Fritsch Out for 2 Weeks with Fractured Hand
The Jackson FIX replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Play Melk deep With Chandler coming in to play Melk’s high half forward role. Keeps the pace/ pressure in the 50. Marking power the obvious risk although you just hope Jakey and TMac bring their hands -
Not begrudging his right to talk to other clubs, but I just wish he hadn’t come out spruiking the decision was ‘never in doubt’. Just feels false and dishonest when clearly there was some doubt. I’ve always struggled to warm to Oliver’s personality and this is an example of why. Having said all of that, I’m far more interested in his footballing performance than his personality.

Number on the back aside, whenever I see this kit I immediately think of Russell Robertson. Not sure why.

This. Is. Good. News. Looking forward to collecting the details so I can jam it down every Carlton-Supporting-Mate that have already bought Carlton tops with #13 on the back

Caro: Are the Demons the Real Deal in 2021?
The Jackson FIX replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Proliferation of media channels/programs is definitely changing journalism. After 3 rounds 10 years ago most of the media commentary around an unproven team who goes 3 zip would be ‘wait and see’ but nowadays commentators are obsessed with taking an early position and making bold statements. ‘Can Melbourne win the premiership’ questions on podcasts are all about headline/traffic grabbing and very little about the reality of where we are at. -
A lot of hype about Moore but he gets a lot of goals kicked on him

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - LUKE JACKSON
The Jackson FIX replied to Lord Nev's topic in Melbourne Demons
Conceptually like the idea but you’ll lose a small (eg Sparrow) to achieve that which might throw the defensive balance and mid-rotation plan out. -
The Tom Sparrow Made Me Cry Thread
The Jackson FIX replied to John Demonic's topic in Melbourne Demons
The 1%er. Don’t feel like I’ve seen enough of that in recent years. I hope the young fella gets called out when the team review the game -

Not the thread for it but Cameron Ling is limited as a human being
-
They need to burn it down and start again. The editors there have too much power (I’ve had to deal with them before) - they are obsessed with video and have ended up with this shocking imbalance. Unreadable/unwatchable/unbrowsable.
-
My guess is the coaches don’t judge his performance on either of those stats. I thought he looked too slow pre-season but his pressure has been good first two games.

What they're saying at Parramatta Road
The Jackson FIX replied to Deeman's topic in Melbourne Demons
“Scully to kick 3” -
Quiet early but important in the last

PTSD kicked into gear tonight seeing Geelong rob the opposition of the win at the cattery late in the game. I still have tuohy nightmares
-
Completely reasonable to make some selection decisions on who you are playing.
-
Probably right re. multiple factors impacting crowd volumes... no doubt the issue is exacerbated for smaller clubs by the rabid media commentators. I’m mainly worried about fixturing now - sloppy game in Rd1 plus the perception that even our own supporters won’t come and watch us will see us end up with more than a few Sunday 4.40 timeslots Rd 6 and beyond.

In his presser Goodwin made a comment which suggested that AVB Hibbo & Melksham not in the mix this week
-
I don’t disagree with you. ‘Jones out’ prediction was largely based on them looking to up pressure on the ball carrier this week (Jones didn’t lay a tackle last week). Plus I am guessing they’ll use Jones more sparingly this yr than they have in prior years.
-
Trying my best to read between the lines in Goody’s presser I see Viney and Chandler in. Harmes out and my best guess is Chunk out with him.
-
Would’ve really liked to have played ‘aints when Brown/Weid were back. You can stretch them down back.

That’s where I heard it. -
Clayton Oliver Contract negotiations

I don’t make stuff up. Pre-game he’d revised his expectations because he knew the ticket sales. The week prior he is on record as saying he forecasted 45-50k.
