Is there a rule saying we have to kick it to our captain at all costs??

No just putting what I was told by interested parties, any comment on the second bit or is it fact getting in the way of hyperbole again?

He wasn’t in my top 3 for votes Saty. If you want to only look at stats that support your argument, JKH gained 128m with those 14 disposals which barely rated as average (9m per disposal). You would hope he’d be effective moving the ball 9m forward.

0 1% acts in 4 quarters of footy.

My preference would be Kent over JKH, that’s all.

He is ineffective. Has no presence, the footy is always a hot potato. Tackles weell, but doesn't like contact. Lacks composure. Shouldn't be in the side.

I am more than effective, don't pander to the group think malaise that infects this board

Do you ever have your own thoughts?  Or are they dictated by others?  You don't like group think, yet you go with the group think at the club all the time.  Interesting.

And for the record, JKH shouldn't be kicking it to the captain if he's under pressure.  He should be doing the team thing and taking the best option presented to him.  Jones wasn't the best option, captain or not.

We have to play the extra tall because WC play two rucks.

 

What extra tall? You have taken out 2 - Hogan & Pedo and put in one - Weid

The interested parties were the players involved

Your own thoughts? You just post what the players or coaches supposedly tell you. That's not your own thought, that's just regurgitating info from someone else.

    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

    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
