Just strap him on the end of Saty’s scooter over pre-season and he’ll come back in ripping condition

WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - STEVEN MAY
Demon Disciple replied to DemonLad5's topic in Melbourne Demons
As much as I’d like to see Salem on a HBF, with the likes of May, Lever, Hore and Hibberd all being better than average kicks, we really need his class and disposal being used to deliver it into the forward line. -
i'm pretty sure there would be 17 clubs lining up to get him, not just GCS.

The 2019 Draft and Trade Targets Thread
Demon Disciple replied to Nascent's topic in Melbourne Demons
I say we go to the draft with our first round pick this year. Spread the age profile a bit more, hopefully bring in some quality with the high pick (and hope like hell we don't have one as high for a long time afterwards). -
Good to see we’ve learned from the 1.8 against the Cows in the last, with an accurate 3.7 this quarter ?
-
Don’t worry Gorg, we’ll train it out of him over the summer
-
I reckon trying to bring him in to MFC would be a great idea , SK. Though i’d rather bring him out of retirement.

Key forwards - let's go shopping!
Demon Disciple replied to Matsuo Basho's topic in Melbourne Demons
Of his 26 disposals on the weekend , only 9 were effective. Wouldn't want to cough up much for him. -
OMAC out. Done! But seriously, i know he i young and inexperienced, but Weideman in the space of less than a year has gone from a promising young KPP to worrying to disaster. He is next to useless atm in the forward line. Sure some of that has to do with midfield problems, but the majority of it has to do with him being a pretty clueless footballer. I know he's recently re-signed, but would it be beyond the realms of possibility that he may be put up as trade bait? Or would he be better served with bringing in a #1 forward (Brown) and for TMAC to take #2 & Weid #3 defender?

On tonight's display, i am now convinced that umpires deliberately go out to influence games a particular way (via AFL directive). So long as the competition is churning out money, Gil and his cronies couldn't give a hoot about the sanctity of the game.

Relax. Misson is gone at years end, watch AVB make a miraculous recovery and play all 22 (hopefully 25) games next year!
-
Bulltish, Goody is coach of the year imo ---------------------------------------------------------> ?
-
Would you say that as a result, this draft is not as talented/deep as last years DD?
-
tried to hit Viney when he wasn't looking, only to realise he was and shat himself!

Coburg v Casey Demons - Round 12
Demon Disciple replied to KC from Casey's topic in Melbourne Demons
Agree FD. We chose to draft him 6 months in advance, which will help his development no end. Develop him properly for the rest of the year, and we're looking at almost a second year player on the list instead of a newbie. -
WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JAY LOCKHART
Demon Disciple replied to Mickey's topic in Melbourne Demons
He doesn't go to ground and he places himself in and around packs and at the fall of the ball. Streets ahead of Spargo in that sense, and at this early stage (without an AFL pre-season no less) he seems to be more consistent in his efforts than Garlett. A lock as a small forward for the next 10 years in his current state, skys the limit with further development. -
Should be made to work extremely hard to find his way back into the team. I'd even propose not playing him for the rest of the year to really create a hunger in him over pre-season to force his way back in. Clean up the sub-standard disposal, develop more aggression instead of remaining passive, and for the love of god kick the lackadaisical attitude to the curb. No he's never going to have the footy sense of a Lever, or the disposal and aggression of a May, but a C-class player giving 100% effort is more valuable to a team than an A-grader turning in half arsed performances.

Dees Confirm Chase for Arsenal Fitness Guru
Demon Disciple replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Thanks for clearing that up Tony! -
The Petty selection is one in maximising development. Season’s over, may as well give it to young player’s who show potential, as opposed to bringing in duds and geriatrics.

What is left to look forward to in 2019
Demon Disciple replied to Wells 11's topic in Melbourne Demons
Easy fix, don’t have any friends! -
Not too sure when it comes to coaches, but surely we'd be anchored near the bottom if we're measuring playing list IQ levels.
-
i reckon we should throw the kitchen sink at Buttifant. Entice him back to footy.
-
As others have said, who exactly is he keeping out of the side? No one. If that remains the case going into next year, i expect Jones to play every game he is fit for. That is both a testament to his durability and our supposed improved depth (according to Goodwin) this year.

Ummm...............he currently sits on 276 games. If he plays the rest of the games this year (10), that'll leave him with 14 to get next year.

Nor will it 'just happen' for the rest of the team. This season is an example of getting way ahead of ourselves (Footy Department included).
