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.”

    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: 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?

      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?
