Changes vs Essendon

[What 18,810]

29 touches and 11 tackles for Harmes.... . Changing my mind again, and think he will debut vs Essendon. He has earned it

[Wadda We Sing 10,685]

Any updates at all regarding Brayshaw?

If he was subbed as a precaution and does not have concussion or a neck injury then he must play.

Theres only his tweet from yesterday on the MFC website where he says,....." X rays came back clear, a bit sore but hopefully Ill be right for next week."...

The Plight of Bail...

that's a 5 on 2 hahahah..he still mupped it...once of his balloon balls sat it right up.

The more I loo at this graphic, the more i am astonished we didn't even get a behind. he has that many options....

A message to James Hird:

"It is rare that someone acts with such little integrity and is so self absorbed that it angers me. I have white anger towards you. You are the "Head of Football", regardless of what you may say you are ultimately responsible for the entire Football Department. Your total lack of taking responsibility makes me feel physically ill. The health risks you exposed to your beloved players gives me cold goose bumps. The sell out of good people in the name of your self protection sends me demented with utter disgust and anger. You are a cheat, you pushed drugs onto your young players, you have no integrity, you are a fraud, you are worse than Lance Armstrong, because at least Lance only did it to himself."

Hell, this guy systematically whacked up his players (several times a week), with a raft of experimental drugs (not approved for human consumption), over a prolonged period of time. His defence of "It was not me, but I am certain we did not do anything illegal. By the way, we have no records!!!" This makes me feel ill. The fact this dirt bag is coaching rather than facing criminal charges boils my blood. His defence is no more plausible than a drunk driver refusing to take a breath test!!!

James Hird: this game would be better and stronger if you had never been part of it. You have destroyed its integrity and credibility. You have systematically drugged your players, you have taken our great game into disrepute, you have failed to take responsibility for your actions or the actions of the club, you have sold out your political supporters, your players, your supporters, the EFC, the AFL. You are scum!

Nothing would make me more happy for you to be exited from our game for your utter incompetence following a thrashing at the hands of the dees. In fact, I want to see this so much I would happily sacrifice the rest our season to see you go down this weekend!!!!! Go away and rot you filthy rat.

[old dee 24,028]

So you don't like him GNF?

[rjay 25,360]

Now tell us what you really think 'GNF'.

[old dee 24,028]

I am a little bemused.

Everyone seems happy to keep playing Toumpas.

IMO he is not up to AFL level football.

Love your work.

[The Stigga 1,096]

Harmes has to play this week

[Moneider96 1,045]

Apparently the weather will be crap on Saturday :S 10 degrees max.

[Brayshaw Self 847]

Only Demonland posters could blame Bail for Petterd dropping a sitter in the goal square

It isn't a Toumpas problem alone old dee.

It's that our bottom 6-8 players are far too inconsistent. Look at the Geelong game - these guys were terrific and helped us win the game. The next week they are terrible and contribute heavily to us losing the game. We don't have the quality to cover that, and until we get that consistency we won't win enough regular games to be a finals threat.

And then go on... and on... and on.... and on about it. It happened over 4 years ago, the bloke still can't let go.

have you watched the replay of that whole 6 seconds mate? The ball is sat up perfectly to be spoilt. HAD Ricky held the mark it would have been a ripper.. look at the vision. Bail could have run to thirty and missed, as he is accustom to and we would have at least drawn. HACK!

[Leoncelli_36 2,264]

lets talk about the present then bloke? Go on and look at all his [censored] ups this year...he is no bloody good. the sooner he is out of the team the better.

If Matt Jones and Bail can keep getting a game, then I think Toumpas is safe.

Jimmy appears to be learning on the job, that is less of an issue without the other 2 in the side.

[DemonDave 1,099]

What relevance does a single kick in 2010, in his second senior AFL game have to do at all with the present?
Do you think if he wasnt any good at doing what the coaches are asking, that he wouldnt be getting a game?

We could pick apart elements of Nathan Jones first 50 senior games and say just how terrible he is if you wanted..

[Watts Jurrah Dunn? 735]

Out: Spencer, Toumpas, Bail, M Jones, Howe

In: Lumumba, Harmes, JKH, Riley, Fitzpatrick

The decision to play Spencer in Darwin was as baffling as Jordie McKenzie starting sub against Freo. At least Fitzpatrick is quick and good below his knees, where the ball spends a fair bit of time in Darwin.

Toumpas is no where near it.

Howe is a joke.

Bail and M Jones are beyond a joke.

[Devil is in the Detail 883]

Howe won't be dropped. If there is any feeling from the coaching panel he is leaving, they will try and keep his trade value. eg. Frawley last year.

[Coup Cooper 610]

Add Heritier to the possible inns( depending on fitness) and you may have it!

Oh yeah forgot about THE PRINCE!!

[Gorgoroth 13,189]

Baguley (sp) cops a week so he will miss this game.

[Lucifers Hero 40,578]

Good news folks! Plan for Gus to play!

“He will now be treated for concussion symptoms through the week and be monitored...but manager of football operations Josh Mahoney said the Demons were optimistic Brayshaw would be right to play against the Bombers".

[jumbo returns 6,741]

Let it go, L36....you'll do yourself some damage, as if all us are not damaged enough following this club.....

Baguley suspended for a week. He's a good player. Do you reckon he will challenge?
