2019 Player Reviews: #4 James Harmes
For this mad Melbourne supporter (me) seeing that mad Melbourne supporter (Harmes) living out his boyhood dream makes me very envious. From rookie to best 22: great story, and probably better to come!

Goal Kicking Coach
Of course the club could save some money and just point the players towards You Tube where they will find many, many instructional videos devoted to the art and science of kicking an Australian Rules football.

2019 Player Reviews: #2 Nathan Jones
Probably his final year! 14 games to go! Will he make it?

Longest Kick Competition 2019
How tall is Clarry? When seen standing next to Nick Riewoldt he doesnât look that much shorter, and he certainly looks taller than â the chiefâ! Heâll be a very very powerful lad when he grows up!

Demons Grand Plan for Yarra Park Training HQ
I believe this idea was discussed back when Joseph Gutnick was president. Why it didnât go ahead, Iâve no idea.

EJ Whitten Legends Game 2019
That really was a shocker: how so many go to seed, (Bob Murphy excepted). I understand the late E.J. Whitten has made an appearance at AFL House threatening to haunt Gillon McLachlan for ever unless he promises never to put it on again!

Demonland Player of the Year - Round 23
Who else but Max? No one! 6: Gawn, and congratulations on an excellent season-well played! 5: Frost, a bit of a toss up but sh*t youâve improved this year. I expect even better in 2020! 4: Viney, I still love you even if others donât! (and, anyone who owns a Bernese Mountain Dog must be OK)! 3: Fritsch, really becoming fun to watch! 2: Petracca, goodonya tubby! 1: Oliver!

Who will be our caretaker coach mid next year if Goodwin is sacked ?
Steve Smith has just stepped down from his time as MCC president. Give him time to learn a little more about todays AFL as opposed to the way the game was played in his day (30/40 years ago)?!

Get Adem Yze back to the Dees.
I believe a number of supporters would like Adem Yze back at the club in an assistant coaching roll. Is he the best person for the job? You ask! Well, his time at Hawthorn during a pretty successful decade or so would indicate he has some ability. Maybe what he brought to Hawthorn by way of coaching could be transferred to Melbourne. This is no mere nostalgia trip but a desire to get the best possible personnel at the club and Yze may well fit the bill. However Itâs not up to us is it! The football department may not want him, and he may not want us!

Vale Frank "Bluey" Adams.
One of my boyhood heroes. A very sad day, RIP Bluey.

My 2019 List Appraisal
You need something like an NA (not assessable) category for players like Dunkley and a couple of others ( maybe Lockhart) until theyâve played more than a few games. C+ Delistable is far too harsh!

2020 Assistant Coach Prospects: The Next Batch
Adem Yzeâs the bloke who interests me. Heâs now had many years of experience working at Hawthorn in what is a very winning culture and works directly with Clarkson on match days. I think he was backline coach for a time during their premiership period.

Demonland Player of the Year - Round 16
I didnât have Frost in my six best however for me he was probably next in line. As you say the good outweighed the bad, and thatâs getting better every week. Was it Goodwin or another of the coaches that said something along the lines of âwe donât always know what heâs going to do with the ball, but then again, neither does the oppositionâ ??. Love his attack, love his run but hold my breath when he gets rid of it!

Calling Nick Rewoldt
Yuck yuck chuckle, chuckle: very good. Given Goodyâs past indiscretion, I donât think so!

CASEY: Rd 10 vs Collingwood VFL
Very impressed with Dunkley as well. And good to see KK doing well: I was concerned for him, but he was very good today, may have a future.
