  1. Looks like we got 2 of the best 3, so pretty good I would have thought.
  2. Agree with Hannan going back to Casey to get some confidence, but it will be hard to overlook Lewis on his last 2 Casey games. Play him HFF on Hodge.
  3. Some on here would trade everybody.
  4. Took 3 Dockers, all bigger than him, to rip his guernsey off him. Love it.
  5. Love it. The stager bumps our captain and goes down like he was hit in the head with a sledgehammer.
  6. Rubbish.
  7. Good post. I have changed my view. Now it is win, win, win, draft picks can take care of themselves.
  8. You would leave ANB in after yesterday's game and his previous ones this year? I am prepared to say that Corey Wagner, Lewis, Spargo, Stretch, JKH and even Dunkley off 3 games at Casey, are ahead of him in my eyes, but maybe not Goody's. I would like to get as many games into Petty as possible, as he will be a player for us and now is the time to play him where he will learn from the likes of May.
  9. I think Petty could be the one as we have Lever and Oscar as other backs. Actually thought Smith played a fair game and could have kicked 6, which would have impacted his future at the club quite dramatically. The real problem is we need a Jeff Farmer or young Jeffy type. Hopefully Bedford becomes that, but I would be looking at that role and another key forward and maybe another ruckman at season's end.
  10. I got a laugh out of a security guard yesterday, when I asked if I could be evicted for what I am thinking about the umpires.
  11. Oh well they have kept their parkland and they can watch their dogs deposit presents on it for others to step in.
  12. I did say in my last point that fans should not get personal. While "spud" is not a nice description, it is a description of football ability and not the person himself. To be honest saying someone's footy ability is pathetic or hopeless is about the same, but again they are descriptions of performance not the person. These guys know that they will be criticized even at games and they need first to not read fan sites and second if they do, laugh at them and not take them seriously. That is what they are continually advised. It is good advice. All sports people and public figures know that criticism comes with their position. PS. Sorry to those wanting scores, no more on this topic from me on this thread. Go Casey Demons.
  13. Aren't the State Government looking at that over the rail lines, from Flinders Street to near the G?
  14. Thanks DD as one of his biggest supporters ( see my stunned posts when people called for his delisting ), I am thrilled that he is doing so well. He can still make a blue or two on disposal, but he is saving us repeatedly now and with his pace and unpredictability, he is a nightmare for the opposition.
  15. Agree and he is rock hard. Looking forward to seeing him play after a full pre season and with most of our better players available around him. We have also found a hbf in Hore, hopefully a winger in Baker and a key back or forward in Petty and definitely a top key back in May.
  16. First, this is a fan site and fans comment on their club and everything about it. Second, fans have varying opinions on players. Third, players are told not to read these sites for their own benefit. Fourth, these players are professionals,getting paid to play and they are well advised by their families, friends, coaches and managers that they will be subjected to criticism. Fifth, being former fans themselves, the players know these sites can contain praise and criticism. Sixth, players are big and smart enough to listen to their coaches and not fans on sites anyway. Seventh, if you are that worried about players being affected by ignoring the club's advice and then reading these sites and then believing what they read, maybe you could suggest on here that we only post nice comments all the time. That should make it a nice place to come for the players and enthralling reading for the Demonlanders. Last, while I try to not be too negative, in the case of a minority of players I can't help it. If a player IMO is just not up to AFL standard or plays a terrible game, I think we have the right to say that, without getting personal and just assessing their footy ability or performance.
  17. But there was no loss of parkland.
  18. You are welcome and hello to all those who wanted Frost out of the club. Agree on Petty too.
  19. JKH is a better footballer than ANB. While no star, he can mark, handball and kick, which ANB can't. I am stunned he is being given a 2 year deal. Lockhart and Corey Wagner are now ahead of him IMO.
  20. Bentleigh club says hi!
  21. That hasn’t worked either.
  22. Club have gone very quiet about this. Hope they are working on something.
  23. Continues the trend of us fielding well below our best side each week, while the opposition field close to their strongest side. Then to rub salt into the wound, the opposition lose their best players against us, making it easier for their next opponents to beat them. Add that to our pathetic skills and you have season 2019.
  24. I put the bad behaviour of fans at AFL matches down to a shortage of bananas at AFL venues. Banana smoothies instead of beer would improve crowd behaviour no end.
  25. That is interesting. The midget Spargo has taken 23 marks to ANB 9 in the same amount of games.
