I’m flabbergasted at the lack of Grade 1 English grammar and spelling on this site.

When you are extremely pleased with something it’s ‘rapt’ not ‘wrapped’. 

The difference between ‘too’ and ‘to’ and between ‘their’ and ‘there’ should be obvious unless you have a serious intellectual disability.

I could go on, but as many on here appear to be close to illiterate why bother?

Mate its a footy forum, not a board meeting..

    Why are we delisting players who are still make the 22 deep into a hopeful finals campaign?

    I'd hang onto all three of Kent Jkh and Tyson unless we are bringing in proven talent and experience. 

    I’m finding it a bit uncomfortable calling time on guys who are playing a part going into the most important month of footy the club has had in a decade.

    Will be back later.

    I don’t think Tyson is in our best 22 come round 1, next year. Especially if we manage to land Gaff. A club will probably sense he’s gettable, and might offer him a nice contract along with guaranteed AFL opportunities and in that case he’d probably request a trade

    If you're flabbergasted by Demonland, have a look at the other 17 AFL team fan forums... I bet we sound like Poetry. But on a side note, I too am frustrated when people can't distinguish "loose and lose."

    Yeah that one can be a bit frustrating. 

    Whike on the subject, why are there so many people in the general public (not on DL) who say ‘quite’ instead of ‘quiet’? 

    “Yeah that date shouldn’t be a problem mate, our factory has been quite lately.”

    Rant over

    Hunt should be retained. He shows great potential. He just needs to think more before he passes the ball. His position on the field may not be back. Perhaps wing or forward of centre. He’s fast and can kick long and accurately. It’s just his footy smarts with disposal that need improvement.

    And some even confuse ‘his’ and ‘he’s’. Including Tim Watson on SEN!!

    Hang on. Why are we trading out Tyson simply for a pick? Gaff would come in as a FA. Unless you package a pick you get for Tyson to get a real 'need' onto the list, I'd be holding on to Tyson as depth.

    To get someone with more speed and run into the team.  Or to trade up in this draft.

    Have to trade something to get something.

    Tyson is rebuilding his confidence and his disposal has picked up the last couple of weeks. Aside from confidence possibly getting used to have a little more time on outside rather than rushing disposal.

    Bumping his value up.   We have too many inside slowish Mids.   And not any of value to other clubs.

    Tyson would be on decent coin as well.

    This is the key DL5.

     

    And we have to continue churning, to stay near the top of the list pile.   We still have a way to climb to get to the top.

    Some of our kids are currently overrated on their output.

    Some are just starting to give.

    So do we now say goodbye to Messrs Bugg and Kennedy Harris.

    Garlett traded perhaps as well. (What a difference a season makes).

    both are out of contract so would be in danger of delisting

    Can someone please tell me if Garlett has a contract next year? If so, do we have a little chat or do we keep him on next year's list? At the moment he is showing little, but there may be a reason (family etc). After 3 game this year he was being touted as the best small forward in the competition, not sure what has happened.

    Contracted until the end of 2019.

    Hard decision..trade (would we get much) or retain. I think he will want to go somewhere that he gets game time and the game plan suits him.

    Our relatively crowded forward line does not suit him in my view.

    You would think that our method of haphazardly pumping the ball inside 50 would suit him to a Tee, and it did early, but something not right with him and unless he finds his mojo, he may be a casualty I believe

    Yeah not feeling good about his future with us at all now. Think that would be close to it.

    Interesting on Jeffy. Ross Lyon is looking for experience, could Jeffy fit the bill? He is from WA and provided they absorb his full contract he could be had for a pick in the 50- 60s range.

    Update post round 21

    Retired. Balic.  Vince (likely). 

    Delist Johnstone (re rookie). Bugg. Jkh. McKenna. King.  Filopovic (r) 

    Trade - Garlett to Freo pick 55-60 ish

    rookie upgrade - keilty

    T smith and Maynard stay as rookied

    that gives us 7 picks plus a rookie spot 

    add - 2 x free agents

    add - 5 through draft incl Toby Bedford 

    add - 1 rookie

    need to get a ruckman for Gawn backup

    It is a concern that we have not be able to identify / draft or trade-in a capable ruckman since 2009.

    rapt - feeling great rapture or delight.

    Wrapped - covered with.

    But let's face it, footy fan sites are exempt from grammar, spelling and sometimes commonsense and that is part of their attraction,

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
