Seven year deal for Grundy
Keating would have been hampered worse than Jeff White when they made the rule change to stop ruckman taking run ups. His best asset was charging into the ballup thumping the ball forward and smashing into whoever was up against him. It helped he had Voss, Aka, Simon Black and Nigel Lappin running after his thumping hit outs.

Aus Bush Fires
Dieter the peak fire season in NSW is Spring. Itās Winter in parts of the top end. http://www.bom.gov.au/weather-services/fire-weather-centre/bushfire-weather/index.shtml The timing of fires is just another tool of the alarmists to blame climate change without fact.

Aus Bush Fires
The Greens hold responsibility for killing the Logging industry which is btw the ultimate sustainable industry. We no longer have the appropriate machinery or expertise for fire mitigation in areas that require high risk areas to be cleared. We also canāt clear paths like we used to do, to get emergency services into the zones where they can be most effective.

āUnprecedentedā arson!

Aus Bush Fires
I donāt want to politicise this but you acknowledge similar fires before and then later say it is unprecedented. Then you say itās unprecedented at this time of the year. Weāre in the middle of summer.

Which areas in Australia have not been affected by bush fires in millions of years? The Great Barrier Reef maybe.

Preseason Training 2020
I joined a fitness gym recently where you need to do boxing and I find it difficult to get simple combination punches in the right order when I am exhausted. There is no doubt fatigue played a factor in our disposal. Fitness crucified us last year. Not just injury.

Memorable Kickers
And a special mention to Allen Jackovich for the scissor kick and his 11 goals 8 and a few out in the full.
-
Memorable Kickers
Longest kicks: Bennett, Weatley, Frost and Hunt. Bennett and Weatley did it consistently but the other two did torpedos that defied gravity. Greatest kicks: TJ, Alan Johnson, Whelan, Davey & Watts. When Whelan took the kick out he never missed, short or long. Experimental kicks; Stynes, Duke of Earl, Alastair Nicholson and Max Gawn when he is 10 metres out.

Players that need the most development
Spargo is too small, not fast enough and canāt kick very far but he sees the game better than most. He has damaging decision making and football smarts.
-
Players that need the most development
Iām not sure either of the Wagner brothers will get a game. I hope they go James Harmes like but unlikely.

Who is the least likely to play this year?

Goddard Tips Dees to Recover

Dunkley and Rivers
I canāt see how either will play this year. Outside of Bradtke everyone on the list is pushing for a spot. Dunkley and Rivers would be last and second last. i mean that in a good way.

Top 10 MFC Players of the Decade
Brayshaw came 3rd in the Brownlow. Iād have AVB ahead of Hogan. He stood up in the most important games of the decade.

Core players / top 4 in the best 22? (merged thread)
Iām hoping 1 Melbourne player can play an A+ game in my lifetime on grand final day. Malion Pickett didnāt get selected to debut on grand final day for no reason. He is an absolute jet.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Demonlanders
I want 3 cups to complain about. Merry Christmas.

Core players / top 4 in the best 22? (merged thread)
I agree with everything you say except Marlion Pickett. He is A+ grade and one of the best footballers in the league. Heās only played one game but he almost won the norm smith. He didnāt slot in and play his role he dominated.

Top 50 Wins of the Decade
Always love Demonblogs work. I personally would have had win 17 against the Hawks rated higher. It cemented the fact we were a real team again. Jordan Lewis would shortly nominate a trade to us, which at the time was so significant the president wrote an email to the entire football club and football department that a triple premiership player had just nominated to come to Melbourne.

Core players / top 4 in the best 22? (merged thread)
An accumulator of the footy with elite disposal, peripheral vision and decision making isnāt going to be delisted at the end of the season no matter what happens this season. The fact his professionalism is off the charts for his age and he has a pretty good tank leave me confident of where he is headed.
