PRESEASON TRAINING: Friday 24th January 2025
58er replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Should not have resigned Marty Hore so early and had easy enough time to place Roy on our list if followed that time frame. A panic selection like how we shelved Young Mac Andrew’s brother with either Hore or Mentha. Needed a CHB or FB recruit more than Ricky really and definitely Marty as he is 10 years older!!! -

AS I have said if OD was a selector or Coach we would not have Gawny at all after about 2/3 seasons and gee I reckon Trac might have been in trouble at the end of 2019!!! -

Yes Old Dee fails to realize that after ONE season ends the next one is not guaranteed to be the same especially with young developing players and new recruits. Has virtually written off for the 2025 season McAdam Jefferson Billings Fullerton and Verrall. Yes 2024 season was not great but reasons for this and it would be great if the first 3 especially had improved seasons then our list depth would be much improved. -

Should be on slightly reduced bunch of games early on ie managed to ensure full season of fitness if he is full on form early in the season. Some )have doubted his ability ( like those questioning Jeffo) You are right but really 30 in a medium/small is not a finish year for career and both deserve a second/third season to absolutely find their best form. Sport is a fickle beast and don’t write off anyone due to age. -
Please nothing to do with Jeffo and he ultimately did not play but was an emergency. My point was to be accurate and not just repeat rubbish from many people who have never seen Jeffo play as an improved VFL player who kicked 30 goals in 17 games at the same average as JVR did in his pre and second VFL season with Casey. You also got his years wrong saying 3 and not correctly 2. Not your greatest post Jnrmac.
-
They did in 2024 losing their last 4 games to miss the 8, only have to repeat that again.
-
Agree with Brayshaw ahead of Febes as he is a premiership player and played and succeeded in more big games perhaps. Fritta very unlucky and Kossie probably Sub ahead of Flash or Jmac.
-
Think you would take the chance s….d
-
Darcy is injury prone and has not had one 6/8 matches year missed in his career. Best to recruit Jacko and his Mum back. Sorry for this stupid post but let’s be serious let’s get Tracy or Serong or Andrew Brayshaw or two of them for Kossie if he ever goes to Freo.
-
How it’s that ? 2000 was the myk or whatever so you are wrong IMO.
-
Agree. Please Jimbo read Angus’s lips and public speeches over nearly exactly 18 mths are clear and consistent. Take notice of them.
-
Have Carlton been a basket case also? Freo? Tigers? Lions ?
-
Let’s wait and see mate.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 22nd January 2025

But why be so stroppy about it and distort the truth? Makes no sense just because mostly all others got it right. Clarry deserved better than a free blow to his cheek given he did try IMO despite your assertions. -

Excuse or reason ? it has to be one as he was hampered by the injuries and clearly was not able to attain fitness. IMO he is entitled not to be judged and if it’s not an excuse it’s a reason. Some of the comments here are seemingly upset by Clarry no being able to produce his usual stellar form. The guy was clearly not himself and fitness started his problems exacerbated by the injuries mentioned. Very salty to not concede the truth after his magnificent contribution to our team since 2016. Fortunately he seems well conditioned and fit ready for a return to his champion status. -
I am also of the opinion that he has only been at the club for TWO years previous not THREE.
-
You must have missed last half of 2024. If you are going to comment please br accurate. Goody would not have made Jeffo an emergency 3 weeks in a row at the end of the season without the actual improvement he has actually made. Many in the Club are looking forward to him continuing on with his impressive development It is disappointing to read of criticism that is inaccurate. Credit where credit is due please.

Not for defence really but maybe depth as a forward. -
Agree about Jeffo but he may get his chance having to replace AJ or another forward. Wont be JVR or only Turner if injured or even perhaps Fritta. But definitely agree re Jeffo as having very good forwards skills along with Disco learning or having some already.

It’s not Clarry you are confusing us it’s the use of Ollie!!! -
Plenty of time yet for McAdam he hasn’t had any time with no pre Xmas to stand him in good stead. Needs an intense few weeks now and practice games to be any chance for the early rounds.
-
Agree Johnson will not be a huge possession earner but his touches marks and handballs will be very good for the team and his other forwards. He will also take the premier opposition defender most likely that means JVR is not quite under as much pressure with Turner ( or Jeffo) the third banana. Happy days for Fritta and the others will also be able to be much more positive as forwards.

What about Pup Brown as a forward flanker? -
