"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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.
