Delistings/trades at end of the season
Demon Disciple replied to Northern Summer's topic in Melbourne Demons
At 189cm and 87kg, he's that big bodied mid that PR seems to love. Has some pace about him too. -
Delistings/trades at end of the season

Is that a question Song?, if it is..........i don't, if it isn't................i agree -
Maybe it is impossible to assess Nasher, and maybe it's extremely simplistic of me. Is it too much to expect 'elite' results from our 'elite performance manager'?
-
Salem disappointment aside, how long does it take to return from a broken toe? Frost has been out for nearly 2 months now, throw in Kent (who's hammy was a big one i know), many of our injured players' are not recovering within the appropriate time-frame. This should not be acceptable. Misson is definitely one who has escaped the blow torch with his performance. If it was Bodhan 'whatever his name' is, demonland would be calling for his head.. Maybe it's time we started looking for a new performance manager.

I'd rather chase Prestia than Aish. -
MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 11
Demon Disciple replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
What was the point of dropping Grimes last week, only to bring him back in after staying down in Casey for only 1 week? These are some of the selection calls that contradicts the very thing Roos himself 'says' he is trying to achieve, yet his actions clearly state otherwise. Very confusing indeed. And if it is confusing the supporters, then it would have to be confusing the players. -
I'm going to get technical here. The question was "who is my first-choice ruckman", not "who do i believe is our best ruckman". The latter still goes to Jamar, why?, because he has runs on the board. Spencer and Gawn don't. However given the actual question, Jamar is on his last legs, Spencer will always be a stop-gap and nothing more and Gawn needs to get as many games into him to speed up his development (hopefully with as few injury hiccups as possible).

National Under 18 Championships - 2015
Demon Disciple replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Is this draft consider a shallow one or on par, when compared to recent years? -
That's a good get!
-
I nominate M Jones and Howe.

To hell with that, Vote 1 Pia Miller!

National Under 18 Championships - 2015

It's a pitty that Weideman is out with a fractured foot, would've been interesting to see how he went during the championships. -
He's good mates with Stretch and was thought to be a good selection by Melbourne, when we picked him #40.

MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 10
Demon Disciple replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
For the life of me i have no idea why they persist with Howe, even as a back-man, over Grimes. At least Grimes gets involved in the contest, whereas Howe does SFA except for his cameo hanger. Agree with above sentiments, unless the coaching group are giving a couple their potential last rites as MFC players, some of the decisions are pretty poor. -
There are 2 reasons for me going to the QB game. 95% of it is to rock up for the 'Reverend' beanie in tow. The other 5% is to contribute to get as high an attendance as possible. 0% is to go and support our players. The fact that after all these years (as a group) they still pick and choose when to give 4 quarter efforts is disgusting and downright offensive to all those MFC members who continually give of their time and money and receive a virtual slap in the face for it.

Paul Roos - don't give us more excuses!
Demon Disciple replied to Soidee's topic in Melbourne Demons
All get my tick of approval. Garland is an RFA, but if he goes i wouldn't be too perturbed either. A bit of experience gone no doubt, but a lot of the poor culture gone too. Admittedly not all of it their fault. -
So did a lot of others over the years. Davey and Moloney immediately spring to mind.
-
Sorry, hard to convey and interpret tone when it comes to computers.

That's probably because an unhealthy fat person would never physically challenge themselves to such a level as to force an injury
-
Sure he is more proven at CHB than as a KPF, but he would be better than Dawes playing forward. No harm in having a quality swing man either. I'd see Tomlinson as more gettable though, even though he is smaller. He'd be easier to complete a successful trade too, as Essendrug are notorious to deal with.

Paul Roos - don't give us more excuses!
Demon Disciple replied to Soidee's topic in Melbourne Demons
Whilst i agree that the easy part is getting rid of the NQR players and the hard part is finding quality replacements, it shouldn't prevent a continued mass culling and turnover of our list. There are still so many players that are simply not up to AFL standard. We already know what these players are and aren't capable of. The likes of Bail, Jones, Terlich, McKenzie etc should all be given the flick because they have had long enough to prove they are worthy of playing AFL level football yet have continually shown that they aren't up to it and won't aid in our efforts to rise up the ladder. Sure there's a madness in continually bringing in and culling more NQR players to fill the recently ousted NQR positions, but the new recruits are unknown at AFL level (most will be unsuccessful, but some might pay off - like a vandenBerg). It's like panning for gold, you've got to continually sort through all the cr@p and keep digging, but every now and then you find something. -
GAME DAY at Alice Springs - Round 9

The whole team should walk back, would save us some money on airfares and really turn this week into a win for us. -

why have i wasted another Saturday on this pathetic mob? I would have got more enjoyment out of doing chores around the house.
