yes, he really is that slow

his kicking is up and under and he doesn't hit the scoreboard

he wouldn't improve our side one iota

Fair enough, we don't need poor users of the ball.  Thats why Tyson is out.

Two things for me, Danger is a terrible kick, even Crows fans will say that, and Jones' 2m handballs out the back of packs normally go where they're meant too.....:lol:

hell no to armitage. injury prone, slow and poor skills.  no to gaff as well. I'd be all up for bringing in aaron hall. His best is very good and was leading the brownlow last year (or the year before) after the first 4 or 5 rounds from memory.

i wonder if weitering is worth chasing as a kp defender ? i'm sure with a better structure around him he could recapture his debut year form. is still only 20

they have dropped him a few times this year and they are looking at a big turnover this year so might be interested in some ready to play players plus a pick

I'd like to see the club target Jane Bunn. Seeing we are now struggling to play the MCG and our game plan is more suited to Etihad I think Jane would be quite helpful on getting first hand info and long range weather forecasts, helping us prepare for the wet and windy well before our opposition. She could also be quite helpful in ways to prepare and recover from our NT games, particularly Darwin if we continue. Another advantage would be knowledge of destinations and changing weather patterns for interstate games. IMO she should be our first priority over Gaff.

Looking at the background, she may have already joined the Bombers. An experimental drug injection program would actually explain a couple of.... things.

Zac Jones coffs it up as much as Tyson. Hopefully he can clean that area up like his brother did. Gaff is the only one I would go for.

No he didn’t. Nathan Jones turns it over all the time.

Would be interesting to talk to Anthony Miles. How much does he want to prove the tigers wrong, that he can play in a senior 22 squad, or has missing out on a flag and playing VFL killed his spirit?

if he still wants success he could be a gun recruit

Fascinating. I wonder if it's a comparable situation to Schache for the Dogs second round pick. Or in our case as they don't need picks, for a comparable player like Tyson

Brian Wilson not unlike Miles and look what he became.... A Brownlow Medalist and integral cog for John Northey in the late 80ts

Miles is another NQR I reckon - not sure he’d replace anyone as an inside mid for us

Haven’t seen enough of him to know exactly. But if he is close to selection, but not getting there, he may be a good senior recruit who has a point to prove. 

Stephen Powell comes to mind, no one saw his 2000 season coming...

carlton wouldn't get rid of weitering.. he's gonna be a pillar and leader of their team one day. but, in saying that, i would trade tyson for him every day of the week. win-win for both clubs.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
