NAB Challenge 1 - Richmond v Melbourne
samcantstandya replied to Bedraggled Dee's topic in Melbourne Demons
We have too many players who can't kick on our list, Nicholson, Mckenzie,Spencer, Cross.......amazingly you'd think at AFL level a selected player should be an elite kick and if thet aren't you'd practice. Bail missed a couple of regulation kicks for goal but gets one from an acjute angle. Again until we get more skilled players into the side we won't be a consistently competitive side. -
WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BILLY STRETCH
samcantstandya replied to e25's topic in Melbourne Demons
I think we will definitely pick him maybe round 3 or 2 if some club bids. I like the idea of someone who barracks 4 us wanting 2 play & not so much 4 the paycheck.Its gr8 when a young player loves the club even b4 he gets grafted. I know Wines wanted 2 play 4 us but in that instance we had 2 go 4 Jimmy T. Also young Stretch has the father son link. -
Training - Monday 13th January, 2014
samcantstandya replied to Barney Rubble's topic in Melbourne Demons
Not sure how Nicho will improve his kicking once real pressure starts in a game. If he can't he is surely gone in 2014. -
Of that list Strauss, Bail, Byrnes, Nicholson & Jetta would need to play the majority of the season to warrant another contract. Blease& Tapscott need to repay the faith as well. I will watch with interest but I can't see how Nicholson, Brynes & Bail in particular can improve or for that matter deliver. Who wants players that can't kick or don't go 100%.

Time Trials - Friday 10th January, 2014
samcantstandya replied to jayceebee31's topic in Melbourne Demons
He might be fit, but he can't kick and isn't a natural footballer. For that matter neither are Mckenzie & Bail - whilst they are on our list, it just goes to show we are carrying a lot of deadwood that wouldn't be on other lists. Okay McDonald can't kick either, but he can spoil etc... In order to become a serious contender in the future we have to prune our deadwood, whilst they get a game we will not be able to carry them like a top 4 side maybe could. It really frustrates the hell out of me that these types of players (McDonald excluded) get cont.racts and do dilly squat - Bail is always concussed. Jordie can't kick to save himself. We've never had a player named Nicholson that was any good (Alistair should have stuck with hockey). Don't get me started on Pedo or Brynnes(sorry if mispelt). -

samcantstandya replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
I find it amusing that everyone says how well Nicholson & Bail run. They have really poor foot skills, but they are fast. I'd rather a slow footballer who can kick. If they don't improve their skillset they are both gone at the end of the yr along with Brynes. Pedo the yr after. -
WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CHRISTIAN SALEM
samcantstandya replied to Freddy Fuschia's topic in Melbourne Demons
Then I'd prefer Scharenberg, from Salem and Freeman. -
I'd take Scharenberg if available even if he has stress fracture in his feet. He is the prototype midfielder going forward. Otherwise if Aish is there or Salem. Freeman's disposal worries me.

Liam Jurrah's attempt at a comeback
samcantstandya replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in General Discussion
We should draft him as a rookie, it would be gr8 PR and he would get people to games I'd like both him and Garlett at the club. I hope Roos can see the big picture. -
Also dud Ottens brother pick 50 from memory.
-
I'd like our pick to be one of Scharenberg, Freeman, Aish, Billings or Lennon.
-
I'd be rapt if we rookied Liam, Rory and got Garlett in ND at pick 57.
-
I hope we do rooky me, admittedly I only say him play once but he made me sit up and notice him and and he's a solid build.

Interesting symbolisim makes sense in a perverted kind of way.

A crumbing forward, my kingdom for a crumbing forward
samcantstandya replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
I'd rather get Aaron back if we must have a Davey in the team. -
Taggert, Magner, Stark delisted; Clisby promoted
samcantstandya replied to titan_uranus's topic in Melbourne Demons
Maybe next year we will delist this quartet. -
Taggert, Magner, Stark delisted; Clisby promoted
samcantstandya replied to titan_uranus's topic in Melbourne Demons
I'm disappointed about Taggert. I hope we redraft him as a rookie. Why keep Nichoson & Jetta??? Maybe at the next delisting???? -
A crumbing forward, my kingdom for a crumbing forward
samcantstandya replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
I reckon its a naa for Nahas from me. Possibly he could go to Casey. -
It would be ironic if Aish was there @9. Or a Billings.
-
That would be a good thing.
-
That is definitely needed, but I'm not sure how you teach awareness or footy smarts to him.
-
Yeah Nicho&/Jetta are no gr8 losses, but I'd like to keep Taggert.
-
Unfortunately you'd have to question his passion for a contest, I don't think he likes contact. I still remember early on in the season when both he and Pederson ducked their heads when their wasn't anyone there. I just don't think he is a natural footballer, he can run, but that's about it.
-
I'd donate $$$$.
-
We fdon't need to trade Sammy as Michie's been swapped for 4th round pick (54). I want to see if Blease can improve his tank and work both ways.
