That surprises me I have to say

He’s probably a safer option than Kolt to play half back, but the question is what do we do with Kolt?

Maybe he plays the Paddy Cross role.

    I saw that. It would have been handy to know how it was measured- I mean what's 100? What's 200?

    Yes they didn’t explain that …but I guess we’re extremely fast. Hoyne also acknowledged we’ll make mistakes with this game style & accept it. This will drive some D’land posters insane ..,

    I'd be inclined to leave out Salem and bring in AMW. But otherwise, I like the look of your squad 👍

    Mitch Cleary just said on Agenda Setters that Riv will be back in the team this week.

    No he didn’t.

    He said he SHOULD be back in for the Demons this week and it was a throwaway line that he said after mentioning that just two weeks after Riv played State of Origin for WA, he was dropped by the Dees while dealing with a knee issue.

    Hardly definitive.

    in what sense?

    In the sense that whilst King has suggested Riv is carrying some niggles, I suspect there's some aspect of his game King wants him to work on.

    And to do so likely requires some time at Casey.

    And if he does have some niggles, is one week not playing at senior level going to do much to help him get over them?

    I don’t mind that we barely get a mention. We’ll quietly go on with our business without the added pressure while all eyes are on Carlton and Essendon.

    And again the ridiculous vfl competition comes to light again, no game last week for Casey they had a bye so players returning from injury / form have to sit on there hands.

    We need to develop our own secret language - maybe call it Demonlandish - for occasions such as this.

    For mine Riv needs to work on hitting targets by hand and foot, and his tackling. All at a premium as the game speeds up.

    Clear from press conference King sees him as a defender not a midfielder.

    Please don’t be Max. I’m really hoping he can stand alone as the only person to get NINE AA.

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
