    Razor misses a blatant dropping the ball and Tigers goal on the siren.
  2. Thank heavens for that!

    Mahjong championships at Romsey, with BBO hosting in the Bruce McAvaney role.
  4. And after a night at Moonee Valley Races as well.

    Yep, far easier to cop a Giants win, than the feral hordes.

    More than a decent ask, that would be a mammoth task.

    What about what “ I” have to say about us?
  8. Redleg replied to John Demonic's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Yes but we had a ruined pre season, the worst injury list in the competition, a hard draw and despite all that were in the game at 3/4 time in numerous games, as well as simply throwing away several games with poor kicking or goal. A better injury run, with a softer draw and some new players, coming off a wasted year, which would bite at everyone, gives me optimism for a quick rebound.

    And like so many Coaches before him, for example Dimma, Buckley, Thompson and even Clarkson, to name a few, who tasted some success, after calls for their dumping, Cameron has outlasted the doubters and got his side into the GF. Now the "experts" are calling for extending his contract. It's a fickle game.

    Wayne Carey has predicted us to make the biggest rise next year and jump back into the 8. With a softer draw and far fewer operations, a better club pre season, a few new players and some young developing players as well and importantly a good injury run and maybe a slightly altered game plan, I am also confident of us bouncing back to play finals next year.

    Ok.

    Massive gamble on Pickett, who hasn't played with most of the team before. Could be a master stroke or a bust, we will know soon enough. Whatever, they clearly rate him and got him in the mid season draft. Hopefully Dunkley can improve in the next couple of years, as his brother did after a few pre seasons.

    No, not cut wages, but replace NQR footballers with traded in or drafted players, who are better, or will be better. What was the rush to give ANB a new contract and of 2 years? Were we scared the other clubs would want him?
  14. Redleg replied to Demon Forever's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    If we needed cap space to get Elliott, why would we resign ANB and J. Wagner, who are not best 30 at MFC?
  15. Redleg replied to dazzledavey36's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Yep.
  16. Rumours that Pickett will play his first game in the GF, (great mid season draft choice by the Tigers if true), so Kamdyn McIntosh may be p-ssed on missing out. If Elliott is not coming, which some are now saying, he would be a handy player for us. I posted his credentials earlier and he could be a moderate price good get for us. He is certainly better than most of our recent re signings.
  17. We don't need great, good would be enough.

    I still bow to your superior news breaking abilities. You are unmatched in the AFL footy world.
  19. Redleg replied to dazzledavey36's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Doggies improving by adding a CHB and a FF.
  20. Redleg replied to John Demonic's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    In the words of ET the newsbreaker, you heard it here first.
  21. Redleg replied to Demonsone's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Correct. Most would agree Geelong is a well run club. Well clearly they aren't, because Matt Egan's career was cut short by injury. Essendon has just stuffed Daniher. Sydney has stuffed Buddy. Freo has stuffed Jesse. The Pies stuffed Daniel Wells, Dunn and Goldsack. Unless you can show that a club actually injured a player or made his injury worse and then career threatening, it is a bit rich to blame the club. So I agree with you Ernie.

    We were given a PP or 2. That is nothing like what GWS got. They got given the tools for a Flag. It may eventuate on saturday.
  23. Redleg replied to Demonsone's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    But look at the list they were gifted. They were created to be successful quickly, not like the rest of us who developed slowly. They were given so many top players, that as they traded the surplus, they got more high picks to pick the best again in the next seasons. They were always going to succeed.
  24. Redleg replied to John Demonic's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    I still think he will stay at the Pies. They will retire or delist someone else, to make more room.
