PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 18th December 2024
sue replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
I suspect the lack of shepherding these days is because the player disposing of the ball instead tries to run to space to offer an option to receive again. In days of yore, there was more emphasis on kicking it forward asap, so protecting the player about to kick was more important. -
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-14215413/AFL-Christian-Petracca-marries-Bella-Beischer-Melbourne.html The journos must be on holiday. Where is the story listing all the Demon players who are not in the photo and speculating stating their absence shows MFC is in chaos.

"We aren't great at any phase of the game"
sue replied to The Taciturn Demon's topic in Melbourne Demons
Has the Premiership winner always been great in all phases of the game. Or just great in one, and pretty good in the others? Or even pretty good in all three? -
Do you really think the few oddballs at the AGM really represent what has been wrong (or right) about the club and its elected officials? Sounds more like you are just looking for any evidence, no matter how irrelevant, to support your views.

You seem to have so many conflicts of interest that they all cancel out making you the ideal person to get this done.

I've read it and I wouldn't pay money for that. Tells us little except he is tough.

Draft Behind The Scenes - First 15 Hours as a Draftee
sue replied to adonski's topic in Melbourne Demons
I'd find that much more interesting than what was in the video this week (apologies to those who enjoyed it). -
I usually don't comment on highlight reels of new players because that is exactly what they are - poor play doesn't appear. But this performance seems to show the bad as well as the good because it shows him turning the ball over by foot and hand a large number of times and just bombing it. I assume that the BOG awarders and our recruitment team saw enough good to overweigh that.

True, and it may help with us getting Caufield. Pies may 'assist' us to get what they want.
-
Sadly I think that is the case for many of us. In the meantime we hope he plays well and urges his teamates on.

If my reading of the article is correct, that is not right. It says Petraaca made statements in his first public appearance at a Melb Cup function: In his first public appearance since his disillusionment with the Demons became known more than two months ago, the midfielder spoke positively about the Demons’ culture. Asked if he was happy with the culture at the club, Petracca said: “I think so. Culture is an interesting word. It’s a high-performance industry and for me we’re always trying to improve and get better. “For me, getting people through the door is the right thing. We’ve had healthy conversations and that’s awesome. Like any industry and any club, we’re looking to improve.”

For Petracca watchers too: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl/gary-pert-quits-as-melbourne-ceo-20241031-p5kmu7.html

Surely it's the other way around. If you plan to push someone you have plenty of time to line up a replacement before you do the actual push (unless you have to push immediately because they have been suddenly caught doing something truly outrageous or illegal). If you don't have replacement lined up. it sounds more like the person quit without giving much notice.

That's true. (Well to be precise, it's a fact he says he was told.) But on the other hand so many people seem to have a 'source'. No way of knowing how good the source is or even if people aren't just making it all up. We need an impartial scoreboard of who got things right about such things in the past and who didn't. Good luck with that. Binman is right - this is getting unreadable.

Probably not. Ditto for the press you'd think.
