Get another Irish recruit to honour Jimmy Stynes
samcantstandya replied to samcantstandya's topic in Melbourne Demons
Maybe i think I read that he's in town at the moment shooting a film. -
He might want to go, but unless we get a deal we like then we hold him to his contract. We let Neal-Bullen go, but that never played out in the media. I reckon we do a swap for Jackson or then 3 first round picks and they need to be like Bolton's picks not 16,17 & 18.

We have been left behind by clubs like Geelong and Carlton. They've gone to Ireland and recruited players. We haven't for over 2 decades. If it's a funding issue can't they ask for donations from the Demon faithful.

You'd think he hasn't come forward to state his preferred club because if he says us, then he may not be able to be part of the Academy program. Also if he wants to stay up north he could come out and say his preferred club are the Suns. Therefore I'm hoping he picks us as he'll have Gawny as his mentor and play forward ruck for us like his dad. Secondly the Suns have another couple of Academy players that are ahead of him, how can they pick them all. Camporeale twins went to Carlton from SA, rather than try their luck in the draft and maybe have an SA club select them.

Gawny to have a ripper

2025 AFL Rising Star Candidates
samcantstandya replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
I think Brown will surprise a few if he gets into the side. -
Genuine question why have a second team. I don't have one and never will. I don't understand how people can follow a team like say Fitzroy/South Melbourne then follow them to Brisbane/Sydney. I sometimes have a sofy spot for ex- Melbourne players who've been traded but that's it.
-
Height can be misleading. I think a player's ability to leap is more important if you're trying to decide between certain players etc, think of Jeff White he was 195cm but had a huge leap.

2025 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
samcantstandya replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Toby Sinnema a Melb NGA prospect for 2025 -
Hope Charlie has a ripper preseason and returns to the senior side asap. He is a smart footballer, always uses the ball well
-
I reckon you're right. He'll be a Dee in 25

Semantics

I reckon Carlton take O'Sullivan, Crows take Draper and we choose Smith in this scenario. Blues have to pick O'Sullivan, Walsh's cousin, Crows have to pick Draper SA boy and we pick Smith. Voss going to see Draper is smoke and mirrors. But if they did then Crows take Finn O'Sullivan or a curve ball and take Langford. But I r5eckon JT will take Jagga and hope Langford slides to our next pick.

We have 3 senior spots and 2 rookie cat A/B. We could select 2 out of Yze, Andrew or Ricky Mentha

Profits from the misery of others who gambled their $$$ away, whilst we walked away from gambling $$$ the hawks feathered their nest. The govt should think about that and supports clubs like us that have morals.

Welcome to Demonland: Ricky Mentha
samcantstandya replied to dazzledavey36's topic in Melbourne Demons
Like Mentha, but love the romance of having another Irish player, we haven't for so long. -
We granted Neal-Bullen's request but GWS didn't. We are a compassionate club.
-
Nick Hind whilst speedy isn't going to add quality to our list. He would clog it further.
-
Hey, sorry we didn't catch up at Port game I couldn't go. I'm o/s really enjoying pizzas in Naples.

Club in crisis - Media pile on - August 2024
samcantstandya replied to spirit of norm smith's topic in Melbourne Demons
He posted that it was him who wanted to go back on, then deleted it. However not before a lot of people screen shot it. -
The Media must hate us. They didn't go after Tyson Stengle from Geelong when he had that incident in Geelong a few weeks back. It was barely reported. However, they come for us repeatedly. Why are we fair game to them. Now they're suggesting Kossie wants out with 3 years left on his contract because he's homesick. Ignore that his partner is very close to her sister who's also in Melbourne and that Kossie has family in SA & WA so where is home? Also that his uncle Byron encouraged him to accept our offer which he did. So because we were sympathetic to Alex Neal-Bullen, we'll open the floodgates. I want us to take a stand.
-
Love that he committed himself to the Dees. Hope he is captain in the future.
-
If the Saints beat Carlton we'll have pick 5.
-
It just means we are flying under the radar. Cornes said we've got a great bunch of under 22s and I reckon he's right.
