Dangerfield - A true off-field intelligent unique AFL role model
KingDingAling replied to TGR's topic in Melbourne Demons
He would've been a fool if he referred to Caitlyn Jenner as 'she' - when he was born a man. Calling someone an IT is kinda of offensive. Caitlyn Jenner is a reasonable bloke, and was a hell of an athlete. -
List Structure: What do we actually need?
KingDingAling replied to Mach5's topic in Melbourne Demons
I agree with this. I don't see why MFC wouldn't be in the frame for Josh Kelly. He would have to take slightly less off of us, but we have a better outlook. He would still be getting paid well. -
The Petracca v McCartin debate reprised
KingDingAling replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Probably cuts. It may help with headaches caused by impact vs no helmets. If you think about a skull with no helmet smashing against another skull with no helmet, it is plausible that a helmet could cushion the impact a little. It may help with lessening the chance of getting a cracking headache, but I am led to the believe the damage to the brain is similar either way. -
The AFL cannot be trusted to do the right thing. Its going to be up to clubs to put pressure on the AFL to be held accountable, or to hold players accountable. What happened to Oliver IMO is assault. If Oliver feels as though Schofield was let off, then I think Clayton should ask the club to press legal action. I know people frown at this, but the precedent needs to be set. This was outside of a contest. There is no reason for Schofield to do this. It is assault. Plain and simple.
-
Its true. Same club that known full well about Cousins, etc. WA is just a different place. I lived there for many of years, and I am not remotely interested in going back. They are just a different breed. West Coast as a club known about Cousins, and the drug problems that were embedded in that club - and chose to hide it. Judd knew that so he left. Their supporters will justify anything.
-
Good on Oliver for trolling the twitter flogs. Social media is just a toxic hate fest. Its good to see a player just take the p*ss out of it all, and troll the haters. Because that is all 99% of social media does - hate. It won't effect Oliver's game in the slightest.
-
Yeah same. If it wasn't for Melbourne I wouldn't watch. I have been close to not watching anyway at times, and then I think of blokes like Viney busting a nut for the club, and I think I owe it to these guys to watch them.

If it was McCartney's idea that JKH develop his inside game and transition into the midfield, then he needs a pat on the back. Assuming it was McCartney then we cannot let him leave the club. JKH looks as though he will make it.

I'm sick of it to be honest. I am sick of watching players do these type of things - only to cop a slap on the wrist by the MRP. I don't think this incident was as bad as Reece Conca elbowing Devon Smith to the back of the head as he was leaving the ground, but the Oliver incident is still assault in my mind. Schofield probably won't even get a week. I am sick of the AFL. If a player is hit outside of a contest then it is most likely going to be assault. If my son was playing AFL and he was hit outside of the contest I would be asking the club to seek a please explain from the AFL. It that didn't satisfy then I would hope the club pursued some sort of legal action, otherwise I'd do it myself. This game of AFL is no justification for players to go around assaulting people. I never understand this. I have seen some terrible things in minor leagues as well, things that just make me sick. There is no excuse at all to be assaulting players. All clubs have had players do it but its about time the AFL did something about it.
-
Assault was my first thought. Hopefully the club sends through a "please explain" to the AFL. If it is assault we need to send a strong message to the AFL to ensure Oliver isn't assaulted again. He is still a young kid.
-
You don't beat Adelaide and West Coast at home worrying about the umpires.
-
Gysberts and Neeld have eventually contributed to our club after all. Pederson was a straight swap for Gysberts, and was drafted under Neeld and given a 3 year contract most thought was laughable.
-
Yeah, ever since I potted him as a coach he has looked like coach of the year. Its good to be wrong sometimes.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB – JAKE MELKSHAM
KingDingAling replied to Theo's topic in Melbourne Demons
I actually didn't like the trade at the time. But I knew Essendon would ask for a second rounder (and if we wanted him we would probably have to give one). With the prospect of a WADA ban - I wouldn't of given a second round pick. He played well tonight though. -
I thought Lewis was pretty average. I have thought he has been pretty average most the year. He may get a lot of the ball - but he doesn't seem to do a lot with it. However, I suspect he does drive high standards among the playing group, and I think he is well respected. I have no problem if Lewis continues to play below his best if we keep winning. But I don't believe we can run both Lewis and Tyson in our midfield. It is like Essendon running both Heppell and Watson.
-
That hurts. But, WC should be up by more. The umps helped them there, but thats normal over there.
-
Its hard to carry Lewis and Tyson in the same midfield. We can carry one, but not two. Not in our midfield.
-
Viney is killing it. Get Tracca in the middle for Lewis. Lewis will be a good coach next season, but he ain't much of a player anymore.

Fritsch is going to be a very good player. Draft the kid. He is going to be good. Weid was great. He is exceptional below the knees, and has good skills away from goal. Has a few traits that you don't usually see in an out of the square forward. I liked Kielty's game. He is a good prospect for mine. Good frame, has mongrel, could our next legitimate KP back in AFL. BenKen is one tough little player. He wills himself through contests and is an important momentum player. JKH should be playing seniors, but last time he got there he didn't do much. So when he gets there next time I hope he actually does something - because he is too good for VFL. But, he isn't wasted in VFL because it looks as though he is still developing his game. JKH will make it, and whoever pushed him to develop his inside game deserves a big pat on the back. It suits his traits. Well done to whoever that was. I think Mitch Gent would also go ok at a higher level. We probably have a couple players who could be worth keeping an eye on.
-
Good grab that. I like to see that stuff. Backed it up with another mark not long after.
-
Ok, so its Fritsch? I heard it as fridge. Promising type. Whats the go with him?
-
The Moe lad takes a good grab. Good job down back. Fridge looks a promising type. Moves well, good kick.
-
With aid of umpires.
-
Good player Gent. That is a good goal. Started from Trengove.
