"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.

    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

    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....

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
