Hang on, so a thread in the ‘Melbourne Demons’ board on a WCE player is fine but a thread on the Melbourne Demons women’s team is moved from this thread and consigned to a board no one reads?

Doesn't make sense to me.

Well I'll spell it out for you then.  It is obvious because there was a lot of discussion about how we could or even should manage to draft him.  So there was emotional investment by many of the board members (not me BTW, I stay away from drafting details because I haven't the foggiest). 

So it is natural/reasonable that there is extra interest in 'the one that got away'.  I suppose when he turns out to be a dud, you'll criticise anyone posting how lucky we were to dodge that bullet.  With luck you won't open the thread.

Harley-lujah

No serious damage to him in the end.

 

Moving on, how is the DP no 2 going?

Gee, three first round draft picks would have been handy right about now for WCE....


This is in danger of becoming the new 'death ride' thread.

To date, Reid's career at the Eagles has been week one hamstring awareness and week two heavily iced corked thigh. 

I think it is time someone return the off-brand voodoo doll they ordered from Temu.

Hopefully these injuries are a result of acclimatising to rigorous afl training rather than durability issues. I would hate to see the young man’s career cruelled by injury.

I dont think rigorous AFL training has been on  their agenda for some years now. All sun, surf and KFC buffets over there.

That's it, you open your wishing out loud, they hang it on the wall for that week and injuries galore and possible loss.


Actually feel concerned for the kid.  The media interest in him worse than Watt's got.  He's being the next Nic Nat (I assume cult hero of club) and they are even posting about where he could be getting his coffee etc.

Given the decaying state of the senior players and their clubs inability to get them healthy, the attention is on him.  

 

I hope he has an amazing support network to deal with it.

Time this thread got a bump as trade speculation on the Harley continues. 

The only way this clearly happens is if we trade some of our WA talent. Now i dont want to throw names from our end, but suspect there will be a few that wouldn't mind be trading back to their home state. 

WCE in hindsight would be kicking themselves that they didn't take our offer in 2023. They will never get the same value as the offer we put forward. 

Bombers in the drivers seat atm...it would be awful if that came to fruition.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
