  1. Geelong players are worse than us when it's hot, have been for the last 10 years
  2. Nailed it. Sydney have an abundance of tough, skillful, intelligent players. We have an abundance of tough players
  3. I thought the Brisbane have was a turning point as we finally looked to take the game on and work the angles and look at the result. Get back to the MCG we loose our dare. Was the most disappointing thing
  4. Gawn starting forward, Jackson in the middle brown on the bench to start reeks of trying to be too clever. Go with the A team midfield from the opening bounce. Spargo should never be on a wing. Kozzie should at least be tackling it chasing down if he can't find the footy. Plenty more I could rant about but I'm done for now . I need to go to bed
  5. Agree 100% the whole side from the punt road goals to the end of the members was rocking early in the third particularly after the Fritsch and sparrow goals.
  6. Boring zero risk for zero reward footy for most of the night. If Brisbane are our biatches we are well and truly Sydney's

    + Langdon that's it
  8. Feels like I've gone back in time to round 12
  9. Need more out of trac, Angus, gawn. Got out played in the clinchers. Anb, melk are having mares. Anb so off the pace it's not funny
  10. Good enough for Geelong
  11. Doubt his body could stand up to it given it can't usually stand up playing on a back flank
  12. Maybe if the selectors let people know their criteria. In my my if you are a club captain and good enough to make the starting 18 then You should be 1st choice . If their a more than one choose the captain they feel had the better year (Cripps this year) If it's just a lifetime achievement award just let people know to avoid all the ambiguity I think part of it is to generate discussion
  13. Equally as bad as when they gave it to Rance. AA captain is often a selectors favourite/lifetime achievement award
  14. Angus is the ultimate utility played back, wing on ball had a better year than rozee. Oh well all subjective I guess. Haha AA boundary umps how do they judge that!!???
  15. Didn't see enough Freo to disagree, but the AFL players MVP is for mine the least of the awards. Majority of players don't watch more than one game a week other than their own. Many none at all
  16. Can't stand him. Wait until he retires he will be force fed as a special comments man on every available platform.
  17. C'mon Pendles is an absolute champion.
  18. What a champion Clarry is, best demon I've seen. Caught the end of Robbie i was 9 in 87. loved Jim, garry, neitz and '94 Schwartz was next best. But this bloke is no1 for me .
  19. Great achievement. Seems a long time ago that he missed a whole season with a knee.i Must admit I was worried he'd make after that. Glad he proved me wrong

    Can't stand him but he is a good player worthy of inclusion
  21. Bates Mate replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    He has been our most consistent key back this year for mine.

    Just did a mock booking . Plenty of Melbourne members seats available. I could book 8 together in M50 on an aisle.
  23. Bates Mate replied to Ollie fan's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    M52 ( Swans section) M50 is great seats my usual reserved seat right next to the demons bench
