"Charmed life" Melksham managed to stay in the side.

 

Other than that ... yes, let's turn over these [censored]ers and see who's prepared to give a red hot go.

They're all here on Demonland to check.

Jennings news was on here well before reported. I posted it in this thread on 3rd July, was reported in the media 12 August.

 

I started the Jackson thread by mentioning we had spoken to him, that hadn't been reported.

 

Please remove that other info mate, those people wouldn't want that put here. DM me if you like.

 

Yeah fair enough on the Jennings ones, you did call it early.

But the Jackson article did report this Nev, already that we were one of the clubs that were keen. So we already knew that Melbourne had interviewed him going of the article you posted. 

Greater Western Sydney, Melbourne and Fremantle are among the clubs who have been linked to Jackson with top-10 picks and are glad the 18-year-old decided last year to give away a promising basketball career to focus on his football."

Yes, the article says we're one of the clubs linked to him, I put it in there that we had specifically interviewed him.

Not claiming it as earth shattering news, but that info had not been put out yet.

Look, it's up to you, either I've heard some stuff or there's been some amazingly lucky guesses.

Probably the best lot of changes we have made this year, however Smith should not be in the squad, and he should be in the forward line if selected. Unfortunately Goodwin has made these changes too late in the year when he really needed to make them earlier in the year, his biggest fault is that he is too slow to make change. It gives me relief to see Jones, Spargo, Wagner and Omac out of the side,  4 massive spuds [I still love Jones though]

I'd reckon that Smith will get some forward time - at least he made the squad. There are some possibilities here - a few swapsies here and there after the starting siren and a few swings of players to take advantage of any options or opportunities as these arise. If we're lucky, a few different moves may well eventuate ... pace and height, run and carry is evident. Keep Viney out of the midfield, he is a utility now with attitude. The Beast must demonstrate mongrel against Freo.

It's not about you Nev!!

Package himself and Brother Oscar of for whatever you can get for them.!

Tom is contracted until end of 2022, on pretty hefty coin. No one is going to take him on that basis. He has zero trade currency.

Whos playing on Walters ??? 
 

Best match up is Lockhart 

We've said this the last two weeks with Butler and Papley, both of whom went on to have little impact on the contest.

Their players don't worry me - it's ours that do.  When we're turning it over and not working hard enough it doesn't matter who they have, as we will hand it back to them in a platter.

Agreed. We [censored] ourselves under pressure and turn over too easily. Bad disposal skills are our icing on the cake

Smith by the looks of it..

Goodwin is struggling can’t fix the same issues with this team for 2 seasons now, 7 changes understand 3 injuries, end of season & still can’t get the team right

Don’t forget 4 day break 

Pruess has to be FF, otherwise we are back to our one key Forward which worked so well for us in the first 6-8 rounds.  do they learn?

Bulldogs tonight put massive pressure on us, must win all 3 remaining games now or we are done.

We are already done

If we win remaining 3, we finish 6th. we drop 1 we're 9th.

i also think we are cooked, but hang onto a small glimmer as per Demon tradition.

100% sure we knock off Freo and GWS then lose to Ess by 10 points to end the season.

Look guys the good thing is - if we play like soft [censored] like last week - we'll loose.

And after a few ramifications and ruminifications across D/land, (that's short for scotch & wine) we'll all come to peace and declare this was a non event of a season.

If we beat Freo, even by a point, we'll declare the team flag favourites.

The show must go on....

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
