Yep i don't like that poster that doesn't make much sense either....

You need to read the entire thread to comprehend. It's only about 4 posts. Reading anything on here in isolation will probably be confusing.

    Have fun watching the slowest team in the comp, along with Richmond and North Melbourne.

    We will open up the gap between us and Bulldogs/Saints/GWS.....I can assure you.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Pessimism personified. Have you had a bad day/bad year TGR? Surely you can see how this will benefit us as a club.

    I think if you remember over the years TGR is deeply pessimistic, even by the naturally historically justifiable standards of MFC supporters.

    Our speed and outside mid stocks aren't bad:

    Lumumba, Hunt, Harmes, Kennedy, Vince, Salem, Melksham, Petracca, Garlett, Kent

    we have a few guys who can run and carry and be damaging on the outside.

    the thing to remember is that fast runners doesn't always mean fast ball movement, the Dockers have Pierce and Hill but still seem to move the ball quite slowly.

    Agree with this.

    Leg speed is often overrated. Someone should arrange a race between Lewis/Petracca kicking a 50m pass, versus Jayden Hunt in a sprint.

    Pretty sure the kick will get there first. If you win the ball first at the stoppages, running patterns, positioning and ball use are more important than leg speed imo.

    Hibberd bullet pass from half back, hits Lewis in the middle of the ground, lace out to Hogan, precision will always beat leg speed, but we have some genuine leg speed as well so it's not a bad spot to be in

    Gary Rohan, plenty of leg speed and endeavour, but no skill, I think I know who I'd have between Rohan and Lewis.

    Blease anyone?

    Oliver, slow leg speed but quick decision maker and quick hands. Gets the ball moving quickly.

    Oliver doesn't have slow leg speed.

    Had great results in the sprints, 3k's and agility when drafted.

    The Number 3 jumper awaits.  Lewis is hard at it, has footy smarts and can kick a footy.  He will make the younger guys stand taller and feel stronger.  Onward and upwards.

    Agree. He's going to be very powerful busting through packs.

    He isn't Hunt glide across the G quick but he is more short burst quick.

    I suspect any interest we had in bringing in Barlow is now gone, Lewis taking his place

    Some pessimism is rightly justified but this is beyond my comprehension. I would have thought we could all see at least some positives in this development.

    I'm sure he does, bit if Lewis wants it, he gets it as far as I'm concerned.

    I reckon number 6 for Lewis and number 14 (assuming Dunn goes) for Hibberd

    Where is Salem going?

    I think the key thing we should all be proud of is that Lewis specifically picked us out. He didn't want to talk to anyone else. How many times have I read posters on here bemoaning the fact that we are not a preferred destination of elite players? 

    Welli have news for them - we are now! And it has everything to do with our late round thrashing of the Hawks. I don't know how many Hawks supporters I have spoken too recently who askerd me who I support when I say the Demons, they are in awe, and generally say we are developing a dynasty to rival theirs in the future. 

    i have never seen this before. 

    It is delightful

    If he wants it we shouldn't have bought him to the club.

    FFS. Don't be so petty.  It was a throw away line which was to highlight the appreciation of him choosing us and we taking him.  As an aside, it would not be the first time that numbers have changed between players when a new (and high profile) recruit is signed.  But whatever.  Geez, the sky would fall if the numbers changed and Lewis would be less than genuine if he wanted it.  Wouldn't he?

    Feel free to look up the draft combine results mate.

    Also, being the slowest out of the fastest players in the comp doesn't make you slow...

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
