  1. did you read about it?
  2. http://lermagazine.com/article/managing-turf-toe-in-football-players
  3. And soft tissue muscle injuries when a player needs to start off cautiously. and really rsi as well. needs to be not over worked. tendonitis. I would rest him to before the QB game, with only easy running and stretching.

    We should be breaking bread with all of them, just for a chat. Check the weather with them.

    Lynch isn't quick enough for the way the game is heading. We have so many players of his pace and size. We need more athletic diversity in our list. Class runners who play both on the inside and outside. One out there is a free agent. Not sold on Gaff. He is a very good player, but I wonder IF We,,, can do better. He hasn't been a complete player in his career. Only now is he doing the other bits of the game. Why only now?
  6. I want us to win another Premiership. This week is nothing more than another game.
  7. I believe that D17. And I'm a firm believer in players resting thru the season, when its required. Maintaining them fit and healthy, for the times they're really needed. I hope he rests this week. We have to have faith in the players who only last year did the right thing for us. We didn't last year and it hurt us. Its a long season and we will have opportunity later on to show the Crows our full armada.
  8. Proper orthotic design boots ! McDonalds own custom boots, that fit. .
  9. the Bull and the Bear. watt wyl the markets think? Better be ready Friday afternoon. It could be a sell, early. But a buy Monday morning.
  10. The facts are, he cut short his training yesterday. He had treatment, and then went off for scans today. Confirmed on the news tonight. If it was enough for all that, and with his recent history. its worth while missing one match, to rest it. especially with the short turnaround between the Crows game and the Bullies game. I would prefer he played the bullies game, of these two games.... miss this week, if required. The 4 points don't care which team you win them against, and nor does the ladder,,,, they are all the same value. And following the Bullies game, we have a long break leading into Queens-Birthday match. The other thing is, we don't show our full hand during the match against the Crows. For all to see.
  11. I just read the article; he won't play if their sensible. Same foot. they won't risk it even if its not the turf toe thing, as they all relate symbiotically. It needs rest, and after the crows game, its a short turnaround for the doggies game. I expect TMc to be back for Q/Birthday. Welcome back Pedo.

    I would like to see what he's like, in our new team and attitude.

    I do not want to lose Weide. I believe he will be our tall forward/follower as he grows his game. A beaut kick as well. And a powerful mark around the ground, who will crash packs and bodies, like his GrandPa.

    Sloane is more of what we need imo. over Lynch. A swing player similar to the mold of Steven May would be handy, but I wonder if TSmith could do that ? I think Smith is potentially very handy player.

    And we should be doing likewise... talk him up DJ. The pies also want Lynch. And no doubt, quietly would like Gaff as well. And we should be into all of them,,,, until we see where the lye of the land is.

    Do we really need Gaff? or would it/we be better, with a HF/Mid, who has a touch of magic inside the 50 ? Think StevieJ.
  17. DV8 replied to DemonLad5's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Yes, I would. He fits the age bracket we need more leadership within. Sloane of Lynch. would be good. Adding gaff would help our gut running area. Three seems to be a few coming up Re possible shifts. IMO, in four years time we will have a lot of pressure on our salary cap. More-so then than now. Getting these mature players will serve us well, as long as they are potent winners. But we need to hold our picks as much as possible, so we have young talent ready in 4 years time, to start their AFL careers.

    Your right Earl. The difference I think is, these types are gamblers/risk takers, which is what makes them above the others. They'll have a red hot dip. Think Lockett. rough cut gem. Gablett snr. Te Robbie Flowers are extremely rare. and we very nearly rejected him. Our supporters IMO have reduced down to almost all, of similar cut jibs, conservative non risk taking styles. In that embarrassment weighs heavier in their minds than being successful. Not wanting to take these risks on rough cuts types, for FEAR of embarrassment, and going against the clean club, 'mantra'. Re De Goey, I have no idea how or if we could afford him, but from what I've seen we need a player on wing half-forward like him. With his quick agile moving, and clean thinking/reacting. He is dynamic.

    That was my thought a couple of days ago DaG. But on 2nd thoughts I don't know that he IS a DH. He is possibly a fired up creative type with aggression... a little like a Toby Greene. Every club needs a dynamo, like that. My thinking has changed since a couple of weeks back, when he first hit the headlines. We are too conservative by fault, too often. We need to take more risks, to get to the top.
  20. DV8 replied to DV8's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    you don't think De Goey could add anything to us? scorn isn't your best suit et.
  21. I would too. The young fella might turn, into a Follower. worth the risk.

    What price? Is their any way we could get this player into rednblue ?
  23. DV8 replied to DV8's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    We'll be paying very close to this for Gaff, if he comes our way. Maybe we would be better going after RSloane this year; and aiming at DShiel in the 2019 free agency?
