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.

Goodwin is a [censored]

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

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.

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....

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
