Maynard?

Omg

Who else, there is not much in the Casey cupboard? 

 

Bring back the Danial Cross magic cream.

The saddest thing about the the Stack affair is the reminder that one Demonland's greatest ever threads has slipped into the aether. For the newbies:

 

Honestly, Jack has underwhelmed this year.  Back from his foot injuries, he is not explosive out of a contest or clean enough with disposal.  Being ‘tough’ only gets you so far.  I am disappointed he is injured, but he is a real barometer on where we are at right now.  We can’t keep playing guys that are NQR, except there is no one to replace them.

Eradicated diseases in the last 40 years
  • Smallpox.
  • Rinderpest.
  • Poliomyelitis (polio)
  • Dracunculiasis.
  • Yaws.
  • Malaria.
  • Hookworm.
  • Lymphatic filariasis.

Those we haven't eradicated....

- NSC

- MFCSS

Malaria, hookworm, polio and filariasis have not been eradicated.

Viney to miss a couple of weeks , is it going to be the same as May's 3 week layoff blowing out to 7-8 weeks. I wish the Medicos at Melbourne wouldn't quote any figures regarding injuries.

If I were a gambling man I would definitely plonk down hard-earned on that scenario playing out.

He definitely tried to take it on. 99% of players in the league would have side stepped it which was the smart thing to do and would have been beneficial for the team. Almost feel sometimes Viney is just out there to show how tough he is rather than actually play football and help his side win. 

We don’t need courageous acts that amount to nothing. We need match winners and that’s what a captain should do.

Baker would be the outside runner.  At least a run for 3 games just to see how he goes, even if only as experience for next year.  Can't do much worse than the others and he has a bit of height to take a mark.

To keep playing NQR players, is to risk turning them chronic injury stats.

Not to mention AVB's 4 weeks blowing out to at least 10.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
