please just ban this fool? All he ever posts is "you all have sh*t for brains".

He's not even a poor man's Saty. That's an insult to Saty.

Not surprised at all.

Terlich is a bigger body and now has some afl experience. His signing tells me that Clisby will be delisted.

Bail - yes his kicking has been terrible at times and you could argue not getting the ball at all like Tappie or others might do less damage than turnovers that result in goals but he runs all day, is as fit as they cone, spreads, keeps to his opponent but above all else he PLAYS HIS ROLE.

Riley had no preseason and still looks alright. Give him a chance.

As to the comments 'you cant turn over more than seven players' the answer is my word you can when you are as bad as we are.

neeld marched 12 in his first season - you can take on free agents you can trade for low draft picks, etc.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
