    Aaron vandenBerg not going - signs a new deal!!!

    in Melbourne Demons

    Posted

    i'd prefer to vanders to stay and have a run without injuries, but if he can get a longer contract and more security elsewhere, he should take it. but, i wonder what he'd be worth in trade? there seems to be a 50/50 split on demonland whether or not vanders is essential to our style of play, or just a to-up player filling a role.

    would trading him get us something in the 30-40 range or 50+ pick range i wonder?

    heard cal twomey ask the GC list manager about him on the Road to the Draft podcast.. sounds like he just hasn't found his groove up there. the language used indicated a pass for me. he might get a gig somewhere, but not melbourne or hawthorn!

    Acoustic duo doing just nicely ?

    i don't know what you call this kind of singing?... warbiling? its like people that sing like this really really wanna show you their chops. unnecessary and makes me nauseous. still can't believe MFC didn't book fugazi to play. 

    actually, the guy isn't bad. should just play best of fleetwood mac set. i'm not even joking. its a guilty pleasure..

    I bet he didn't smile, made you pay, told you the beer was no good, then drove your car home leaving you to walk. Just shows the kind of guy he is! We're better off without him (in your dreams). In my dream, we got 3 first rounders and 2 players and a guarantee that Ross Lyon would never coach the Demons.

    ? lollll.. nup, he said he loved my company, would buy me a house, that i could've made it in the afl and that we should go for a few surfs down the coast over the summer.. we then sat and smoked a pack of holiday 40's, listening to really modern JJJ dance music with lots of strobe lights

    Omac, Lever and May would be plenty fast enough for bigs.

    People keep referencing the WC back line. None of Barass, McGovern or Hiurn are quick.

    Posters are also using the performance of the WC as evidence of our need to improve our backline. But whilst they were super important the critical issue was that won the contested ball all match and put huge pressure on the entry kick from the pies - which made it really hard to kick to their forwards advantage (unlike the previous week where GWS put very little pressure on in the first half allowing the pies to give De Goey and Cox silver service).

    We failed to put that sort of pressure on WC (our worst tackling performance for a decade and by far our lowest pressure  game for the season, not to mention the massive contested ball differential) and did not spread to stop their uncontested marking and quick ball transition. So it was absolutely no surprise their forwards killed our back six wit the delivery. That was the casue. The forwards domination was the symptom. And the opposite was true for WC on Sat.

    That said i'm all for getting May but as Frosty is the weak link. Not least because his kicking is so unreliable, he can make bad decisions and one on one he is often out read. there were a few examples of both in the Hawks and WC games. Those weaknesses are not balanced out by his pace and run.

    lever and may would be plenty fast enough, yes.. but not young concrete boots o-mac! ohhhhh concrete boots, when will you buy boots that aren't so full of concrete?

    I came down to Melbourne for the Hawks game and my brother told me he saw Jesse in a night club lighting a dart the weekend prior. 

    Players clearly aren't chained to the club outside of their commitments but maybe he just doesnt quite have what it takes to be great? 

    I can't imagine the likes to Jones, Viney & Lewis approving of this recovery/prep into a new game of footy. 

    lol.. lighting a dart in a nightclub? for starters, smoking has been illegal in doors since when - 2005? i seriously doubt that a pro footy player like jesse was that wasted that he did a dean martin.. also,  fyi, the kids go to the discotheques these days anyway.
