PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 22nd January 2025
The Swimming Dee replied to Ghostwriter's topic in Melbourne Demons

Where are the Goody haters? You guys have disappeared? Still celebrating the win?
-
Not in the best five MFC players on the ground according to the AFL website. Personally, I thought he was BOG. Ridiculously underrated, which is fine by me
-
The Coach bashing is so tiresome.
-
I really hope we are in Jack McRae’s ear. He would be a perfect fit for our midfield I reckon. Does anyone know if he is a free agent at the end of this year?
-
Is this the same bloke I heard had Bailey Dale rated in the top 3 players in the competition? His and his silly stats opinions are irrelevant
-
That’s seriously your first post ever on Demonland? What a ridiculous take
-
Rohan is not a spud. You don’t play close to 200 games if you are a spud
-
I think you are wrong. We are up to our necks in it this season. I think our best is the best there is
-
Disco up forward reminds me a bit of Brodie Mihochek; presents strongly, an intelligent footballer, good skills and looks a reliable set shot. I re-watched the hilights earlier and his performance was very exciting. He could be the missing piece we have been looking for
-
I thought Billings had a good game. A few mistakes but much better than many others
-
I also think Petty hasn’t quite looked like he has full confidence in his body since he has come back. The not invested narrative is emotional rubbish
-
He is a very good player. We should definitely pursue him if he is looking to leave
-
Good looking lineup if we can get them all working together
-
Drop one of the Pettys and add JVR
-
He is right though. I find Chris Scott more and more insightful and generally agree with him on most footy matters. What the hell does Cameron’s character have to do with a sling tackle
-
We don't normally play games with late changes, so unless someone (Lever or Oliver) needs more time to prove their fitness then I would think that we will go in as named.
-
A real nice spread today. ANB, Sparrow and McVee all very good!
-
He’s cheerleading for Hawthorn. It’s rubbish commentating…just call the game
-
He is an absolute star of the competition

PREGAME: Rd 01 vs Western Bulldogs
The Swimming Dee replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Happy for Marty Hore. Not many players get a second chance, especially not at the same club and especially not when they were a mature age player the first time. I hope he does well and can cement a spot in the team -
PREGAME: Rd 01 vs Western Bulldogs

Interestingly no Jack Macrae for the Bulldogs. Is he injured or just not selected? -
The music after each goal is so stupid

A few thoughts on last night and some mitigating factors: - Oliver looked extremely tired at the end of the game and pretty rusty throughout. He will be better for the hit out. I wonder if he would have been played if Gus was available…I doubt it but they probably thought they needed him for his big body and experience. - Whilst Spargo has copped a lot of criticism last night he has runs on the board in my opinion and should be picked next week. He didn’t get enough of the ball but was burnt on several occasions when he was in space. One was by our captain when he had a paddock in front of him. Max decided to not give the handball which he should have…sometimes Max holds up the play after a mark too much in my opinion. - I don’t see it with Laurie. He is not quick, not an extractor, not an accumulator and doesn’t seem overly skilled. Has a lot to prove to stay in or get back in the team. Billing’s should have been played ahead of him and I hope he is next week. Maybe Laurie out and Tholstrup in is a good move? - Petracca didn’t have a great game but I felt like he was struggling with balance between the forward line and the midfield. I wonder if throwing Clarry forward in the last quarter and Trac into the middle might have been worth a try. - Max didn’t have his best night but wasn’t smashed as some have suggested. I think we will be better for next week, especially with Pickett back in the team.
