  1. I never ever wavered from this Kid EVER! Thank Christmas we have drafted a potential superstar with Deft Hands!! A rarity now and as I have said Greg Williams like but with that electric BURST of speed Darcy Who??? Another Cale Morton!
  2. LOL!
  3. I do,! I reckon Uncle Bitters has more skeletons in the closet than "10 Rillington Place"! Gee that might stretch a few memories??!
  4. I've always had a thing about "Lady Penelope" Uncle Bitters, Spine tingling stuff don't you agree!??
  5. Yeah and I kinda love it Uncle Bitters and Cousin Iva!! Memories so defined reveal us in our true light!
  6. Agree Clarry Choo Choo my Rising Star! Re Ariel I have a Signed Vinyl and CD versions of the same by Mike Rudd and the late Bill Putt. I also have the criminally underarted Album "Rock and Roll Scars" again both signed. Tim Gaze?? an underated Australian talent, excellent guitar player and great voice! Now back to Clarry Choo Choo I would love to see him through $cully in no uncertain terms and play a dominant role in our first big win of the season!!
  7. Yeah well lets assume assume he plays every game! If he does then is the Club B&F outa the question ?? Not to mention the B Sheeit don't wanna get ahead of myself. Fence wake up! Wake up!! Sheeit I was having an "ARIEL" "A STRANGE FANTASTIC DREAM" ( some might remember this ground-breaking album from one of Australia's finest bands!??)
  8. Petracca Petraccca Petracca!! The hype is enormous!! The bloke hasn't even played a practice game and people are lauding him as the next greatest player behind Jahesus H Christmas! Time to chill ! Hasn't played even a praccy!! Ok for Mine I'll take Clarry Choo Choo to be the next Biggest thing at Dees! Petracca needs to really prove himself based on Hype and Expectation!
  9. Not sure weather patton's playing, I'll check with Jane Bunn, what da yer reckon Uncle Bitters, do you think she would know!??
  10. Morticia Adams always did it for me!!
  11. I wanted Wines we got Toumpas I wanted Oliver and we got him, Sheeit how many on this site now would have Curnow, Parrish and others now?? Yeah, not too bloody many! Sigh, Oliver is one of the brightest stars we have had in a long while, could be anything and I'm tipping 200 games plus! Thank Christmas we got one high pick right, FINALLY!
  12. Rob Flower never wore one!!
  13. Rob Flower never wore one!!
  14. I was at Highgate arena today and I watched him very closely. I will file a comprehensive player personel report later but I have to say. This Bloke is the "Real Deal" On so many levels he is an inspired selection. I say inspired because the Toumpas fiasco of yesteryear, The pressure to pick Darcy Parish, and or one or two others. So I'll give you my observations, 1 He set's himself in the right position for Offence or Defense 2 He has uncanny spatial competency! I'll call it the Dr. Who factor! He creates time and appears that he has plenty of time and peripheral vision to assess the right option for disposal which he gives off effortlessly. I have previously called the is the "Greg Williams" effect. I reckon if Greg saw him he would agree coz he's just as tough and Quicker!!!!!! 3 I saw him dispose of by foot today and he is very precise and clinical. 4 He has serious "Grunt Factor" got crunched once or twice got up dusted himself of and stared again. 5 Went for a few "Species" again don't mind a Mid playing tall, infact he was in FF for a period of time 6 He is taller than I first imagined but with good Musculature in the Thighs which then prepare him for good "Core" strength. I hope I'm not getting ahead of myself but Sheeit I reckon he is Bloody GOLD nugget! I'm putting a lazy $50 on him as the 2016 Rising star and I hope to Christmas he doesn't read Demomland and I've' put the mozz on him Oh one other thing I agree with Dazzle Man, I don;t read anything into the Chuckin and 70% game time It was friggen Bloody hot out there today!!
  15. Handpass technique?? Please illuminate me?
  16. For Chrisakes can we stop comparing Clayton Oliver to Jordie Mc Kenzie. Same hair color , same number, but that's where the similarity ends! Jordy Maximised every bit of ability that he had,which wasn't much to start with and played AFL footy. In my view plenty of blokes with stack more ability than him never ever played a game. He was an average kick, average handball, average mark, but could tag another player and that's about it! Lets face it Jordy Mc Kenzie was an indictment on our recruiting at the time and I doubt whether he would have been on anyone else's list. The fact that we gave him a 3 or was it 4 Year deal is damning at best! A deal of a lifetime for a tagger in a low performing footy team, what planet were we on?? Oliver on the other hand already has displayed "Rare" awareness of those around him and seems to have time to lay of damaging handballs which create havock with oppositions. He has pace, grunt and hunts the ball. I have already compared him to Greg Williams with his shimmy and stunning movement laterally and the fact he picked every right option to handball. Lets face it Dom Tyson could learn a thing or two about dishing of first time rather than trying to break every tackle on the planet! Clayton Oliver is NOTHING like Jordy Mc Kenzie in a footballing sense and IMV he will become a 200 game player with the Dees! Now stop comparing him. Jordy Mc Kenzie gave everthing he had and deserves accolades for playing AFL footy. But that's it!
  17. I hope you are trying to say that McKenzie was never a footballer but this Kid certainly looks like one!
  18. Welcome Clayton Oliver annnnnnnnnnn d, come on Downnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!!
  19. Oliver to debut!! Wundabar!! Really looking forward to watching this kid! Go Dees
  20. Sheeit I do! I want him to force his way into this team round 1 and sweep all before him! We haven't had a young high draft pick in years who comes straight into the team and tears the opposition a new one! Very welcome to the Club Clayton Oliver!! Given his very good form Friday I think if he's ready then so be it play him in the NAB cup games and if he continues showing the form he did Friday then what a tremendous shot in the arm for all Demon supporters, his family and himself! IF PICKED ROUND 1 " COMETH THE HOUR COMETH THE MAN " Luv this bloke already
  21. Sheeit I do! I want him to force his way into this team round 1 and sweep all before him! We haven't had a young high draft pick in years who comes straight into the team and tears the opposition a new one! Very welcome to the Club Clayton Oliver!!
  22. Meh, love lost is better than none at all even if it failed to be!
  23. Acknowledged Beezlebub! but hopefully you didn't mind me taking your comment and putting a different spin on it. And I do agree I feel we Have Learnt from our past Recruiting Blunders! Cheers "Fence"
  24. OFF SV6 MAG WHEELS WITH BRIDGESTONE POTENZA'S ON SPARE WAGON WHEEL FROM A LONG FORGOTTEN GHOST TRAIN
  25. Gawd I'm over this thread ,,, But I can't help myself! I was one very vigorous poster well and truly wanting Wines Over Toumpas. I don't care what 8 or 9 Recruiters said, I had seen enough of Wines to know he was the inside Grunt Warhorse and that we needed, so much more than an outside finisher in Toumpas Not that my opinion matters a Whit with many around here but now here is the stark reality. Double Blow for MFC We didn't get Wines and Toumpas has left after 3 lamentable Seasons. You can say what you like about who we picked up after Yadda Yadda but the reality is we got it so badly wrong and within that we really lost out on the Value that Wines would most certainly provided and doubly so The Value Toumpas never gave us! Given our history of dreadful draft picks we really couldn't afford to get that one so wrong IMV
