Forward line pressure

Blessed are those who proclaim optimism - for they shall inherit a premiership cup!

Blessed are those who say nice things - for they shall not inherit a clip across the ear.

Hmm a little confusing I think.

There must be a hidden message there buy I cannot see it just yet , not sure what a "premiership cup" is

I still think the forward line is lacking another weapon.

I believe that Garlett will make a massive difference as I rate small forwards higher than most, ideally Watts or Howe could fill that void as a dangerous target to compliment Dawes, Hogan and Pedersen.

There is another man in the forward line.

I'm a fan of Watts and truly hope the he can put together a very good/great season and shove it up the non-believers. As I've previously said if I was granted three wishes I would use one to watch Jack take mark of the year standing on Nic Nats shoulders.

But, in reality, for a bloke his size he is a useless contested mark and doesnt provide any defensive forward pressure as his tackles stick like Teflon (his least appealing quality)

I much prefer him playing the quarterback role at half back where he can use his decision making and delivery talents to best use. It is where I think he has played his best footy to date and a position he could make his own.

I think that's what we're all hoping, given he has the history of kicking goals as opposed to our previous goal kickers sparse offerings.

Geez I hope so.

Ed: regards Garlett.

Half back is not his position, I hate him in that position, it's a waste, leave him in the forward line, and teach him to tackle, with his speed and a some c u next Tuesday instilled in him he may just make it yet.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.
