Extremely difficult to become A Grade if you lack pace and can't go either side like a slow Sam Mitchell can to get out of trouble. GWS knew which one to let go. Too left sided, too slow, very average foot skills even on preferred side, and obviously never had to hand ball the thing growing up as very poor by hand, no right hand at all.

Yep, spud, delist.

Demonland at it's finest.

    Terrific post. You sure can pick them. Where were you last year to critique him after averaging 24 disposals, 11 brownlow votes and averaging 3.4 tackles a game? Muppet.

    I have seen some stupid things said on here but this is by far the worst i have seen.

    I have it on reasonable authority that the Doggies will make an offer for Fitzpatrick. The fact that he's been playing in the backline will only add to his value to them.

    I've also kind of been wondering about Kreuzer. Spencer and Gawn are both being given the chance to show that they have what it takes, but if they fail we're going to be hunting for a ruck in that sort of age bracket. He's had massive issues with injuries, but when he's fit and in form he's pretty decent. I just have a feeling we might be able to get him for a reasonable price. It's obviously a gamble given how fragile he is, but it could be an answer to our ruck succession problems and I don't know how many others could be on the market who would be better options.

    agreed RMs, we will change our ruck situation depending on interest & offers, but I feel sure that at least one of the 3 tall's you mentioned, & maybe Jamar, will be gone at 2015's end.

    myself, I think Gawn will be.

    Fitzy I would like to see given another season +, if he wants it.

    but i reckon we are still cleaning out the old culture cob webs, so imo they will breakup the old ruck division, & bring in some new, a mature ruck & I would add another project rookie ruck to follow behind Max King in the same methods used on king.

    Of course they want Fitzy as they can see his potential strengths and want him in their team rather than against them. If you knew that there was a guy out there capable of restricting your $7Million prize full forward to one solitary handball in a game of football, surely you would want him in your side.

    It is a shame that more Demonlanders cannot see the immense potential of a 200cm player like this (who is also capable of kicking goals and assisting in the ruck)!

    I think so to. I like his weapons of speed etc, & would like to see him develop further.

    Had to check.....Fitzy is out of contract at years end along with Toumpas, Howe and Garland.......interesting.

    ... all open to offers? &/or to re-signing, if not too much?

    howe, either way for me, but if he could help get us shiel or prestia, well then.

    Matt jones has endeavour, which is what watts could use some of, please sell watts to the highest bidder, a second rounder would be good value

    You picked a bad day to slag Watts.

    He did everything today with intensity and did it well.

    Everything except that hopeless effort running into the goal square and lazily sticking one hand out, dropping it and Collingwood taking it straight down the other end and goaling. Otherwise, his intensity was stronger than normal.

    agreed, but i'd like to first see a replay on that dropped mark before i condemn him for it

    i thought it was his best game for the year

    not only increased intensity for the contest, but he actually used the pace we all know he had

    21 touches at 81%.

    Gee hard to argue with this stat Stuie, and Song Formerly known as! However for each possession I see half arsed efforts, an unwillingness to really attack the footy and the ar less than obligatory "Win your own ball" at 81% what percentage contested?? and then see my concern! Not quick enough or responsive enough! for mine! Don't know if in our present mode we can carry this type of player! How fair is that??

    8 contested possessions. More than McDonald, Howe, Lumumba, Dunn, Brayshaw, Hogan and a fair few others....

  • Quote

    Sadly, a lot of those possessions weren't damaging. Just handballs sideways that didn't impact on the game.

    A fair few were actually. Plus, it's our lack of spread and run without the ball that is effecting that mostly.

    Dylan Shiel has re-signed with the GWS Giants until the end of 2017. Source: Rohan Kelly / News Corp Australia

    DYLAN Shiel has resisted lucrative offers from Victorian clubs to re-sign with the GWS Giants.

    The Daily Telegraph is reporting that Shiel has signed a two-year contract extension that will tie him to the club until the end of 2017.

    “It’s a relief to get it all done,” Shiel told the Daily Telegraph.

    “Now I can focus on building on this season with the club.”

    That's fine. By the end of 2017, we should be well and truly amongst it and ready to lure him again. Only this time, we'll be in a much stronger position.

    Let's turn our attention to Prestia. Perfect time to strike. His value has been lowered due to injury, but he's still an A grader. Upon a fitness test, I'd give up Howe or a first rounder. Maybe I just have Prestia blinkers on again. :P

    Shiel signing has destroyed my week!

    I think Bail and Jordie are done.

    Dion prestia is gettable. Seriously considered our offer last time, we are much better now and the suns culture seems to be struggling.

    • 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.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
