  1. Interesting...line at 45 Would the game be that lopsided..and high in score ? Doubt it
  2. I must confess I have an odd situation. A preorganised present of a weekend away at a winery...fine dining tonight and tour of said winery with associated imbibings will have me otherwise entertained and my time accounted for. I might sneak an occasional look of the scores....or might not. I hope the team has more enthusiasm than I do for this game. Watching Richmond tear up our beloved G , watching them despatch yet another opponent like throwing out the rubbish only torments this Demon supporter. The game really isn't that complicated. It's not really that hard to play. We just make it appear so. We just need to strip away all the facade of 'cleverness'. We need to demystify the art of kicking and passing. We just need to play footy...play it as it's possible in simple style. No convoluted passages of play that invariably overcook necessity. If only those running around in Yellow and Black we're indeed our Red and Blue I'd be more keen to find a way to watch tonight. I'm not bothering. Yet again a season hangs on a precipice of our own hewing. I really hope we win. I'm more interested in the wine Go Dees
  3. It's deja vu .... all over again. Welcome to Groundhog Day with the MFC ?

    Bvgger why couldn't they have just left him alone ?

    Not enough
  6. I must confess....?? Can you expand on this... sounds interesting. Cheers

    Yeah...those that limp...Dems don't run so quick . Get overtaken often
  8. Teams not selected by Goodwin alone
  9. My understanding is you cant buy above the Railway...only lease it..( 99 ) Railway easements/right of way is owned/controlled by Victrack ( which is essentially the gov ) .Another quirk is these easements often effectively operate outside of normal planning restrictions etc
  10. Regards Jeffy. A surprising selection to say the least. It's often put that players are sent back to work on areas and refine their role. Maybe Jeff has. It might just not appear it to us. Maybe it's last chance saloon ? Maybe the FD is simply desperate for someone to do something ....other than play Superman in the fwd line ? Maybe it's all of the above ?
  11. There's a lot about football this year that makes absolutely no sense !!

    Why did it take 3/4 to change our game ?
  13. beelzebub replied to McQueen's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Sounds like a plan...plssed on the piste !!
  14. its a perfect MFc scenario style game Season...it's on the line really (some may agree...some might not ) Which MELBOURNE will come out to play ? This is psuedo 2017 rnd 23 in that...we either are winners...or .... Go Dees
  15. that they played poorly...it will simply be disappointing that THOSE selections did Im hoping they ALL play better...and the inclusions play their part
  16. lol...ahh got to love the angst many have for alonf while given serious stick to the selections..You deny that fine. ( as per example..tonight almost EVERYONE is FOR the selections..this is rare ) . its more than just last week Bing...just saying All players have ups and downs..but its their core ability you have to go with sometimes. I think this is just such a time. Height ( too much ) is unnecessary up there...in the heat and humidity...he who stands up longest will win. Both Spargo and jeffy have something practically no one else in the team has...X factor...can make something out of nothing..I dare say Trac has some...on his day.. Maybe theyll all lhave a GOOD WIN this game Weve struggled to keep the ball in our 50...and struggled to make use of the ground ball... Jeffy and Spargo should fix this My other post suggests Spargo might play a high HFF role..so in a fashion doing a little of what Tyson does around the wing. VFL is another world...different metrics ought to be used.. imho
  17. certainly a lot closer to the money than have been for yonks
  18. Might they play Jeffy deep...and Spargo high ? Height not so important in conditions..speed and endurance is. I don't mind this team...as such
  19. Doubt it... he'll be doing Petty's job ...or rather..playing down back ?
  20. beelzebub replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    you know he was talking diving lingo ?
  21. Will be pleasantly surprised if Jeffy gets a run. So many logical reasons to do this...but hey... it's footy Be VERY intrigued if they DO play both Spargo AND Jeffy..have been want ting to see this just about all year..Just have a gut feeling theyd work well of of each other and wouldnt trip over each other either. Frost seems a beyond "about time"inclusion I await official team sheet with more interest than I thought Id have this week...tttt
  22. beelzebub replied to McQueen's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    no we werent particularly a good team back then....but id be very surprised if anyone other than Nostradamus picked that result. Not having Sandilands means theyll probably lose the ruck....so have nearly every team playing Max Gawn...makes no difference...other teams better at clearances than us still. Not having Fyffe should hurt. Our history at that ground isn't too flash..... Freo ought to be a little better aclimatised atm to warmer things. If Richo can figure us out you can BET your house Ross Lyon will know what Goody is thinking..before Goody is thinking it !! This might if we're lucky be a close game

    He wasnt out of a job because he refused to do the media dance...thats Premier League..a whole different beast to AFL. Still..some folk know how to handle the media..
