  1. I see, Well I hope this works out well.
  2. Yes Junior Mc Donald was a great player
  3. He been a terriffic player for the MFC for many a year and have been the Red and Blue Blood that defines character. Getting to the end of a career is always hard but , his contributions, character, skill, and decisions like this can define a club.guts and determination have been second to none. GO DEES.
  4. Petty is a heartbteaker Melksham out never to return Spargo back to boystown Jones finished Gus ,ANB are they out there Brown last game Rivers fumbly and no awareness Thats for a start
  5. Picture this.... temperature around 27 warm , balmy nights and the Fence enjoying the majesty of a magnificent pool environment, does this sound inviting? Well I can tell you it beats the hell outa freezing cold conditions at CASEY FIELDS! But out here you still have to worry about slitherers but up here they are far more dangerous and bigger than their southern cousins, Taipans, Pythons and Death Adders are out and about but there is another.... more menacing presence .... which I will alert you to at end! Where am I?? Far north Queensland on Family business annnnd knowing there is a very very good local side "The Port Douglas Crocs" decided, upon hearing some footy sounds emanating from the local oval, decided to mosey on over... This team is the all conquering pre-eminent perenial premiership winners for last few teams and thinking that training will just be glorified Circle work well, you could not be further from the truth. SKILLS, DRILLS AND MANUEVERS Missed warm ups, probably coz ist soo hot up here you are already warmed up!! The coach was enthusiastic, and seemed to want to instill a fast free flowing game foundered on rebounding defence and quick ball movement. Some of the drills I have seen at Casey reminded me of some similarities at Dees, things like skills under pressure, creating options and space, pressure at the contest seemed to be the order of the day. Seems to be a very well run organised club who take their AFL SERIOUSLY, very seriously. Apparently many kids are interested and there is a 7 team competition. I'll leave you with this commentary that would not be outa place in Footy in the far north.. Centre bounce Pencil goes up, cleverly palms dexterously to top inside mid, Tank who transfers the air conveyance to free running and Hot..Sunshine. He gathers and evades traffic before sending a bullet like pass to Flash. Flash holds it up before playing on dodging weaving evading tantalising and mesmersing opposition before seeing and opening and delivering LACE OUT to competition glamour forward Sea Turtle. The turtle is a liitle too far out and decides to land it in the goal square. He kicks a big pack forms........ Annnnnnnnnnd Its ROBBO MARK 2 ( who followed the Demons all his life) and favourite player was Russell Robertson who launches himself into the stratosphere to Claim yet another MOTY Nomination... Crocs by 6 pionts ... 2 minutes in at that stage the pool beckoned a few glasses of cleansing refreshment and I left clearly impressed with local Footy Club Port Douglas Crocs Oh and the sign I saw at potential fishing hole was this FISH AND CHIPS MIGHT WELL BE THE GO I RECKON Cheers PF
  6. Mitch Brown would be my pick, but dont rule out MAJAK!
  7. Hold it a minute. It was NEVER in doubt in my mind and can I just say........ GO CLARRY CHOO CHOO
  8. Ah, when Im around a closed session is always open
  9. As I wrote last week he did NOTHING to earn a call up and yet was selected!! Performed poorly! Clearly a Goody fav, and given your summation put in or get out, on what justification does he get a gig this week!
  10. It probably was me but I had a hat and long range opticals on
  11. Yep harks back in some ways to 2018 plenty of grunt but just lack8ng polish! If this improves..... look out
  12. Really,? Hnmm is not some recognition enough? Still needs to deliver..... comsistently
  13. Talking to two ex AFL/VFL legends tonight,it was universally accepted that BOTH Choco and Adem Yze have had a profound influence on proceedings at MFC. Also might I add... Simon Goodwin would have to have bought into the fact that these guys would and should be able to work autonomously!! Go Dees
  14. Add Extra piont * Oliver just eats Tags
  15. Hello Demonlanders, Unfortunately Family business in far Nth Qld this week means I can't do a report. If someone can get down there and suss out training that would be great! Cheers PF
  16. Given what I saw yesterday BB Is teasingly close very tantalisingly so!
  17. I was very outspoken about Melksham getting a Gig today and he is a weak link . Given the way we are playing you cannot have a bloke that is not of that ilk.As iterated he needs to force selectors to pick him. He didn't and to my mind he should not play until he displays the grunt expected!
  18. 6 Tracc 5 Clarry Choo Choo 4 Max 3 Lever 2 Viney 1 Salem
  19. Coz u just told her that a Pulitzer prize winner is about to visit????? Baring rare gifts?
  20. Melksham! was ordinary! But other than that.......
  21. Thanks Uncle, is the maid hiding or have you already administered a fearful thrashing, and If I ever am in fair Romsey it would be a pleasure to provide fine wine for entertainment at "The Manor"
