There’s an old fashion footy term known as “ the one-eyed supporter” . I image everyone knows what that means and their characteristics do not need explaning. All clubs have them. Loyalty on steriods. Their club and their players could never, ever do anything wrong. Joffa @ Collingwood comes to mind. Many Demonland members do not like the Joffas from other clubs and are quick to criticise them. They think, take your eye patch off. Just my opinion , but there are too many Red and Blue Joffas on this site.

Re: Essendon Drug scandal / media attention. Phew, that’s a relief , after reading the said comment I thought I was the one who must have been living on a different planet.

Until Daniel Turner is available, I like Schache for the role. I seem to recall the WB’s played him there out of the blue one game. Was one of the best and totally negated his opponent. For some reason they never persisted with him in the role. He can also give Gawn a chop out when required in the D50. PS. Try Clayton Oliver on a wing.

Yes, it seems all too common from the Social media pages of large/high profile businesses, they treat their customers like mugs, often you need to be a ‘mind reader’ to understand their inane captions. The people who post this rubbish seems to be immature teenagers who go about their ‘work’ unsupervised. I say make them accountable, get them to put their names to their work, the same as Print journalists. Perhaps then standards will be driven upwards for fear of embarrassing themselves.

Yes Petty is a star, could be the best swingman since Terry Daniher however if he doesn’t see himself as a LONG term Demon then I think it’s the right time to consider a trade. Petty may finish as a better player than Van Rooyen, maybe not, but considering all things, including injury concerns, Petty should be the one for possible trade. However only if a great deal is offered that includes a KP forward ie. Pick 10 and Fogarty Plus McAddam. ps. If we are so keen on Harley Reid but don’t have the capital, why not use it to prise an existing young midfielder like Jai Newcombe 22yo.

And McAddam, at the very least.

Yes, should have kept my mouth shut.

I agree. Otherwise, As it sits right now, how do we pay for McAddam and Fullarton with only P41 ?

I’d like to see Clayton Oliver have a change of roles which allows him to be released into more space. IMO he would be even more damaging and it should allow him to use the ball better as well.

Under the current system this is our best option. Whether it’s Lobb is debatable, but given that Forwards who can give a competent chop out in the ruck are extremely hard to find, Lobb is worth considering. Failing that, is it Van rooyen ? PS : If the AFL were committed to the development of young Ruckmen , I believe they should allow for a separate substitute for a reserve ruckman during a game to cover for injuries.

Berry, one of the dumbest footballers going around and extremely overrated.

Great photo, however l’m surprised the club didn’t make the effort to provide all of the names with the article.

No Plan B, or c or d, never had one. No creativity, no imagination, no dare. Plenty of Blind faith and most likely, ample amount of stubborness.

For a start, I don’t think Viney should start there. One sided and lacks breakaway speed.

No it doesn’t. It doesn’t explain why the Club didn’t identify his true talent and nurture it, instead of favouring others who had received many more chances and clearly had less up side. Having Bedford now would have substantially improved our Premiership chances.

It’s very easy to hide behind a ‘facepalm’. Was the question too hard for you to answer ?

How do you finish Top 4 if you don’t make a Preliminary Final ?

Why do YOU think “he chose to go” ?

Perhaps our biggest deficiency is the lack of quality small forwards. None are instinctive crumbers, most lack speed and they’re not that good at applying defensive pressure. The exception is Pickett, who is inconsistent and too often wasteful. Toby Bedford would have been a very nice keep.

Ok, but what did he do about addressing them ?

Yes, and he’s done it in fine style. The point is, there’s a huge ‘Elephant in room’ , that is the big MFC blunder in not retaining Toby.

Why did GWS want Toby Bedford ?

In Greyhound parlance, a Non-chaser. Has Lifetime membership in the Down Hill skiers Club.

Trent Rivers, likely to be rated in the Top 5 at MFC by the end of next year. That said, I think Judd McVee, in time, will be a better player.

Agree. Perhaps a better method would be for a Goal Umpire to refer WITHOUT giving a Soft signal. Then, if it was an ‘Umpires Call’,( insufficient evidence ) the Goal Umpire would make his call after the Arc.
