junk

Majak Daw still not strong enough,gets pushed off the ball too easily. Vardy is damaged goods,probably not many games left in him.

How about supporters tell T.Mac since you are not in a hurry to re-sign that we are in no hurry to watch the Demons play again !!!! just a thought

Stuie, we traded our 2016 first round draft pick but i doubt if we can trade our 2017 first round draft pick according to the AFL trade rules,I might be wrong.We need to pick up a diamond in the rough or two in the 2nd to 4th rounds. What are we going to trade for a Prestia or an equivalent ?

We won't be entitled to a first round pick (2017) in the "kiddie" draft and we can't trade our 2018 first round pick as far as I am concerned. The senior players who seem not to be in the demons future plans have no currency.

We would be taking another chance (Melksham being one) with an Essendon player who has had a year off. Surely there are disgrunted GWS players not getting senior time we could poach.

Weed and Hulett highly unlikely to play senior footy this year.Reminds me of Harmes and Hunt in that they have taken time to develop. No purpose playing Weed in swamp like conditions v Collingwood reserves 11/6/2016 match.

Is it not possible to train our guys to win in the wet? If we were a horse and cannot win in the wet then we would be a scratching.

We should beat Freo,Carlton,St.kilda and the Gold Coast. Adelaide at home a possibility. Collingwood a possibility,Hawthorn no way. Swans slight chance along with Cats.W'Coast no and Port slight chance. We could end up with a min of 10 wins,unless we can take out a top side Hawks,Swans then I would say we havn't improved a great deal. For a team to become a better team they should play the top sides more often than play weaker ones.

O'Mac is a better proposition than Dunn and Galand,it would be unfair to give those two false hope knowing that the chop could occur at year's end. I think giving Hurley a contract could prove to be a disaster considering he hasn't played for a year and he will come as a cost.

People mention Mitch White to play seniors,isn't he still on the rookie list and cannot be promoted.

3 QTRS we were in it, so I can't see the need for changes. Dawes,Trengove and Vander will be better for the run. If we can win 6 more matches it would be good.

What happen to Lumumba……. will go the way o the dodo bird !!!! Woods are playing better don't expect us to win.

Five wins from 11 acceptable, next 11 matches I want 6 wins which would give us 11 wins ii losses for the year…….. that would be acceptable. I really don't give a sh.t who we beat or lose to in the forthcoming future.

O'Mac and Frost could be good defenders however we need 2 good defenders and still need a CHF. Frost may end up as a forward who knows. White could fill a defence position at 188 cmm but we still need a monster. A backup ruckman come forward/defender would be great. I think Dunn and Garland days are numbered as defenders.

To answer my own question about bigger bodies we are now on average per player 2kg heavier and if we get smashed then we will be considered too slow or too …….

Now do we have a bigger body side to play the Hawks ? What is our next excuse for another loss,perhaps Matty could tell us.

Almost totally agree with Copuchas. Cannot understand reason for loss,opposition team had bigger bodies. Roos is in his 3rd surely we should be able to fix the problem area and what basis does one come to that conclusion apart from a loss. For anyone to say O'Mac is too skinny at this stage for senior footy is strange,Fletcher from EFC was a champion who looked skinny. Are the following players at Hawthorn considered to have bigger bodies than our guys,BREUST,LANGDON,HARTUNG,SICILY etc.

J.ROUGHHEAD appeared on the front page of the ESSENDON-Collingwood Herald-Sun, forget changes the motivation the Hawks will get will ber enough for them to kill us. Why didn't our team respond when J.STYNES became ill?

Dropping O'Mac for Frost is good it will cause O'Mac to work harder and if Frost gets dropped he will have to work harder. On paper the Dees should get flogged ( censored ). When you don't have the cattle there is not much that can be done - result wise. I would like to see the end to handycap draws which hasn't help the Dees out.

Time to swing the axe. White should get the nod over terlich. Forget Grimes not up to AFL standard.

Giving away home ground advantage to play Brisbane in the past and Port is just plain stupid. I wish that we no longer get [censored] weak draws because we are crap and this fixing of the fixture is like "tanking". The weaker clubs need to get the experience against stronger clubs in order to become stronger. This assumes that clubs aren't coached by the Neelds of the AFL. How can Carlton who has been milked of good players win as many matches as us and beat Geelong? It is so frustrating being a Dee supporter or perhaps it is a curse. Perhaps we should automatically drop 4 players it may stop the rest from getting big heads.

Goodwin needs to get more classy players to the club then it is fair to make a comparison

isn't White still on rookie list?

Cannot see us winning anymore than 3 matches which means we will end up a slightly better team than last year. Calls from supporters for ANB,NEWTON and MICHIE to be selected is premature, lets face it senior footy is far more advanced than reserves footy. Let's face it Oliver,Brayshaw (when fully fit) and Vander are much better. Where is MATT JONES? he was playing alright until getting injured.Another rebuild is required at year's end. I don't see Dawes making any difference if and when he becomes available. Trengove may be useful.Why do the reserves get a day off? just because they are playing the SANFL. The reserves start later than the AFL , just don't get it.

Daw gets pushed around too easily, if my sister fed him up on her scones ( more like chunks of granite ) then he would put weight on in no time. At this stage it is a no for me.
