You should be senior coach, seem to have all the answers. And a people-person too boot! -

Nice work, Detective Picket Do you wear camo to hide in the bushes around the Casey ground? -

Ha! That's going to be your go-to quote every time you get told off, isn't it dazz? 🤣

Change coming to the Academy System
Stiff Arm replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
So according to The Age article, an academy or f/s would need to use a pick in the round a bid is placed to be matched, either current year or a future pick. Not next year, of course, because picks have already been traded. But guess what?... just in time for Kalani White in 2025 draft! Once again the goal posts are shifted and we come out losers Coll, GCS and WB must be howling with laughter at the thought of this, given their great hauls under previous rules -
If we miss the final 8 next year then ...

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 27th November, 2023
Stiff Arm replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
I think we might see young Woey jnr force his way into the side more this year. Looks fit and now has the body to match. Very coachable kid too, from all accounts. Good on him -
Especially the current board, led by a person noted throught her career for getting big projects off the ground

I think we will win the flag in 2024. But it requires a number of things, not limited to: - very good run with injuries, particularly R18 onwards - Clarry to get his act together and do what Clarry does best - McQualter to fit in seamlessly to the FD and add new insight to our forward entries and set up In the very slim chance we do not make finals, there will be some significant list changes, most notably senior coach -
Not to my recollection. Olympic Park came after Coll took what is now Lexus Centre. Ridiculing the work Joe Gutnik did in saving the club is almost treason. We had no finances at the time to invest in the old olympic swimming pool, the books from then show that. He stopped the merger and put in the single biggest donation the club is ever likely to see. Sure, he wasn't perfect, didnt fit the typical footy following stereotype, perhaps ran it his corperate way, which may have been required at the time. And the real estate investments he made are the reason we are now financially independent. But posters claiming to know the inner machinations of the board from that era without being on the board are just big-noting contrarians spreading hearsay. Not saying that about you Diamond Jim, btw. Just a follow on from previous comments to yours

PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 29th November 2023
Stiff Arm replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
There's usually parking along Alexandra Ave and a short walk over Morrell pedestrian Bridge straight to Goshes paddock -
I read that the Coll Olympic oval is undergoing resurfacing, and while that happens they will, for a while, use Goshes Paddock
-
And the Casey area?
-
Not very good with surveying an oval down Geelong way

Like the look of him. Runs very hard, good awareness coming out of congestion, neat decision maker Needs to eat a 🥩 for breakfast, lunch and dinner and hit the gym over summer.

How dare you have a differing view! I'd be wrapped if Kolt developed into the dangerous small/med goal kicking forward that we are so lacking atm. I sit at the G with someone who screams every time ANB fumbles and stuffs up an opportunity. It's quite entertaining to watch

Only 3 years before Mitch Robinson 😉 How about Toby Nankervis, Mihocek, BBB, Jeremy Howe, Jimmy Webster, Liam Jones, Aaron Hall, Lachine Weller, Tarryn Thomas or Alex Pearce?
-
Ah... but you know, if we select him, this will be the MFCSS reason he leaves to return 'home'

Wild speculation in much of your assumptions. Stating it is so does not make it true. You have no more idea than any of us if KT is to be picked by us nor if he is best available at 11 (13). The only 'fact' we know is that JT has a great record of picking what we need. Have a little faith

Beautiful location. Espy to Perth is a 8+ hour drive. I did it once hitchhiking in the middle of summer. Ahh... the stupidity of youth! Can see why he'd stay home for the night if his whole family couldn't get over. Sometimes we forget these are just kids, often from families that aren't flush with cash
