SEN's List Manager dissects our List

Featured Replies

 

Interesting.

Could not see Lewis missing out on the starting 18 come rd 1

He has a fair point with Salem, although he showed glimpses of fantastic talent in his last couple of games. I think Salem can be starting 18 if over his illness, as he finds a lot of the ball when fit/in form.

ANB played his way to a first 18 spot also, in my eyes.

But with the 4 interchange spots not named, we would be arguing over guesses, as any of our preferences could be on the bench.

 

Fmd ..Wallace...are we none the wiser.

Must be Schoolies

Move along...


Any chance we can save the top 4 talk until we make the finals for the first time in 12 F/ing years?

If ANB is not in the starting 18 then I should stop following the Dees.

Weideman is not a starting 18. He is 2 years away.

I expect this preseason will expose a few boys to become men.

I haven't seen any training sessions yet, so I will leave any comment until such time I have.

Wallace = w@nkfest

Why do ppl put up threads and pontificate about such.

Doesn't anyone learn ffs

Pre season equals anyone's guess

Ppl disect and get all jiggy !!

Laughable.

Maybe 5 games inro REAL season some sort of picture presents !!

In Port Adelaide under the kosh of the Watts surely.

Why would you do a top 18? There are 22 players in a team with a lot of rotations within a game.

I disagree with a few of his selections too.

lost me when he said tyson was a hard nut. not knocking tyson but no hard nuy

Tyson is top 18 but I think he should be dropped for round 1 as a message that his last game against collingwood wasnt good enough (5 or so turnovers it seemed like in opening quarter)

 

Melksham, Salem, Tyson & ANB on the interchange.


 Replacing injured B graders with C graders isn't having depth.

No Jake Melksham,  Weideman at CHF.

Terry Wallace is clueless.

This is a forum about the Demons. Someone in the media is talking about the Dees on the radio. No  matter what one might think about the person talking we're going to present it here for discussion because this is a forum where we discuss all things about the Dees. 

Here's a thought. If you don't like the topic don't open the thread.

Yes i wondered about his sanity when i heard that. 

Melksham was a shining light in 2017. Weiderman will be, but he aint ready yet

Melk was brilliant in his new forward role.  Was a masterstroke from the coaching staff. He even has the 6th longest steak in the AFL for consecutive games kicking a goal (12 games).

I'm going to take your word for it but this stat sounds rather iffy.

A few quibbles as to selections, but if you can move past this, and any prejudice against the 'List Manager', the general thrust of what Wallace says here is fairly close to the mark.

Often kicks 'em when we really need 'em too.

 

Just listened to the segment. I thought Wallace was absolutely spot on, but for some slightly curious inclusions and omissions in the best 22.

Interesting that he said 'Jack Watts? I personally would've kept him, but it won't hurt the club long term'. Despite the 1 billion posts on that topic here, I think that pretty well sums up that trade perfectly.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
