  1. Our centre clearance game has been down the last few months. Need to sharpen it up in not let it out so easy
  2. Darcy has his however is playing against the demons scarf on again

    Just not that good

    Nothing to great from what I've seen from the pies tonight. They have a few out but gee they have a fair few what I'd call average players

    Dodoro will somehow be safe. Blokes been there since 98 , list manager 13 years. It's just outrageous he's still there
  6. 100% I'm a nuff. Hulett was the toughest,I didn't recognise it was him but knew it wasn't the others listed. Similar with Jace bode. Woey on there was a bit of an insult 😅
  7. I think it will be, fritta in for Laurie who will be sub

    100% this. When either of them are forward, they end up too deep and we often just end up bombing to them and end up with at least two dees flying for the same ball (+ kozzie alot of the time) without success. Jackson was able to push up and be a linking forward. I thought Grundy would have been capable of this but hasn't so far
  9. Agree 12 months is a long time in football. It feels like mid 22 was ages ago. unless you have a Delorean with a flux capacitor and some plutonium don't know how it's possible to wait until mid 23.
  10. I judge 3 years in the top 4 and a flag. I'm 45 easily our best coach in my lifetime

    Selectors are the public voters online , the team is just for clicks

    Hearing a few sources say we are still pretty heavily into Georgiadis.
  13. Hibbo officially concussed is disappointing. I thought he deserved to be in the team ahead of scache and Tomlinson. I'd also have him ahead of bowey and Salem based on form this year
  14. Fritta confirmed https://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/1413368/injury-report-fritsch-closes-in-on-return Kudos to Selwyn and team this year done a cracking job, getting players on the park and managing work loads. Learned some lessons last year and adjusted accordingly
  15. I've given up watching any of the football shows this year. Haven't missed them one bit. Front bar the exception
  16. Mcartin just got let off at the tribunal because you know Sydney

    Will be tougher for the tigers given they gave up 3 first rounders and a second for Taranto and Hopper. Giving away valuable future picks and then doing a runner Mid season would annoy me as a tiger fan. Taranto has been good but where do the tigers finish on the ladder this year without him? Maybe one or two rungs lower. But with great hands in a really good draft
  18. Does his melkshakes bring all the boys to the yard

    I grew up in the 80s and was the only kid in a demon's jumper at what was the Auskick (used to be called footy clinic). My son is in Auskick and demons easily top 4 in terms of kids wearing our jumpers
  20. Today was one of the worst umpired games (boundary included( I've been to. 4 field umps is making things worse. Another brilliant Chris Scott idea I believe.
  21. Bowey and Salem been down for a while. Love to see Hibbo back in. Judd Mcvee is now our premier small back/best ball user
  22. Has alot of mates today
  23. Salem worse
  24. Not with this forward line
