Coming Soon to the Demonland Podcast: Paul Roos
Bates Mate replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Ted Fidge Mark Withers ? -
Agree on Garlett, our structure early wasnt working and we ended up bombing to jeffy out numbered quite a bit in early rounds I would like to see him now we are getting better inside 50 entries. Either way happy to leave spargo in as he has done everything right and current forward dynamic is working
-
I get annoyed at playing teams with extra days break. We play in NT on Sunday, then we play Doggies who will have played on Friday
-
No way Charlie should go for that.Ed maybe but i think both are ok2
-
I wonder which of his two desks he wrote his resignation letter on
-
Harmes has been good but all three you mention don't know there limitations and get caught out every game. Harmes trying to break tackles and getting pinged. Tyson kicking Anb goal kicking
-
Tyson drops sitter rubbish kick and now they have momentum.this season will come down to percentage and we screw it up
-
Lewis is showing his Hawthorn class
-
Commentators said weare leading league in inside 50s mainly due to our rubbish entries. our opposition would have best goal to entry ratio every week I'm over it

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - CHARLIE SPARGO
Bates Mate replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Happy to not have Jeffy at this stage. Spargo has shown in one game that he is polar opposite to Jeffy in terms of hardness and willingness to chase/ tackle. Jeffy does it one game then 3 games he goes missing , been an issue his whole career . You know what you will get with Spargo even though he has played 1 game. -
6 players minimum on either side of the line who cant cross that line, sounds like netball rules lets put bibs on them and call it a day

50% off Melbourne Gear at New Balance
Bates Mate replied to MikeAlphaTango's topic in Melbourne Demons
I can live with the sponsors logos on the front , and know why they are there but I hate the massive logos on the back of the hoodies jackets etc , stopping me from making a purchase . Excuse me now, I've got a cloud to yell at -
Post Match Discussion: JLT #2 vs St. Kilda
Bates Mate replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Harmes not playing yesterday and missing from family day Anything happening there??? -
what was that game against freo when Brock Mclean Dominated and Peter Vardy was kicking them from everywhere in pouring rain over in the west. I remember we were big underdogs that day and could not believe what I was seeing.
-
he was granted leave by freo twice this year to spend time in Victoria during season which meant he miseed games. Not sure on the issues wether family related our with Balic himself but there are issues.
-
I think it's a bad reflection on the club and Goody that this is playing out in the media. they maybe trying to send a rocket up JW and I am sure it's not the first time but he is a melbourne player and we should not hang our own out to dry by the coach in public.

he played a good game against us at the G about 4 years ago We where shizenhouse about 4 years ago
-
31 going on 32 next year with a year out of injuries. It's a pass at his peak he is exactly what we need but would not give up anything to get him

100% what a beat up nothing story
-
Let's see the draw first
-
Troy Chaplin should be in the firing line as well , not sure if our inability to convert inside 50's down to coaching , strategy/positioning , horrible skills probably a combination of all but I would rather a experienced forward line coach teaching our young forwards (hogan and Weids in particular) than a guy who spent his career as a backman

Jones: We'll address those inconsistences and get it right . It can be frustrating and dissapointing but we'll get there. This kind of comment irks me big time. It has been a common theme all year we are heading in the right direction , we will get threre , we are a developing team. We are on the right track , we have elite training habits, the group/club is confident in the direct etc. It feels from my perspective that the club thinks that it will just happen. We have always been a club that gets to a certain level then expects it to naturally happen.

100% sick of the talk we want action . Yes improvement was there but lack of fight and hunger against lower opposition must be addressed
