Too complicated and most teams are not deserving of playing 5/6 times from Mon to Wed. We need a rest for injury etc. and a chance to live a few days without footy. Too much of it will turn People off and it will be turned into a TV game more than we want and the AFL favour.
-
No we need a further mid as depth not a flaky forward in the AFL.
-
No one please not our full time forward answer. But get him those 100 games please. Sub fine.
-
Why try and fix something that's not broke? Crazy! Fritta is so good because he is our designated 3rd or 4 th forward with a 3rd or 4th defender trying to outs kill some good to reasonable defenders . Most underrated forward in the AFL and so good he is OURS.
-
Whatever both do this season they will double their output and skill in 2024. Very exciting prospects along with Howes and Laurie who has improved heaps.
-
Would seem to me he will play a lot liked Fritta. But if he can lead properly he will get some good passes as well.
-
I think most would agree we field a regular CHF and FF and the Max/BG is an extra with Fritta and 2/3 smalls at times. But I agree the smalls are a potential difference now that the extra in Chin kicks goals and tackles like Kossie and Vines.

A real fake news item really. We have won by 50 50odd 62 and 90. And our accuracy has been a large part of those results. What it does say is when we play well out footy is in good shape as we are getting the ball to the front of goals plus getting goals on the run from close in. Tigers Was a 50/50 potential result but instead of kicking the game away like them we again kicked well and the 3 goal margin reflected that again. I am sure many Dees fans can recall over the 50 years especially when we had poor teams we would play like the Tigers well and bravely but we were our worst enemy with conversion and eventually good teams would overrun us with pressure and extra class. Now it's our turn to repay those results and reflect our skill and new found accuracy. Long May it last. They are not looking for Pies downsides just marvelling at their skill etc in close finishes even without more shots as the Crows kicked away the game on Sunday.

I was only saying NOT to bring Salo back "straight in" against what you posted Jaded you are thinking I don't want Salo till after say 3 or 4 games at Casey. Jaded You seem to have moved your goal posts now and want what I really posted. You will recall the disaster last season with Salo and that's what a repeat of should be totally avoided.
-
Terrible T on front Reduce in size and horrible yellow as well.
-
None of your points make a substantial reason for not having Tasmania nor a 20 the side that may come in time. Tasmania will be more successful because of its football heritage than the GWS and GC. It dares not to fail.
-
Apologies for typing.
-
What an instantly negative comment. Truthful in part TV a QQ/-/….- but we beat 17 when we were4 the best and GWS and GC have not been the spoilers. Maybe Tassie will be the new love child and win a flag before the two "outcast" AFL mobs. All except the perennial Dockers all other teams have won a Flag as they have come from AFL. The Suns and Giants have not. Tassie will be more productive and footy smart than the rugby states teams and admin wise. We will still be in flag mode most likely in 2027/8 so it's up to us to keep our window open and recent signings are a great sign of our future potential.
-
NO a thousand times NO. Not learning from last year if Salo comes straight back in.

Kozzy Pickett Re-Signs for 4 Years
58er replied to Timothy Reddan-A'Blew's topic in Melbourne Demons
Great news. We have a 4 year window ( or more) and our forward line snd midfield has just been improved. How good is it to have Kossie for another 100 games, 200 plus goals, plenty of snapshots, even more exciting runs kicking goals, 500 tackles, and a couple of medals around all the team's neck. Might even win a B and F as well. All the best Kossie stay fit and have fun. Shouted the house down when I read of your resigning. Thank you for staying. See you at Heritage Bank Stadium on Saturday. -
Petty to return Schache as sub or Harmes.
-
There is a parking area to the south of the Stadium off the Nerang/Broadbeach Rd. Pretty sure you pay as you go into park. It's only $10 I think. Pretty easy to exit after matches end to return same roads you used on the journey there. Might pay just to look on goldcoastfc.com.au website or ring them if any doubts.

Fans have queried Fritta's "level of intensity" since he joined the Deesmostly because of his extremely smooth and graceful style plus as a general rule is not as strong tackling or involve pressure in his game. For better or worse players like Fritta are singled out as not competitive and even play in a soft manner. I do not think there are any true Demon fans that NOW subscribe to that especially after Fritta's superb starring 6 goal effort in our fantastic drought breaking 2021 Flag triumph. Now another youngster who is highly skilled and not necessarily physical is being questioned by "armchair experts" many of whom have probably never pulled on a guersey let alone competed at an AFL Club level. Six games in and MJ is on the same journey as JVR and Judd McVee so let him be developed under our very successful system in his own time. Draft recruits are NOT the finished product so let these kids learn and develop at Casey and then we will reap the rewards in the future. Patience is a virtue Trac took a little time, Clarry was ready from Day 1 really and Gawny took an eternity with darts and pizzas the highlights while he rehabilitated from his multiple knee operations. One thing I believe we will be quite happy with MJ when gets his confidence and starts marking (and kicking goals) continually his image will basically change forever.
-
Harmes too slow why not get ANB to tag him Can run all day and tackle.
-
That's one thing ANB is not A PLODDER. Perhaps his role is to cute for some to understand.Stood up to scrutiny in 2021. Down a bit last year but back in the groove this year racking up pressure and distances covered in limiting opposition scores.
-
Correction the whole team Wasn't just the forward line was a fair portion of the team unfit, others with niggles and a very overall defensive mindset. You should have noticed a lot of changes to personnel, including a more positive game plan and a willingness not to repeat last years fitness errors, this season. Plus Goody's admission that we are a "work in progress" with experiments in the forward line, midfield and even defence. There are some challenges no doubt but we are better placed than in 2022 even if 2 losses behind at this stage. Our list is stronger more flexible and has more ability and depth this year. In addition our final quarters are promising, winning all so far. After the bye our potential best team should be forming and placed in the best positions to give us a real chance to put our best feet forward in the race this year. It's any ones really at this stage and no panic necessary.
-
Now he can start working out how to be Nick Daicos's shadow on King's Birthday. Congratulations Nibbler. You have out done your ability with so many other attributes to become a much loved player and team man in many of our best years. Another flag beckons before you retire. I hope you have been suitably rewarded. PS Just ask Kossie to get things done when he's ready!!
-
That is obviously incorrect or outdated. 934 games missing is far too many with Salo ( not sure but about 150 games in 9/10 seasons having most. There is only about 5 on the list also so would be about 300 inc. Spargy's approx 50/ 60/70 games ?).

Death Riding Fremantle 2023 - Feathered Cap Edition

After all it can be said that Brody did (or similar)to Richmond in the third and fourth quarters what Jacko did to the Dogs in the 2021 GFinal. -

Really that's not too bad losing your voice after all you are only expected to talk "in a whisper!!".
