  1. We do still handball a lot ofmut if congestion but the speed with which we're doing it now is crazy. The ball pings from one player to another to another in a split second getting that player free to put the ball into space before the opposition really know what's happened. And we're not handballing to a guy 1m away it's more like 5m which allows us to spread quicker rather than the receiving player getting tackled before he's got the footy
  2. The thing I love most is that we seem to have finally developed a killer instinct like a shark that's got the scent of blood in the nostrils. I think it was Healy on On The Couch who said the mantra at the club is to step on the necks of the opposition. That's a ruthlessness I've never seen at the Demons in my time. We have developed a hard edge but have talent on every line to really dismantle sides and not just grind out wins. All this positive press makes me uneasy and I want to see us do it over a long period but bloody hell it feels exciting like we could be on the cusp of something really special.
  3. Obviously Pyke couldn't bear to give Lever a vote ?
  4. Obviously it's not the same. I was only using it as a comparison but he doesn't handball in the traditional sense - still legal though
  5. It wouldn't surprise me to see the AFL change the rules to combat his handball technique. It's the most unconventional technique since the old flick pass
  6. Love his pressure, never stops chasing
  7. UP THE MIGHTY DEMONS!!!
  8. Meh, it's a man's game who gives a stuff. I hope they do get preoccupied with Lever, then the rest of our side can run all over them.
  9. I reckon it was getting g fined for not tanking. AFL would've looked stupid and had lots of club kick back if they then handed us a PP.
  10. Surely the AFL wouldn't award a priority pick to a club who clearly tanked?
  11. Listening to the age podcast this week Caro stated MFC would like to get out of selling games but because we are beholden to the AFL they won't allow us to move (or MFC are unwilling to for fear of repercussions from head office). Similar issue Saints have with being shunted to China next year. The sooner we have our finances in order and can tell the AFL to get stuffed the better.
  12. Fckin amateurs
  13. Daniel Chick did it with his finger, surely a toe is easier to get along without.
  14. Don't you mean relax ?
  15. He's pulled up sore every game since returning I don't think is a new thing. Listening to him on the MFC podcast after his return he delayed getting treatment earlier in the year thinking it was just a small thing so obviously now the second he doesn't feel comfortable he's going to notify the docs and get it checked out. He may or may not play on Sunday but I don't think you can fault the club for having him train, he has to train in some capacity if he is expecting to play.
  16. Last year we seemed to cop teams at the worst possible time, this year we've had a decent run which continues this week against the Crows with their current injury problems. If we're fair dinkum this is 5 on the trot.
  17. Our crowd numbers actually stack up pretty well

    Tyson and Vince would clear up a little space you'd think

    I could've told you that! Seriously I don't put any stock in anything these new breed journos say, more likely to source info off here than anyone connected in the footy world.

    Fixed ?
  21. Yes. He was one of our best early in the game.
  22. Watching on tv I was thinking at half time we have a tendency to run forward in waves but it was like we were aiming to get the ball to about 35-40m out and then didn't really know what to do, handballing in circles, stuffing around with it etc The 2nd half it felt like we started attacking the goals rather than trying to set it up a bit further out and we just steamrolled forward. It was dominance which I haven't seen from a Melbourne side before whenever we got the footy we would roll forward with 3 or 4 players similar to GWS "Orange tsunami"

    Levers been improving every week and played his best game for us today

    2005 we beat them by 105pts

    Prestia went to Richmond. Turned out well but at the time it seemed a purely financial decision.
