    Stats don't lie, the man is a freak - I can't wait to see how much he develops in the next 50/100/200 games!!

    Post Match Discussion - Round 5

    Red But Mostly Blue replied to Nasher's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Still gutted by last night's game (the fumbles, the inability to capitalise in our forward 50, the passengers in our team), but this is one of the best counter posts I've read so far. Keeping positive, despite the burning in my gut that I've seen this show before...

    Roos: "They’re so easy to score against"

    Red But Mostly Blue replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Yep, absolutely. We are surely the quickest team to score against. Whenever I see the ball cross into the other half, I almost always chalk it up as a score, because I'm so used to it.

    Name 3 good things

    Trac/Gawn/Oliver all excellent (minus 'that' moment). Came back in q3 where historically we have tended to fold, and let the game blow out. Took a top4 team to the brink, even though we didn't play as well as we could have. Yes, they were sans Danger and Harry, but we were also missing TMac and Jack. (I was there, it was electric - we'll fine-tune, it's going to be a great year - thanks for the positive post @billyblanks29)

    Goodwin says Viney & TMac out for 6-8 Weeks

    This is terrible... BUT if we are truly to become the great club we should be, then this is just a test and some of the other guys will step in the fill the void. We have plenty of talent and some interesting newbies, such as Bayley Fritsch to remind us that we're more than 2 players. This is also a great opportunity for Weideman to step up. We have a great list. Let's go, boys!! So excited for Sunday.

    Welcome to Demonland: Jake Lever

    Red But Mostly Blue replied to stevethemanjordan's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Given the percentage that cost us a spot in the finals, having Jake in the team would have saved some of those precious points scored against us. If we had made the finals, who knows what could have happened. We beat most teams in the top 8. We beat Adelaide, and should have beaten the Tigers (before we choked - in a game where Jake's skills could have stemmed the tide). So players like Jake make a difference, and lift the rest of the team. This trade is costly, but you always get what you pay for. We're paying for 10 years of actual defence, and youngsters to one day learn from Jake and the others who have benefited from his presence. The fact that Jake wants to be here shows we're on the right track. Bring on 2018.
