Docs Demons

I would be happy with 50k which is only about 11k to go so a couple of wins early should see us get to this milestone.

Could not agree more. If it was for 4 points I suggest he would have gone straight back on. To say he did not come back on in a praccy game is stupid. Lions would have rested him as they had 26 players to rotate.

I rejoined again and also paid for twin Grand Sons this week so another 3 to the total. Great they play twice up here in Qld.

We should and need to play best possible team as last praccy game before season starts and last chance for the team to gel together and with the new rules. All those coming back that are shoe ins for first game need to play at least a half. Naturally no one goes flat chat and we hope no injuries.

Down the track he will realise the mistake he made in leaving the Dees and I do not now care one little bit. He is well gone and time to leave it be.

Training today? Understand they had the weekend, Monday and Tuesday off so assume they must have had a run today?

I might be a simple man but believe in a simple fix. 10 teams. 9 games and a final four. Extend season by one or two weeks. NO more teams for a year or two as talent is not there.

Bit of fun here but any club that Eddie has involvement with normally chock. That would have to be the worst effort I have seen from so called professional cricketers.

Agree. Two for one normally wins out particularly of the class of May and KK. Let's forget about Hogan and look forward to our team performing each week with all giving 110%

I'll go again please. Coach - Arthur. Team Name - Docs Demons. Cheers

No way that will happen. The Lions have been training in crap facilities for years, Live up here and even where we are training in Maroochy is better than what Lions have. Also more seats in balance up here for election so that's where the money will be spent even though would love a facility for whole club in Melb.

Our biggest problem is that we get starts and no one goes on with it. Those 20's and 30's need to go big for us to improve.

Saw Buxton-Wales in a final at Bayswater (when down from Brissie for cats final) for Vermont against Sth Croydon and he looks a good type. Would not surprise if he gets a few games as a ruckman with Bradke in support. That is if Pruess plays ones.

Don't forget the U19's. Used to go to the GF in old days early watching first, the U19's then the 2's and of course the big one if still sober!

Top 4 with a real chance of finishing 1 or 2 plus a home prelim

Agree. Not sure about a once in a generation key forward. Big statement. My generation has seen the likes of McKenna, Hudson, Dunstall, Lockett etc who all would eat Hogan for Breakfast. He is gone and for me I barrack for MFC not JHFC. Let it go as when RBD left I'm sure not many or any MFC supporters changed to Carlton or for that fact the many Hawk supporters moved to Swans when Buddy left. I follow MFC not a player. Took a while to get over Watts and see what he has done at Port so let's just get over Hogan and focus on the team we have, which I believe will give us plenty of smiles in coming years.

Concur. No way we trade Hogan for May. May would have made no difference whatsoever last Saturday as it was coming in at a rate of knots due to lack of forward and mid pressure. You could have had May, Rance and Lever and it would not have changed the result. Hogan is well liked by his team mates and I believe they would not be that happy if he goes and May comes in. Also May from what I hear at the Suns is not that well liked. I also do not rate him as a player or person and Hogan in my opinion (reiterate MY OPINION) has still plenty of upside.

I was a 12 year old and went to the G with a mate and his dad. All I can remember is we couldn't get into the Demon room after the game so snuck in the Maggies and saw the big Gabelich with a tallie of Melb bitter. Sticks out in my old mine like it was yesterday

He is bad news. Keep well away Dees!

Just got back home in Brissie after taking Sons and Grand Sons down for game. Being an ex Vic boy and been 20 odd years since at the G I could not ask any more from this team. We had an absolute ball amongst 80k Dee supporters at the G on Friday night. They bring the same intensity against the Hawks and clean up our entries into forward half and kick straight we are a big chance. It was unbelievable walking down to the G from our accom in East Melb. I reckon it must have been 3 to 1 Dee supporters out of ground and seemed about 10 to 1 in the ground. What a night.

He has to be selected and give Max a chop out in ruck so Tom Mac can stay up forward. Then it is up to him. He has failed with the opportunities he has had in the past. Must win game for the team and Weid must deliver.

The delivery at times is ordinary however Jess struggles to get in right position and when he does win the ball his kicking for goal is poor. This holding the ball and moving it left /right etc before kicking is not what should be done. Just hold the ball and run straight at the goals. I hope he can become a first class KPF but must start taking strong pack marks, lead more often and kick bloody straight. Still a youngster so here's hopeing.

Of course he will return to Perth. AFTER he finishes playing for the DEES.

And it must be working well as we have given teams hidings since he went to bench. Have talked to him a few times when he has been up here in Qld and comes across as a terrific fella that has time of day to chat. No doubt he encourages and supports the players plus constructive feedback when needed. From all accounts he is a very valuable member of the coaching group and for one I am glad he is with the Dees.

Concur. Tom Mac is a must and he can play most positions whereas Lynch is basically a 2nd or 3rd tall forward of which we have a few like Weeds, Smith etc. Not forgetting Hogan also. Doubt Lynch would fit in at all. The other thing is Lynch goes missing allot in games and we have enough of those. Gaff I would take if reasonably priced to cover Vince and Lewis when they retire. But keeping Mac is a no brainer.
