Docs Demons

Can't see where Dr. Gonzo said anywhere that he hates him. Just mentioned the facts of last few years. Can't deny that. Time to get over it as I have said prior you support the club not a player. I stayed true to the club when RDB left for the Baggers so how about we all again get behind the club as I reckon, we could be in for a good ride with the newbies and our excellent crop of youngsters.

Yep, we have let go two past champions (emphasize past) who did not have one ounce of leadership in them and acted as spoilt brats and receive an outstanding person in Steele who is a leader (on and off the field) and will push and encourage our young mids to take over the mantle. Looking forward to what the future brings.

In hindsight the long-term contract was poor however I support the MFC not any one player and will trust they know what they are doing with Oliver. Alot more than the so-called supporters on here.

Very silly comment. 2019/20 were not that great but guess what happened in 21. We have some very good young talent and in my view it's upwards and you need to follow another side if you think differently. To many negative people around here. Stay on the horse or get off.

Yeah, I suppose all players will be leaving as they ALL will be meeting with King in next few days. Unbelievable what these Journo's get up to, and they actually get paid! With Oliver I can only assume that King will reiterate what his game plan looks like and where Oliver fits into that. Oliver has stated, through his agent he loves the club and wants to prove a point next season. Unless King actually tells him to move on, he is staying and will have a blinder with us next season.

A quote from Bert Newton (slightly changed due to everyone being prim and proper). " I like the man". Took him 5 minutes to work out we need elite kickers with high skills which is what myself and many on here knew for a long while. Buckle up people. We are going on a nice ride upwards, I hope.

I'm not bothered one little bit with him wanting to move back home. Prefer to have a list of players that are 100%committed to the Demons. Trust the club will fight for once on a decent return for him.

Went a bit early eh picket!

He was truly a champion of the game. Everything said already is spot on and one I will add is that he never fell over. A sign of a great player. Mate of mine was the fitness guy in those days and went to just about every game and in the rooms after with my young son (who is now late 40's) and yes, we were [censored] for most of his career but was loyal to the Demons and happy to chat after a game. Brilliant, brilliant player on the wing when most teams had great wingers then in the backs.

And me. Great choice and onwards and upwards from here and i Hope we stick it up the Wilson's etc.

With you on this but we are talking about the MFC who are very amateurish at best. Volunteers at local clubs do better than what we do unfortunately.

Just watched Jones speak in announcing the young player and he struggled to get 2 words together. Love the bloke and how he played but gives me the shivers when speaking. Hope he can get the message across better as the mid coach!!

I'd be getting rid of most of the so-called AFL listed players who were pretty ordinary for Casey. Acknowledge some are for depth but boy you wouldn't want to have many,if any in your senior side. 15 listed players and they couldn't beat Frankston. Shows we lack decent depth.

Happy with that.

He was just OK Dazzle but hence the reason I reckon we let Chocco go. His skills are shocking along with most of the players. JVR should have taken at least 5 pack marks when in front but just dropped the ball. Even his snap goal early he should have marked it. We need a skills/development coach ASAP so JVR and the others like Rivers, Sparrow, Howes etc. can work on their skills at the start of preseason and be ready big time for 26. Very disappointing season with the close losses which I put down purely to our lack of skill with ball in hand.

We should stay calm on young White. It will take some time for him to become an AFL player. Couple of preseasons and learnings at Casey will help and I hope he does make it and be nearly as good as his old man.

I know the world has changed but back in my day playing if we had the AFL as it is now back then no one would be playing.

Honestly if they both want to go then let them. No use having players that are not invested. Let them dump kick the footy somewhere else.

Another was the fact he will not miss driving to Casey. This is a big concern for us in obtaining a new coach and players. Our new home has to be announced soon or again we will be left with the dregs as far as recruiting is concerned.

I honestly reckon we have a big chance in this game. Naughton in my view is a downhill skier and has shown in past when pressured goes to water. Darcy though is an issue. IMO it all comes down to the Mids. We win that battle and lessen the supply to Dogs forward line we will be right in it. Their backline is poor but so is our forward line. Win the middle and hope to hell a forward or two play out of their skin and we will have it.

Spot on BBB. I mentioned at half time in the game day thread that it was the worst game I've seen all year. 2nd half was much better, and Petty actually got in front and held onto his marks. Much better half by him. All we need now is for concrete hands to start taking grabs (in 2 hands be nice) and have a good last few games to set him up for next year. All in all a good performance and hardly had a poor player.

That first half would be the worst footy I have seen all year. We deserve to be where we are at as there is no system at all and when we are free, we just turn it over. JVR needs to get rid of those concrete hands or just stop playing footy as he looks way below the standard. Same with Petty. I suppose we have a half to get better.

What about Dermie. Just as bad. Can't stand the bloke.

We are playing well but when it goes near JVR and Petty it's just a straight turnover for the Saints. Those 2 need to lift big time in the 2nd half. I'll be the first to cheer when either of them take a pack mark.

Just shows how bad our skills are. We really need a good skills coach over the off season.
