Well let me address it in turn, 1 Where would I look? Well, for one I am not paid to spend my time looking and doing all the groundwork that could have been done anytime by employees of the Club tin he past 50 years. 2 Delicate matter, what a load of ..... This is not a classified military site proposal. Hawthorns new expansive premises was not a delicate matter, nor the others Clubs development such as North Melbourne in a tighly held inner city precinct. You know North Melbournes base is as close to the middle of the CBD as ours.. 3. Do you really think the Club does not make an announcement on their progress to the wider membership because of a few disgruntled, and rightly so people on here. 4. Not sure that makes sense. Ask who?

James Frawley Retires... And Starts Playing Again
Half forward flank replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
lets assume it is four or even five years for a contract, regarless of the fact that is not AFL average. Do you agree a player is not the property of the Club when the contract finishes. -

Property of the Club. Pretty sure their families ,wives and girlfriends might argue that. slavery has been abolished for a while now. -
James Frawley Retires... And Starts Playing Again
Half forward flank replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
frankly I think you are taking the pi.. Football Clubs do not give out contracts for the life of a players career. Players and Club typically commit for three years. That is the extent of each parties loyalty to each other. I think you are confused with amateur, social footy or underage stuff played with your mates. AFL mateship is mostly BS. -
Sorry to say, I just do not believe there is an option near the G. pert says there is a magic plot of land or lands they are looking at and yet refuses to say where. Smoke and mirrors from the bloke who supported the idiotic proposal at Jolimont.

I read it and found it astounding and frankly ignorant of the modern football career. That is why I politely asked you to clarify it. -

Cares about the game. What to you mean by that Ohio? -
It is the Melbourne Cricket Club not the Melbourne Footy Club. And they have been sub leasing it to other Clubs starting with Richmond for over fifty years.

Yes, true. what is bewildering to me is the Jolimont proposal viewed the MCG parkland as just car parking space and had no feel for how the community viewed the area. anyone who had walked the area on a non footy day will get a totally different feel for the area and its mixed community usage.
-
Clubs like the Bulldogs have been successful because they undertook extensive member and community consultation before developing their plans. I have heard of no such consultation with the community surrounding the vaguely proposed precinct we are supposedly done the track on. Yesterday I took a non footy day walk in the area we proposed for the Jolimont development. It was a lovely day, people were out walking, some playing basketball, others picnicking under trees. How anyone could propose carving that up and thinking local residents would not object is bewildering. And before some say anything. It was young people using the area not just the conservatives action group that opposed the idiotic proposal.

2020 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever
Half forward flank replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
I think Jake has had an easy ride to AFL level. At 195cm and not being required to play man on man is a gift. Easiest position on the ground to play. Forget concentating solely on intercept marking, get him stronger and give him challenges of beating the best forwards. -
I noted that slip of the tongue too, and got ridiculed for saying it on here

Check victoria park out nowdays. It is a fantastic community park. Horse long bolted
-
Very happy with this move and a great example of not having to pay big bucks to get and keep a competent AFL player who just might come in very handy. His has know attributes rather than the hoping and praying with some others we have previously kept on the list.

I am not interested in Charlie. Lets see how he goes in big finals.

Come on ben, best player in the comp?
-
Each to their ability. Well done Oscar. I hoperd you would come on a bit more.

2020 AFL Mature age draft prospects

Gee a big step up to the AFL from those highlights. -
2020 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham
Half forward flank replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Yeah, needs some strong goals set for 2021. With his skill and experience he should be really firing and a tough matchup. -

I think he needs to be fighting for a place from round one onwards. If he has failed after 5 rounds as a forward our season is likely in strife. -
WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BEN BROWN
Half forward flank replied to Dee tention's topic in Melbourne Demons
Yes he does and I think it will make some players more concious of their kicking. Even at suburban level you want to do a good kick to your star players. -

Half forward flank replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
The Club needs to set him some seious goals for 2021. Like kicking goals. I would not give him games based on leadership because I just dont see it. He is at a career stage where it could just be a paycheck. -
Then, logically it refers to high profile players. if it was lesser players they would be regularly dropped and delisted. My view is some big possession players do not respect low profile coaches no matter how good they may or may not be. It also gets to the game plan. Maybe if the game plan is best served by you getting twenty possessions and defending instead of thirty possessions doing your own thing so think, stuff it. I think Yze has instant credibiliity that may have been lacking.

Happy for Tom to stay, work hard, drop weight, adjust his game plan. Brown or Weid goes down and he is back as a wanted player. He got lucky with his contract. Good for him.
