MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 23


Demonland

Recommended Posts

I don't get people on here though.

I saw someone earlier saying they would drop Newton before Watts... yet they are probably the same sort of person who would then come out and complain that Newton only got one game and there is no continuity in the side and blah blah blah.

Does anyone not realise that, possibly, Watts was dropped simply because he was out of form? Perish the thought.

Nah, lets go right over the top with ridiculous speculation that he's been dropped because he is part of some trade deal instead.

Our supporters are too bipolar for their own good.

It would be very surprising to me if this is an 'innocent' dropping, there must be something going on

1954 you should support our players not bag them watts has been good this season in a pathetic team why dont you bag jones he has had shocking season

I didn't bag Watts but i don think he is a future champ, let alone our only future champ, in any way. I don't understand why anyone would stop supporting the club over a player being dropped.

fark we can't lose Watts

there are about 3 people on the list with genuine class and he is one of them

He's the classiest player on our list. But he doesn't use it enough, nor consistently - or does the hard stuff.

Roos has eked out a useful season from him - made him look good - and it's time to sell high.

A little birdy said Jack offered up his spot the other day after Cross was sacked, gifting him one last game.

Then why would the club put the word 'omitted' in brackets after his name after he did such an honorable thing?

And no way Cross wasnt going to play

Cross had 39 last week, has played every game this season, no one had to give up their spot for Crossy to play, he was a certain starter and it's certainly not a gift

If you know any Richmond or StKilda fans you could ask them.

i wonder how many seconds on hi for an 1100 watt microwave to melt a mebership card?

or would a longer slow melt using defrost be a wiser option?

Anyone want to guess the crowd? Im guessing we will need to write a nice little cheque to etihad.

Actual numbers 8,780

AFL official announcement 14,000 (after scrutiny by the overworked Integrity Department, of course)

What if we had of dropped anyone else who has played most of the year in the side?

It's speculation at it's most obscene.

I wouldn't suspect we were going to trade Nathan Jones for example. Not many in the 22 have trade value, but Watts does. Many think his preceived value is higher than his actual value. We have already stated outright we are going to be active in this trade period. You don't get quality by trading away Matt Jones. So it is worth a raise of the eyebrow.

What ever Jack Watts is worth this year, it is much more than it would be next year in my opinion.

I would be happier keeping Jack Grimes who is about equally effective because Grimes gives it a red hot go.

Watts is worth more on the table though.

Don't be blinded by your own bias against Watts please!

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
