WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BRAYDON PREUSS
JTR replied to What's topic in Melbourne Demons
Agreed. But where teams do play two rucks, such as the Filth, having that option there would be good. Dual ruck teams and Gorilla forward teams are our two major weaknesses, imo. Preuss gives us the option to address at least one of those. -
WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - STEVEN MAY
JTR replied to DemonLad5's topic in Melbourne Demons
I recall many here saying exactly the same thing re TMac. Then he got a few more seasons development under his belt and look what he has become. Omac is still only 22 and will barely be 23 at the first bounce of ball next season. Just need a time, imo. -
Let's not start ragging on Hogan and getting into the "he was no good anyway" stuff like always seems to happen when a player looks like they are leaving us.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BRAYDON PREUSS
JTR replied to What's topic in Melbourne Demons
After seeing Vardy & Lycett running around today, I am more convinced than ever that Gawn/Preuss would work and work well. Grundy/Cox killed us on QB -
Hopefully they don't employ the services of the Richmond doctor either...

So are 7 going to [censored] up the flow and 'atmosphere' of the game again with an ad break every goal, or will we have a little common sense this time around?
-
Much as I hate WC and their ignorant BOOOOOO supporters, I want to see the Filth lose another one.

1.00 mark. Doesn't look slow to me -
Second highest votes overall with 93, behind the filth who got 96. Only club with two players in the 20's

Well done Gus & Max!

Got it, thanks ?

All I've seen since the big Norf offer came to light is that it was them or nothing. I am not completely across the FA process, but Gaff can go wherever he likes right? Is he obligated in any way to go where WC want him to go? e.g. a club that offers a sweetener vs a club that doesn't? Is he obligated to go to whoever makes the biggest offer or can he decide to take a smaller contract and play for who he actually wants to?

Happened vs Grundy/Cox on QB too... Max can't do it all, and if he does go down I sure as hell don't want our best forward in TMac getting dragged away to provide average cover. This will extend Maxs career. We may even be able to give him a game or two off per season when the opposition warrants. Get Preuss! -

Preuss coming in (if that eventuates) would change that -
Best team all season 24 hours ago?

Perspective is that we overachieved and got far further than most would have expected this season. Perspective is that we clearly weren't ready to go as far as we did, and once we were there the inexperience and pressure of the occasion in the most hostile ground in the country got to us. Perspective is that we will be better for it.

I hate this line. There wouldn't be one person here - you included - that wouldn't have been "safisfied" at the start of the year if they were told that after 12 years out we not only make finals but win two of them, and did so without Viney, Lever & Hogan for most of the season. Today certainly was a couple of big steps back, but we have taken massive strides forward and it's disappointing that some here are so quick to dismiss thst and go back to the usual negativity and tearing apart of players. Hopefully once the frustration of today has dissipated people here can start getting a bit of perspective. It didnt end well, but we have had a good season.
-
Me too. Richmond have not faced anything like us this season (or last season), playing the way we are playing now. We've seen all the other teams trying various tactics to beat them, whereas we would be right up in their face, attacking their strength and playing them at their own game. Fire vs Fire stuff. I'd be fascinating to see who comes out on top. I also salivate at the prospect of Viney/Harmes vs Martin. First however, West Coast...

"I won’t confirm any of it (North Melbourne’s reported offer), but I will say that money’s got no factor," Connors said at the NAB AFL Trade Radio launch. https://wwos.nine.com.au/afl/afl-andrew-gaff-free-agent-decision-not-motivated-by-money-says-manager/955348a5-88ab-467b-83ef-8b4f3019f350 Planting the "expect to miss out" seed for Norf. LOL Norf!
