Multiple Choice

a) You've never seen him play

b) Your taking the pi55

c) You have NFI

d) You're blind

Oh Pennant Almighty you suggest these options for having an opinion that differs to yours? Get over yourself man.

Michie went for pick 54 last year, what is so insane about Smith for 53 this year?

Michie was traded from Freo for 54 > big difference!

The difference is Michie can play and was a standout at WAFL level in a very poor side, he was out of contract and wanted to head home for more opportunities. Smith is not leaving WA by choice

Ash Smith can not play and is out of his depth at WAFL level, when he first came over to WA he looked a likely type but his footy has been going backwards since about 2011/12

Seen him play many times for Perth and then this year with East Perth under the Meth Coast alignment, he murders the ball gets a bit of the pill due to his superior AFL fitness but turns it over by poor disposal or by making horrible decisions.

Your opinion does differ from mine and I may be wrong in my assumption but I'm going to hazard a guess that barring TV you would not have seen much of Ash Smith

Obviously he was traded, doesn't change anything in the post.

Michie's not scared of contact nor does he turn it over at will. Smith played a good season, got a contract and hasn't played well since for 2 if not 3 years.

This list for the most-part is incredibly slow. Smith has pace and uses it, that's what attracted my interest. Along with considerable years in the system retaining his spot at WCE.

Obviously it's very easy to pick faults in a player that's just been delisted. I'm sure you would've also had a lot of negative output on Matty Spangher when he was delisted.

    HEAVENS ABOVE by Molly Melbourne

    Who said the football gods and scoreboard attendants at the MCG don’t have a sense of humour? The gods spent a whole week teasing Demon and Bomber fans alike about Saturday night’s game. About how the entire match would be dominated by the hulking, brooding figures of 205cm Sam Draper and his 2IC Peter Wright lapping it up in the absence of Melbourne skipper and the club's No.1, No 2, No 3 and No 4 ruckman Max Gawn in the wake of that ankle injury. They painted pictures of Simon Goodwin ne

    The injured Max Gawn has a considerable lead over the injured reigning champion Christian Petracca in the Demonland Player of the Year Award. Steven May, Jack Viney & Alex Neal-Bullen make up the Top 5. Your votes for the loss against the Kangaroos. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.

    GIANT HEADACHE by Whispering Jack

    The crack in the captain’s ankle might be very small but the repercussions of the injury are enormous. The aftershock of the news that Max Gawn will sit on the sidelines for the next two or three weeks has provided Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin with a giant headache, not unlike the one he faced after the Kings Birthday when another Demon superstar Christian Petracca suffered his season-ending injury. That headache is magnified by the fact that Goodwin is facing a month of tough encounters a

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    TEN YEARS AFTER by Whispering Jack

    Things have changed in the more than ten years since the West Coast Eagles decimated Melbourne by 93 points on the MCG early in the 2014 season. The two sides had not met at the home of football in the interim until yesterday when Melbourne won by a comfortable 54 points to remain in contention for this year’s finals series. Back in those days, the Demons were in the midst of their Great Depression but they have since tasted premiership glory and experienced a long enough period among

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?
