    Agree. He still blunders when least expected
  4. Farmer replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Give him a break. Good in R 1,ok in R2. Many entries came in flat and hard .Still, I agree, he wasn’t good and he will know it

    Lever? Made a heap of errors/ blunders
  6. Farmer replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Of for heavens’ sake!!!! Even though he no longer plays for Dees he still can’t do anything impressive in your eyes
  7. Farmer replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Dazzle, they recruited Lever who is terrific if he doesn’t have an opponent. In his great year at Adelaide they played a seven man backline .Just listen to Mick Malthouse on that topic

    Again , watch the two finals !!!! anyway, he is gone, forget about him , let’s get across the line on Saturday

    If his second goal was not under pressure , I’ve never seen one

    Dazzle, watch the two finals we played at the MCG in 2018 and tell me that Oscar is the useless crud you described . Tall, can kick , intelligent. You don’t let such blokes go
  11. Farmer replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Dazzle, Pickett etc I have to salute you It’s great that you have watched thousands of games but haven’t a clue as to what constitutes a useful footballer . Not a clue! You and your ilk have rubbished this bloke unmercifully. I suggest you watch Curling !
  12. Well sign him up now!!!! He’s a better prospect than anyone else, both as a key forward or back but especially if anything happens to Max
  13. Well short answer is that Oscar was delisted two months ago. The need for another tall has just now arisen
  14. “ not capable of playing AFl footy” the clips show he is well and truly capable . The turmoil at NM in recent years has not helped him
  15. Fantastic, and it’s only a couple of years ago. Didn’t suit the NM list at this point but could be v handy for the Dees
  16. Last week on the ABC Mick Malthouse said that he was stunned that MFC got Brown so easily, and that he thought Brown would make a big difference to to the Dees

    U are correct. His wife was . But he adopted Tassie and dominated football there.i think he captained the only Tassie team which beat the Vics in 1960. There must be footage of him and his dropkicking

    It shows that I am seriously old. None of you have mentioned Stuart Spencer. Melbourne champion rover from 1950-56. Drop kicked it 65 metres every time on the left foot. I saw his first game v Carlton R1 of 1950 and he was my hero thereafter, till he left to operate a service station in his native Tassie . Best rover in the VFL, twice winner of the Bluey, yet he left for the money. In his biggest games v Collingwood was Thorold Merrett, who kicked the most lethal stab kicks . The year after Norm Smith was sacked, must have been 1966, Max Walker took a mark 50 metres out and slotted a goal with a drop kick. I recall it well because Smithy was sitting a few seats away and he forecast that Max would kick it . So despite Barassi, Dixon etc and the suggestion that coaches frowned upon the drop kick It was still being used as an accurate kick for goal at that time. And now for a curve ball.!!! Have any on this site watched Reece Hodge kicking goals with place kicks for the Wallabies?Sure he missed a couple of critical ones v Argentina , but he slotted one from 55m and his overall accuracy was 80 percent plus. I’m certain the place kick is the most accurate of all. It makes sense. The ball is stationery when one kicks it As the Coodabeens would say “ just think about it”?
  19. And a beautiful, precise kick, either for goal or to a leading forward
  20. Settle down mate. The team which Roos handed over played a prelim final two years later. We handled Watts perfectly well, and got, effectively , a good deal for Hogan. And then recruited BRILLIANTLY this year
  21. Do it now!
  22. I think this is fair, and I agree. For whatever reason, he drops a lot of marks he should take
  23. Farmer replied to Lucifers Hero's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Mate, by R 3 Tom McD will be playing CHF and Weideman will be playing FF at Casey !
  24. Farmer replied to Lord Nev's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    He kicked 50 goals plus, having missed the first 5 games due to injury
  25. Farmer replied to Lord Nev's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Bloody hell! Petty at CHB?The club want to play him forward
