    As such i agree... but thats not where we are. I can think of many players at many clubs I'd pick as a 'made up' before Oliver. I still don't attach either much voracity or credibility to it ( the murmurings ) ... but it's an odd choice...no ? He's had some issues this year.. not all happy snaps and perhaps thats where it stems?? Doing the Devils work again... whats more important "A" bloody good mid ( we have a few )... or a bloody good kpf ??? Of which we have none. Again...listening costs nil.

    Im going to again offer a counter view. If as you suggest Oliver is untouchable.. no one would have enquired. Somewhere... someone... has let a door crack open. No one asks about Max, Trac or Jack... but strangely there's a story surrounding Clarry. Think about that.

    Sometimes i offer a different view. Not yours perhaps.. i dont give a f. Try offering a counter argument. Can you ? All too simple to denigrate eh . Heads up ...you're not in charge. It's a forum. You do get that's about...conversations...ideas.

    Am going to proffer a different view. Whilst essentially Clarry you would think is a no go area... is he ? Is anyone ?? The club should ( due diligence) listen. It may then choose to laugh, guffaw...or ponder. Im not for one moment putting him up for trade. But listening doesn't cost. Oliver is rare, dare i say unique. But we did cope. Nothing is carved in stone. Maybe Oliver might take note.

    No , not really,. Just the wet dreaming of dysfuntional media hacks
  6. Both might involve uprooting family. I can see his thinking.

    Again..... can we avoid foot issues, especially if well known and documented. They seldom get 'better' .. and when do.. somehow the afflicted never seems quite the same.. Computer says NO
  8. beelzebub replied to Whispering_Jack's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    By what metric....other than his talking rear end ??
  9. beelzebub replied to Random Task's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    And we go SOOOOOO well with foot injuries. The single cause of most angst regards lost opportunities of the last decade imo. A no from me
  10. beelzebub replied to Random Task's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    I wouldn't blame him at all if so

    Mr Chook.. im a bit if a Tmac convert. Thought he should have been considered more often for games ( and perhaps was ) Alas.. he's cooked. His greatest asset imho was his tank and ability to get to contests in a timely / effective manner ....but he's lost a yard. He's sorta a nearly there version of his prior self. Ok for magoos...gets found out at the top level. A marvellous servant of our club... but the bell looms i reckon.

    No.... he doesn't ... that idea never made it to print in the "Great Book of Learnings" ....

    Im a bit 45/55 ... or is that 55/45.. Tbh im a bit 6s and 7s Must've been something i 8
  14. Interesting would you not agree.. our accuracy waned as the season progressed...and fell off a cliff in finals .. I find that...well.. worrying
  15. beelzebub replied to old55's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Yes.. another intimated. Not fussed about pick 1 Reid not the solution 😉
  16. beelzebub replied to old55's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Ah..i see. Cheers Personally not a fan of throwing everything into #1. Would rather a handful of promising talent.. Greater chance imho of finding a couple of handy players. Reid will be good...so will others.
  17. beelzebub replied to old55's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    How does a Free agent affect pick 1 ??
  18. You speak essentially of a 3 goal difference. We kick 3 goals more in many games and we win them. It sounds oh so easy really but it's not otherwise we would have corrected it. You also speak of the other Elephant... our pathways into scoring ( or more aptly...not !! ) I fail to understand the WHY of why we dont adopt as preferential the very strategies we employed pre and early season. ( also a cpl of latter h/a games ) . The other side to same coin is wht we perpetuate the same mistakes. Isnt anyone taking notice we all ask. They must be...and must also be instructing how we play. I dont think the getting of player X or player Y is the acrual panacea of our ill fortune. I dont think the players are our primary problem.
  19. But thats the very essence.. it ISNT a conflict of interest to the AFL.. it's their very objective.

    Not just the players...but methodology
