He won’t win it because he isn’t a mid. Reid and Sanders etc. will for that reason but he’ll get a nomination.

He’s exactly what we needed and continue to need…outside speed and precision. For an outside player he digs in hard too, which I love. 

I can see him being a mid over the years.

Might look at Hore and the suggestion of swapping Billings is a good one. Four day break is tough after such a gruelling game. 

I would give Billings a full game. Look at last week's game where he was nearly BOG. As for May, I would give it another week.

Stupid questions to Oliver on Kayo post game.

 

agree: The Press just want to hashtag old wounds and note: very little asked about his actual game day play.

1 hour ago, whatwhat say what said:

really? i thought a lot of people were saying how incredible his workrate and defensive efforts were

which they were, and have been for a long, long time

BTW me there are a lot of knockers for ANB here dating back years but I am with you. Him and Sparrow do a lot of things that go unnoticed and I thought last night both were "wanted" players in our team.

Tomlinson plays we lose. He is that bad. He plays 1 good game out of every ten the rest are rubbish. Haven't given up on T.Mac hopefully he gets a game against Carlton to prove himself. Sick of the rubbish from Tomlinson he's not up to AFL standard.

I agree. They should send him to Werribee....

After 167 games including the drought breaking Premiership Angus Brayshaw has made the heart breaking decision to medically retire from football as a result of a series of serious head knocks over his nearly decade of footy. We wish Gus all the best and he'll always be a hero at Demonland.

😢

Maynard is to pay for this.. so sad... xxxx

This is now confirmed. Practice match on Sunday, February 18th vs Richmond at Casey Fields. Start time yet to be decided.

The Demon Army will be putting on a sausage sizzle and we’re thinking it will be a good turnout since this is one of a couple of events this preseason that are essentially in place of a traditional Family Day, and because Richmond fans will no doubt turn up. This will be an important opportunity for us to raise some much-needed funds, too. Those giant heads don’t grow on trees, y’ know. Well, they’re made of paper so I guess they actually do grow on trees but y’all know what I mean. 😁

We need to outnumber the Tigers fans, so please try to come and support our beloved Dees. Let’s make this a wonderful prelude to season 2024!

GO DEES!!!

❤️💙

Interesting that it is against Richmond where they have Yze as Coach and we have McQualter in our den. Should make for an interesting fight.

To Tom and Ruby, so very sad to hear the news of baby Goldie Joan McDonald.

Our prayers are with the family.

Personally i don't think there were that many who wanted him in particular dropped. I think it was more frustration at what was happening generally over the ground. There were quite a few times the team had games won and something happened, we lost...

Oh no! I could fill a page with the "likes" of people who wanted him dumped from the 22.

You have a short memory. He was terrible in the first 7 or so games & should have been dropped, same in 2022. He got nicely looked after by the selectors.

Luckily he came good in the second half of the year & was a solid contributor.

 

ANB is in my best 22 and always has been. He is a TEAM player at heart. (and no I don't have a short memory when it comes to quality that ANB provides the Team. I rank him just behind Viney.)

I have a great memory in fact. Those who wanted him dumped then there were those of us who had faith in his incredible team spirit.

It’s not often BT says something intelligent but when he said, “Alex Neal-Bullen, a heart and soul player for the Dees…” he nailed it.

Thanks for posting these highlights, WW. 🙏 

Agree, but remember all the knockers here on Demonland last season who wanted him dropped?  Grrrrr

I think it would be good if the whole team - almost took some marks.

I suppose the Premiers inevitably get copied when it comes to tactics and players. Who's the Nick Daicos lookalike?

Seems like it is in fact Noah.

My point is that the post you were responding to was about McAdam’s fitness issues and you simply provided a history directly from Adelaide’s web page, which has nothing to do with his fitness issues. Also, if you’re going to quote word for word what is on the site, why not provide a credit?

and your point ?

All you’ve done is copy word for word what is on the Adelaide Crows web page. They’re not going to provide any information about the negative side of his development or his approach to training which is what Deebamboozle is pointing out.

and your point is ?   fyi: I just felt others may care to read about his history. Don't read it then.

McAdams issues in Adelaide were preparation and fitness based. He would not do the off season work and would come back underdone. In trying to get up to speed with the rest of the team, he would invariably get injured and get further behind the eight ball. From there, it always became catch up through the season.
 

Apparently that’s why his best footy, most consistent footy has been played at the back end of the year when he has somewhat caught up fitness wise. 
 

Hopefully the change of environment at the Dees will help with his professionalism. 

Thought you guys may like a bit of history about McAdam.... McAdam hails from Halls Creek, a remote town in north-east Western Australia in the East Kimberley region. A medium-sized forward, McAdam equaled Nic Naitanui’s running vertical jump record at the 2015 Draft Combine but was overlooked until he booted 31 goals in 17 games for Sturt in the 2017 SANFL season. Initially selected by Carlton as a mature-aged pre-draft access pick, McAdam was quickly traded to the Crows in 2018. An injury-interrupted start to 2019 meant McAdam made his Club debut in the SANFL in Round Five. His speed and athleticism were on display and he finished with 22 goals. Made his AFL debut in Round Four, 2020 and played 13 games, taking many Mark of the Year contenders throughout. The exciting goal sneak played 15 games in 2021 and 15 in 2022.

Bids should happen before trade period. Trading out of early picks and using multiple nothing picks is a joke.

All the JUH sooking cost us Mac Andrew. Most players who qualify as NGA are not true NGA.

That makes sense as then the Draft is "clean" cut when each Club knows when their next "Call" is coming. The NFL do not have an academy pick system like the AFL.

I'm a little worried about our lack of ruck depth.

Max is obviously amazing and hopefully Fullarton can be the 2nd ruck/forward. 

But after that it seems weve got verrall who is obviously very young and raw... and thats it.

Last season max was injured for 6 weeks and covered well by grundy but who rucks if that happens again? Fullarton with shache playing fwd/ruck?

 

Good question however I feel you have answered your own by mentioning Fullerton and Shacke. Just feel at times we maybe comparing the "stop gap" last year with Grundy and Gawn where that was a luxury experiment that did not work. Last year we never had this discussion you mention. My concern is for what happens in the after life of Gawn and Fullerton. WE really have in reflection had great rucks over the years. Gawn, White, Jolley, Stynes, Jamar and others.

In October, I was asking what trading in pick 11 left us with picks wise...

sorry.
