Could this be our "against-the-odds-Hogan-out" win for the year........? Geelong 2015 Hawthorn 2016 Adelaide 2017??? -
MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 8
Upper Combukta West replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
I liked the wrap on Mitch King in the VFL report. "...We want him to have more of an impact around the ground, particularly in marking contests." I have a suspicion they're grooming him for a forward/ruck position. ....not that this has any impact on this weeks game. -

POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 5
Upper Combukta West replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
This is the first thing my brother started yelling out when the melee started, LH. I think Riewoldt actually entered the field of play so they had 19 on the ground during the melee. Let alone the fact that he and Prestia were interfering with opposition players while on the bench. Not sure where the rules apply though. -
Not sure whether it's been discussed but could Mitch King become our Forward/Ruck?? I see he is listed as 4kg's heavier than Joe Daniher at the same height. Obviously he would need more time to develop but perhaps he could be a project player for early to mid next year as a forward?

Casey Demons v North Ballarat
Upper Combukta West replied to KC from Casey's topic in Melbourne Demons
Herald Sun reporting (from Josh Mahoney interview on Triple M) that he is fine and playing future not under threat. Mahoney mentioned it was on the minor end of the spectrum and he is in contention to play next weekend. http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/teams/melbourne/melbourne-believe-angus-brayshaws-career-not-under-threat-despite-another-concussion/news-story/916ae01dca1d24bf09e80364c90fef43 -
Oliver is a gun! I love his kicking when he's on the run. He winds up like he's going to kick it 60m but then weights it perfectly for 15, 20, 30m kick like the one to hogan mentioned above. Great to watch and it seemed like the oppo and even our players fall for the big wind up every time.

JLT Round 2 vs. Carlton at Casey Fields
Upper Combukta West replied to Wiseblood's topic in Melbourne Demons
Actually it's not a high ball drop. Tmac and Omac both have the unfortunate kicking style where they hold the ball with one hand from behind and drop it from that hand to the foot. This means they don't really guide it down nicely with one hand on the side and they get some horrid kicks. -
Just a thought... but if the memberships they took over the weekend were paper based or need some sort of manual entry or credit cards run etc. then that data would only be entered today or tomorrow and show up in the updated numbers on the website by Tuesday or Wednesday. I think there will be a jumpin numbers from the weekend in the next day or two

Check the "social" tab on the app or instagram. Big smile on his face in a photo with Nev and Tmac from the family day yesterday.

Eddie on triple M this morning tried to feed this to anyone who was listening.... People were using the ipad to cast the feed to a full size screen. This isn't allowed because Ch7 and Foxtel have the rights to broadcast to full screen media. So they made it smaller to dissuade anyone from trying to mirror their feed. Just buy a foxtel subscription and get the foxtel app was Eddie's advice....

Post Season Discussion 2016
Upper Combukta West replied to Deemented Are Go!'s topic in Melbourne Demons
Looking back at the season and then looking forward to 2017, I see it this way.... 6 games we didn't turn up 3 games we just missed out If we have a similar season to 2016 but reduce the games where we don't turn up to 4 and pinch one of the games where we were close but missed, that brings us to 13 wins and in this season that would be enough to see us with a finals berth. I don't think that would be too much to ask from the team that played this year plus potential in's over trade period. -
What it comes down to is making up the difference between 104.8% over 21 rounds and 107.6% over 22 rounds. High scoring or low scoring we need to win by 166.4% to make up the % this round. (107.6*22) - (104.8*21) = 166.4

I always knew $cully would get us in to the finals............
