  1. A few Demon mates and I have christened him "Dodger" (Dodgers Ferry reference)
  2. You would hope so, but I'm not sure how much of his work goes un-noticed by the umps. 7 Charlie votes in 2010 and 7th place in the Bluey. Has certainly played better this year.
  3. Work rate, footy smarts and a decent amount of talent make him a great long-term prospect. Adds some important ingredients to our current forward set-up, and this can only go in one direction as he gets games under his belt, and spends more time working alongside his team-mates. Great stuff ...... I had expected him to be a one-trick pony (I should have known better!).
  4. Totally different players, but I've always seen great similarities between the kicking styles of Jake Spencer and the great Brian Dixon (but with apologies to Jake, I don't ever remember Dicko missing the ball completely). Tappy reminds me of Greg Wells. Both nuggety and hard at it with good hands and very good disposal, although Wellsy didn't kick as far as Tappy. This comparison may become more obvious if Tappy gets to play in the midfield down the track. Bryan Kenneally and Cale Morton. Both 'baby faced', skinny and very versatile. I'd love to think Cale could be as valuable a player (long term) as 'Kid' Kenneally.
  5. Ditto what I said a week ago. Love the way he takes the game on. You could excuse him for not playing with his natural flair in his first couple of games, but it hasn't deterred him one iota.
  6. Disagree. I thought HiFi was pretty good today, and certainly did enough to hold his spot.
  7. Agree. From what I have seen on the field and in the media, Trenners has leader written all over him.
  8. LJ is turning the corner back to where we want him. A lot more off the ball stuff today, tackling and chasing which was great to see. The forward line is starting to come together!
  9. 6. Moloney 5. Watts 4. Jones 3. Frawley 2. Garland 1. Trengove
  10. Great article .... just in case some of us needed a bit of reassurance!
  11. King failed in his bid to have his one week ban overturned.
  12. Menzel got the nod this week, but I like Howie's chances before season's end (not that it's worth much anyway!)
  13. Another potential gem from the rookie list. Wouldn't surprise if he finds himself playing on Jake King at some stage next Saturday.
  14. No thanks. Can't even cut it with the Cat's mids and HBs delivering it forward.
  15. 6 - Watts 5 - Martin 4 - McKenzie 3 - Green 2 - Howe 1 - Frawley
  16. Excellent initiative! Edit: typo
  17. Just got back from Melbourne. Needless to say it was a very looooong drive back to Canberra. Too late to cast a valid vote, but I'll put in my selections anyway. 6. Sylvia 5. Morton 4. Watts 3. Howe 2. Strauss 1. Frawley
  18. Seems that the whisper was correct Whispering J. Named for Casey this week.
  19. Wonderful news indeed. IMO Norm ranks beside RDB as the greatest Demon of all.
  20. Well earned by Gys. Has an important part to play in the potentially best midfield combination in the AFL.
  21. Yep. It's hard to imagine that there will be a better performance from an eligible player this weekend.
  22. Jordie's focus and determination (and his tackles) are vice-like, and he is a Demon through and through. I can't imagine that he would ever disappoint us.
  23. So you share the blame with Suzanna. Unforgivable!!
  24. Strong debut .... I had been expecting more of a 'flashy' player, but the best part for me is that he worked really hard doing the 1%ers and the team things.
