POSTGAME: Rd 18 vs West Coast Eagles
Happy to say it was a pleasingly unremarkable 8 kick, 8 handball, 2 tackle-game from ANB - probably our 15th best on the day

The old straight arm block - The Gawn rule.
One of the two free kicks for this was. Jeff Dalgliesh was the umpire on both occasions.

Sons of Stynes
You are referring to Sam Stynes. He was a top ager last year so overlooked by clubs. Played for Xavier College with the odd game for the Sandringham Dragons.

Casey Demons v Box Hill Hawks - Round 13
Yeah hes a quality VFL player but has been overlooked repeatedly since his under 18 year when he was in the draft mix. Probably a case of him not being athletic quick enough to play as a running/outside player at AFL level and not big enough to play other spots. I really thought Hawthorn would take him in mid-season draft, may have been his last chance

Casey Demons v Box Hill Hawks - Round 13
Hes a good VFL player but he plays nothing like VandenBerg. Much more of outside player with a nice kick on him and has been playing a lot of half back for the Hawks in a Birchall-like role. Cant see us having any interest. He's 27, been in about 9 drafts and Hawthorn could have taken him in the midseason draft and passed.

Demonland Player of the Year - Round 14
Not a criticism but today is probably an example where maybe the voting system should be reconsidered. Nearly a dozen players deserving votes today, whereas in a couple of matches there have been one or two worthy. In any case: 6. Jack Viney 5. Clayton Oliver 4. Tom McDonald 3. Max Gawn 2. Jay Lockhart 1. Sam Frost Petracca, Salem, Brayshaw and May were all good contributors.

Coburg v Casey Demons - Round 12
Him at Sam Frost attended a coterie function today, so he is still around the club.

1978 - The Dennis Jones era
I was not around for this part of our history but my father who has watched the dees every week since the 60s has always said he was our worst coach ever and used to play teams with far too many talls (top heavy)

AFL fixing the problem.
To my eye every week we are about minus 6 in correct holding the ball decisons. We dont get three we deserve and we concede three we dont each week. As a close in contested side as a rule, this is killing us.

Williamstown v Casey Demons - Round 8
Only from one source but Brendan Rhodes suggesting its an ankle injury for Lever. Maynard concussion.

My 3 word player analysis V Hawthorn
As one of Alex Neal-Bullen's major detractors, it seems unfair not to acknowlege that he played a good, pretty much error-free game and was a valuable contributer. Not in the best half dozen players but not far away.

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - MARTY HORE
He had been useless playing effectively as a tall defender. Last night he was pretty good playing basically as a small, rebounding defender.

What to do with Nathan Jones
Last year Gawn's hit out to advantage rate was 35-36%, this year it is currently at 32.5%. He is winning only 50% of ruck contests though this year which I'm certain is well down on last year, so he is slightly less effective at winning hit outs this year and doing slightly less with them.

What to do with Nathan Jones
It doesn't automatically follow that points from stoppages is indicative of laziness on behalf of our midfield core. We are still the number one clearance team in the competition but have dropped from 2nd to 17th in contested marking and from 1st to 11th in inside 50 marks. Scores from stoppages against could just as much an indicator of opposition efficient ball use as it is a black mark against the work ethic of the midfielders. Of course that could be an ingredient.

Our Recruiting.
Yes but you are not correctly valuing either of the two trades and your way of viewing them is hyperbolic. The Lever trade is nowhere near a trade of Lever for a top 10 and a top 5 pick. The pure picks traded was Lever, picks 35 and 47 for picks 12 and 19. What actually happened is most easily represented in two parts. 2017 draft we got Lever and Petty for Darcy Fogarty (FWIW I think we would have drafted Zac Bailey or Matthew Ling) and 2018 we forego the rights to pick 19(most likely would have taken Liam Stocker who was taken with that pick) in exchange for the ownership of pick 47 which we on traded to St Kilda to move up the draft. If we had done the trade of pick 19 with Carlton wed be needing to swap picks with them at this year's draft.

Box Hill Hawks v Casey Demons - VFL Round 1
It also allows him to play significant game time in the ruck at that level. Would suggest he will play mainly for the Stingrays whilst Preuss is at Casey and back up Wale - Buxton if and when Preuss plays in the seniors.
