I remember seeing Ablett live as a kid. I remember being shocked at the size of his legs. So thick. So strong. Maybe that's why he didn't play in a premiership team...? In fact, maybe that explains why all those players can't be considered 'great.' Held back by leg girth. Now that I think of it, Lockett's legs were just outrageously big....

Whaddya think, Coq?

 

Ablett was the greatest player I ever saw. I withdraw all foolish comments.

Based on corrections in this and other threads, and a quick check of an Albanian dictionary, I would like to confirm a crucial fact -

It's Y'ze, not Yze.

So it’s pronounced “Why-Zee”?

How can this peanut be allowed to continue spamming this site and It’s posters?

Where's a mod when you need one?

Very good McQueen, I fully support your post - except there's no apostrophe in 'its' as a possessive article.

You missed the unnecessary capitalisation..... ?

Interesting? NOT.

Now that this thread has turned to official unmitigated garbage I'll bother to note that I wrote 'interneting' as opposed to 'interesting'. It's not interesting at all. This thread or a particular poster should be culled.

It’s a full time job keeping on top of iOS spellcheck errors, fella’s. 
Gotta let a few slip by.

Good pick up. My defence? I was lying in bed about to kip. Otherwise you got me. 

 

PS: McQueen's done it again with "fella's" but it's way too pedantic even for me to go at him again. This thread has been waylaid far too much thanks to the Coq Tete.

Excellent point Steve.

Over the years, some of my best smut has been deleted and yet the above dull rubbish continues to clog and derail a thread.

But why on earth would Goodwin take any more notice of him that he has with other assistants.

Two time premiership player - I know what I'm doing.?

What's this story about Goodwin ever taking any input from assistants.  I know directly from Brendan McCartney that they had a close and fruitful relationship.  When Macca left everything he said was positive about Goodwin.

We’ve accepted mediocrity for far too long in all departments. I don’t want people back who’ve participated in that mediocrity in whatever role: player, coach or any administrative role.

We missed out on Voss. Tried hard to get him to move. But he is staying with Port

Does the attention move to Yze now??

I'd say we wanted Yze, Voss and Leppitsch. Reckon we'll get at least one of them.

Not sure we want/need both Voss and Richardson? Starts to get a bit top heavy I would have thought.

Obviously, Richardson isn't currently a line coach, but I wonder what he'd think of taking on the role of Development coach as well as overseeing coaching? He did start as a development coach.

With reduced soft cap to go around, if we could get 5 line coaches to take care of our needs that'd be great.

Forward / Match Day Strategy & Opposition (his role in 2020 at Hawthorn) - Adem Yze

Midfield - Adam Kingsley / Matthew Knights

Back - Leppitsch (still hopeful ;) )

Ruck - Greg Stafford (or someone new...)

Development & Director of Coaching - Alan Richardson

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
