  1. bugger...was hoping this was set to be announcement of him signing a long-term deal super handy player
  2. Everything could potentially change with the the 6-6-6 ‘number of the beast’ structure that clubs will forced to align with at centre bounces next season Will clubs increasingly go 3 talls / 3 smells in forward and backlines? Will be interesting to see... If we do: B: Jetta - O Mac - Lever HB: Salem - Frost - Hibberd ? Jones - Brayshaw - Viney HF: Petracca - Hogan - ANB F: Weideman - T Mac - Melksham Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Harmes I/c: Lewis - Tyson - vandenBerg - Fritsch Emerg: Spargo - Hannan - Hunt - J Smith If we stick with the relative ‘small ball’ line-up: B: Jetta - O Mac - Hibberd HB: Salem - Lever - Lewis ? Jones - Brayshaw - Viney HF: Petracca - Hogan - ANB F: vandenBerg - T Mac - Melksham Foll: Gawn - Oliver - Harmes I/c: Tyson - Hannan - Weideman - Fritsch Emerg: Spargo - Frost - Hunt - J Smith If the 6-6-6 comes in, particularly if it’s coupled with reduced rotations, I would expect it to be the ‘tall’ line-up that may be preferred
  3. Shiel plays a very selfish brand of football for mine...I’d happily have him but he needs a lot of adjustments to his role to benefit any club he goes to I think it’s all a moot point, however, as we don’t have the assets to trade, unless we want to give up significant best 22 players
  4. Such a shame it is likely he doesn’t get to play finals with us
  5. blessed relief - got 4x afl member for me, a mate, and my eldest two kids FINALS!!
  6. Not deviated septum-related?
  7. Everyone will be pushed further back with priority picks and academy selections Pick 32 could end up closer to pick 40...and the pick we traded for Lever - currently #14 - could be pushed back closer to #20
  8. toumpas' year as a premiership player in 2011 with woodville-west torrents in the sanfl as a 16 year old in his fifth game at senior level was sensationally exciting toumpas in 2011: he was lean, quick, and a really neat kick who was capable of being a 75 metre player - he'd run 25 with a couple of bounces and roost it 50 his year as a south australian skipper in 2012 was absolutely sensational; he was being talked about as a likely top two pick and compared to nathan buckley aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand then he had a double hip operation between the end of the championships and the draft period and he was never the same again - he lacked power in his legs both from a running and a kicking perspective he has never had any trouble getting a heap of the pill at both sanfl and vfl level...unfortunately, he's proved to be far from afl-level...compare above at 16 to his farewell from port video: his body shape has never developed and he now looks undersized when compared to his contemporaries unfortunately he would appear to be another in a long line of players who are good enough for a lower level but not the top echelon

    wasn't the choice btw him, salem, and lewis taylor with pick 9 way back when? his body has been pretty good for the last two years, at least from a soft issue perspective i wonder if we'll kick the tyres...
  10. me too gawn, oliver, t mac, lever and hogan
  11. the (not) funniest part about this fiasco is the crowd is only predicted to get to 80k - so why is it so hard to get a ticket to a 100k seat stadium?
  12. massive flow on effects of pushing the afl club member sales over to tomorrow, which is when afl member sales are meant to begin, then gen admin sales... what sort of servers are they using, i wonder? obviously not scalable aws ones!
  13. whatwhat say what replied to McQueen's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    tyson, salem and hunt or billings and [whatever we were going to take with pick 20]
  14. barcode lottery gifted to the rev - sorry @Brady
  15. whatwhat say what replied to McQueen's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    peptides is all the talk he'll be another midget for them
  16. i'm intending on buying afl membership tickets on wednesday, so someone can use my barcode if they wish - just drop me a pm if anyone has a spare afl member barcode i'll happily take that tho! taking two kids who weren't even born when the dees last made finals - so very exciting
  17. whatwhat say what replied to McQueen's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    he ain't wrong tho we're out of the running due to the sheer $$ being offered to him by north he either takes half the pay offered to him by them and stays at meth coke or he's a shinboner for the next six to seven years
  18. De Goey gets named in the 40-man All-Oz squad and Petracca, with basically identical (if not slightly better) numbers, is the next Col’n Sylvia? Hm....
  19. 6: Gawn 5: Harmes 4: Salem 3: Petracca 2: Brayshaw 1: Frost
  20. no, i welcome the opportunity and challenge to take them on for a third time this year we've blown it both times previous - third time's the charm! both games so far this year have been super entertaining as a neutral as well
  21. watched on tv for the most part, and gee the second half was poor thought johnstone was - as goodoil noted - neat by foot, but he gets caught ball-watching a lot wagner probably the best of the demons from my spot on the couch, closely followed by pedersen there ain't much left when the likes of jkh and bugg are sitting on the sidelines awaiting late call-up against gw$
  22. poos&wees
  23. I can see why we’re keen on Langdon - has speed and goes both inside and outside the contest
