Demons 32

Id be for trading a top midfielder ie. Bruce, Green, Sylvia and pick 18 for Wells. And I think they would do that deal.

Really hope your right

Kangas wont give up Wells and a first round pick. Bruce, pick 18 and another late pick for just Wells. They might do that. Would love it.

Was at the grand final that year Rhino Dickards. Streaming from the back is not the midfield. Its a running backmen. A midfielder, the word midfield is the players on the wing/on the ball. In the square at the beginning. He started in the forward line. Spent time down back, went forward and played for about another quarter in the pocket. Chasing and puting on forward pressure. So because Nathan Brown runs through midfield that makes him our ruck roving midfielder does it?

O well if Connolly gets selected. Which hopefully he doesn't, I think everyone should give him a chance. Don't want him, but if he wants to coach the club, really wants it more than just a job. Then I'll be happy to sit and wait.

Obviously not because if thats how you do it and you say he doesn't. Being nominated by the players means that isn't the way you become intimidating. "Scaring the kids", heard of the little saying "ffotsteps". Players get nervous, will drop a mark, rush a kick.

They don't get the clearences because the hitouts are never to advantage, White and Jamar knock it down to the opposition.

Even if he doesn't get the ball, he was still nominated by 3rd most intimidating player in the AFL in a players association poll this year. Your obvious bias towards him makes your points seem stupid. If he had an outstanding game this week you would still say he sucked and everyone can tell that. He will not be gone. Only way he will be is if he demands another huge contract. I have constantly thought about the negatives of Byron, he did stuff up, he was overweight, lets not forget how much he has dropped since the drink incident. Since that incident he has been head down ass up and mostly everyone can see that. He doesn't want to not play footy, therefore the passion is there. He stuffed up, he has lost multiple kilos since then as is playing pretty well. He knows he stuffed it and knows his career was nearly over, heard of a wake up call. Give him a rest. Everyone else has.

They were going pretty well at the start of the year, Stevens was flying.

Yep, M. Murphy, B. Gibbs, B. Fevola, J. Waite, S. O'Hailpin, soon to be M. Kruezer, N. Stevens, A. Carrazzo, K. Simpson, A. Bentick, J. Kennedy, J. Russel. Alot of incredible young talent. People really underate Carlton.

Correct Rhino, the pre-season draft may become just as important as the draft. Think if two really talented players don't re-sign, we will be shattered to find that we cannot get them because we have pick 4. Pick 2 could get us a ready made start without trading. Ala Nick Stevens to Carlton. Players like him can be in the top 1 and 2 picks in a pre-season draft. It is vital.

A certain 200cm prospect for number 1 would fit right in at the MFC.

Well at their press conference on friday Hird was quick to promote Sheeds to be our coach so wouldn't surprise me that he would say something along those lines.

Lets face facts everyone was pretty crap. Did loose by 59 points. I dont know how you can find five positives. Only 3 I saw. Miller had agression at the footy again, shame his disposal and skill let him down (cancels each other out, not really a positive) Pickett had excellent 1 percenters. (Positive) CJ finally showed me something, he played well (positive). Otherwise, dull dull day.

I was told by someone that the decision wont happen till after round 22.

Don't bring back any of them unless they its fact they will al get hurt in first 15 mins. Wanna loose wanna loose. When im there I'll wanna win but for now.... wanna loose wanna loose.

The league rules state 14 can play in a team. So we need some serious injuries to get that many out there.

Are you saying Jonathon Brown is not on your leaderboard? I hope he is at least top 10. He should have got multiple best on grounds for a patch.

You miss out on alot in drafts. Plenty of bad choices and not everyone is a guarantee, but every few years there is a player you just have to get if your club with no real excitment. Someone who will get memebers in. Kruezer is the player.

What is your point? There is no marque guy drafted their for us. Think you are saying we haven't had the draft picks. Well thats what im saying, our chance to get a great one.

Yes from all accounts ive heard Hardwick and Bailey produces absoloutely amazing presentations. Im very keen to what they could bring to the club. To be a fly on the wall.........

Our backline always needed to be our focus. The worst thing about the Melbourne footy club has been backmen. It sucks. I don't remember us having a strong backline for YEARS!!! But of course don't forget. Carrol is the Full Back, will be next year. And with Rivers back next year Frawley will drop down. I doubt Bizzel will get another go but if he does, and we are winning, Bizzel will get the nod. However I rate Frawley, I think next year will be really good for him, playing on the 3rd best opposition forward like an 18 year old defender should. Rivers has been the biggest lose for the Demons. And im pumped about seeing him back out there next season.

Really do think your wrong. Not just saying it because I like arguing with you either. I really do, 100% think your certainty will bite you on the backside.

Quite some time ago mate. Everyone is retiring, there is a new breed of superstar, every one knows, marketable players. We don't have 1.

Ive always supported Pickett but I admit I was getting a little worried after I hear everyones opinions on how he plays on here. But now I realise..... Not number one football analysts on here. His tackling has been fantastic and his 2nd efforts rule. Dont care if he gets 12 possies pergame. 2nd efforts and 1 percenters are the greatest assest to a team. Anyone who has ever played a part in a succesful team will know this. I assume most people on here have at least played the game consistently for a few many years. And for those who have been a part of succesful teams they will know how important those things are.
