Oh, please! Listen to yourselves... Hibberd has just come off a magnificent season and you condemn him to the scrap heap.... Some folk are seduced to the title, “Waste of Space”.

JKH has broadened his impact, skills and involvements steadily over his time at MFC. He was more effective than ANB against the Tigers... (and for that matter, Spargo) and ANB has already shown he can be effective at this level. I raise this comparison because I think the JKH detractors are stuck in the past. I'm not sure he will make it to best 22 in 2019, but he is very clearly on the fringe and may break through... have a closer look!

POST MATCH DISCUSSION: Melbourne vs Richmond - JLT 01
waynewussell replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
After watching the entire recorded game, I have the following observations... Jordan did some nice things, was clean with the ball and might be our find of the draft Preuss had more influence than I had given him credit for. I have moved him from 'disappointing' to 'serviceable' Best were Oliver, Brayshaw, Harmes, Salem & Fritsch, who all seem destined to continue on their merry way in 2019 Other 'serviceables' are JKH, Oscar, Hore, Weids, Kielty, C Wagner, J Smith, Petty, Spargo & Petracca 'Off-day' award, Tom McD & ANB Needing to do more to crack round 1 are Stretch, Frost, Hunt & J Wagner A fair way off are Maynard and Sparrow, for different reasons Unavailable due to injury... Jeffy NOTE: 'serviceable' = Had some good moments, gave something appropriate for the level, but inconsistent or faded out -

Keilty was more impressive than Preuss... now I know why we didn't play Max... Preuss was exposed. Thought Corey Wagner showed something... Jordan showed a little. ... Petty showed something in first Qtr not stepping up list Hunt Spargo Stretch Frost Pruess Maynard -

within four goals would be a very good result! -
GAME DAY: Melbourne vs Richmond - JLT #1
waynewussell replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
That's our entire backline and half our midfield right there! -
I can't believe we will pass on the opportunity to test the Max + Pruess combo in a game that isn't going to cost 4 points if the experiment fails!
-
I'm not convinced the so called "emergencies" aren't playing! Waiting for confirmation from MFC of final selection.
-
The AFL needs to inform that second rate, wanna-a-be, suburban whistle blower that the hands in the back rule has changed!
-
If the AFL want us to watch AFLW, and I presume it is in their interests, stop serving up second class suburban umpires. And while I'm at it... stop stuffing around with AFLX and put the money into the women, who have had a legitimate competition for well over a decade!!!

Female game + female umps... the males are a disgrace!!!!

Even more disturbing are those who have seen Preuss play, and regard him as pretty average! -
GAME DAY - AFLX Scratchings Match
waynewussell replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Cant wait for tonight's GF.... Which teams? Which players?... Don't stress, the Game Changer will be dropped in from the retractable roof and all will be revealed! Marvel Stadium... Transformers v XMen.... paper, rock, scissors... I'm on the edge of my seat... Does anyone on big dollars have any respect for the game? -
GAME DAY - AFLX Scratchings Match
waynewussell replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
The members of the AFL executive who thought this would be a good idea should be replaced immediately. I found todays scratch match, MFC v Coll, infinitely more engaging. The attempts of the commentators to make this carp sound interesting is excruciating. Hey, AFL big knobs.... how about a State of Origin contest in some modified form???? Fracken who cares about this tripe??? You belittle the great game you pretend to be the guardians of! Disgusting, vomit inducing, commercial self-indulgent [censored]!!!- 53 replies

Bradke has remained whilst most of his rehab group have departed. He is a keen observer of the senior players and occasionally gets instruction from a trainer on the finer points of the current activity -

Bedford seems to have very good foot skills.... Pruess also hits targets ... Sparrow tends to give the short kick more air... Fritsch still the standout by foot -

Impressed by Baker’s size... has a body to back his pace... looks like he will get games in 2019 -

The main group had a lot of fun in the initial warm up... the final exercise had pairs with both hands on the one football. When the whistle was blown the pairs had to try and rip the footy out of their opponents grip.., Jetta proved too tricky for Max, while Weids and May were called into the centre of the group to contest the ‘final’. The rest of the group were asked to stand behind the player they thought would win. Great delight from the Weiderman group when he was lightning in snapping the ball away from May... then ran off hurling the ball into the air to the delight of his ‘followers’!- 164 replies

Everyone on list out on the paddock... Hannan was very strong in the boundary line runs with rehab group... Keilty and Maynard also running well, Bradke bringing up the rear. Gus Walker running laps at medium pace by himself -

waynewussell replied to Satyriconhome's topic in Melbourne Demons
All this talk about Petracca's body shape/fitness is mildly amusing and symptomatic of the off-season blues. I suggest the doubters get down to Gosch's and have a closer look first hand... if that is out of the question, show some respect for the supporters who have. Petracca is tracking very well and we are blessed to have his unique talents. He is powerful, intuitive and highly effective in the role he played throughout a successful finals campaign... If it ain't broke...! -
Respect is such a difficult concept for some!

For those potting Garlett, check your stats on small forwards scoring 40+ goals in a season... Jeff has done it 5 times!
