Pretty much spot on, plus the development of the talls we picked up last year
-
We lost because 90 secs off football we stopped playing, we lost all defensive structure behind the ball. The game was won, so our players thought
-
You have to design a game plan that matches you players capabilities. The bottom line is our mids can't hit a target by foot, not just one but our entire midfield group are poor kicks.

The 2023 Draft and Trade Targets Thread
drdrake replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Did Bowey play as a mid through his u18 years, would like to see him on a wing kicking the ball into forward 50m. Early draft picks, with the pick we will get for Grundy we will have 4 picks inside the top 30 plus another mid 30, all about improving our draft position to get 4 picks as early as possible in the draft. -
Come on, Carlton had to kick 2 goals in 90 seconds to win, everything that has been drilled into our players over the past 4 or 5 years fell to pieces im that 90 secs.
-
Great you still have terrible kickers delivering the ball
-
Would love to go back over the past 10 years of post, it is the same story we tried hard but just don't have the foot skills.
-
Garbage, we had the game won, our poor field kicking lost it, you cant kick you can't win big games
-
No we weren't we choked it, can't kick and full of talk
-
Pretenders can't kick, back to we talk the talk but can't walk the walk, we cooked no question about it, can't kick
-
It was touched, we choked
-
Fcken choke
-
Same same our ball use is just terrible
-
Does that mean the header from soccer goes, the rebound from basketball, any action in any sport that has the potential to cause a head knock banned or as a participant you accept by playing that sport there is a chance of injury
-
So let's arm the bulldogs or Melbourne with a pick 4 to help them bring in top 10 talent, especially bulldogs who have a father son that is also expected to be first round
-
We have a ruck that gets better with more game time. The 10 percent of time Gawn doesn't ruck, tmac smith or even Tomlinson can go in. What do you do bring in some one that is ineffective up forward to ruck for 15mins a game
-
No idea why people are concerned with selection, we don't have a lot of options and the 3 we brought in are more the capable of doing their role.
-
The GC could also be ruthless and not trade, why should they give a pick to another club to enable them to strengthen their list. Be happy to lose it for one of their 3 first round players they will get from their academy
-
Matt Kennedy is there to play a defensive role, not sure if that is on Oliver or Jake Lever. I expect a mid role on Oliver and to protect cripps. Just need a good start, the blues have been up for a long time, give them a sniff and we will be in trouble, jump them early hit the scoreboard and they will deflate very easy.

I'm involved at Junior level, the number 1 cause of concussion that I've seen are from a sling tackle. Grounds are harder these days, as soon as the head hits the ground you are in trouble. The crack down on this action has certainly decreased the concussions. The bump players know you bump high you are in trouble. The next is the so called footy acts, when you look at these very few and far between. I think the moment you go past the ball and hit high in any contact form you will be in trouble.

He isn't coming back from an ACL tear at his age. My understanding is that if you are injured and delisted you still get some sort of remuneration from AFL until you are fully recovered, plus you still will have access to the best rehab. As good as he was for a handful of games, he should be delisted, maybe rookie him at best

The Way To Go Trade Draft & Free Agency Board
drdrake replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Spot on, no point drafting key forwards if we can't hit them up. -
Port are linked to 2 defenders at the moment, looking at there current draft picks cupboard is pretty bare, which means future picks. If they get it wrong with Tassie coming in the cliff will be extra high to climb back up
-
You can add Brown onto the Wing at Casey, we will get him late in the draft or rookie
-
No player wants to finish off playing VFL, Woey Jnr is ahead of Harmes now, so he is looking. The dees though would want him just in case so won't give him away for nothing, he is more valuable on our list than a third round pick.
