gaff was grossly overrated by demonlanders. no offence guys, but he is not quick and doesnt apply any defensive pressure. people just like him because he accumulates plenty of the ball. a good trait to have but he by no means helps our speed issuesĀ  orĀ defensive pressure.

Defensive pressure is not actually our issue, being one of the leading pressure teams in the comp.

What we lack, Gaff would offer, which is accurate disposalĀ andĀ lots of them.

Still, I hope KK can live up to his pick 5 selection in terms of talent and he'd end upĀ being a much cheaper and younger option than Gaff.

From first hand experience (he coached my son for 3 years during his re-hab) he is a quality person who would add to our improving culture. Was outcast by Scott who plays favourites with his team. Is an elite user of the ball, strong overhead and a very accurate set kick. Watch the last 2 minutes of the Geelong game at GMHBA and see who set that play up that broke our collective hearts.

Attached are some interesting comparative stats for those that dismiss Menzel and bag Garlett.

I am biased because I know him but a lot of Geelong people are shaking their heads in dis-belief.Ā

This highlights to me how overrated Kent is too.

    Sydney for 1 year...

    Fair enough.Ā 

    1 year is a good deal for the Swans.

    The guy has real class, and can do things that many can't.Ā  Offset against injury and lack of intensity, defensive pressure and consistency.

    But 1 year gives him a chance without much at risk for the Swans.Ā

    Menzel is a massive upgrade on Rohan.

    Both struggle to get on the park...

    Menzel is the better footballer but if they're sitting in the stands both are equal.

    If Menzel kicks 4Ā against Geelong I'll be very happy.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the clubā€™s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the clubā€™s perspective, and the teamā€™s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarksonā€™s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed ā€” roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.Ā  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
