2011 Player Review - # 21 Lucas Cook
The Big Ticket replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Saw him a few times at Casey. His contested marking and field kicking really stood out. However, each time I saw him, he was absolutely cooked by half-time. A big pre-season will definitely help and hopefully he can come in and play 10-15 games next year. As was the case with Watts, a lot of time and patience is required.- 71 replies

2011 Player Review - # 19 Addam Maric
The Big Ticket replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
I remember when he had a 6 goal haul in one of his first VFL games. And then about a year later during a game against West Coast kicked two monsters from outside 50 on the run. Wonder where it all went wrong for him. -
Disagree. Reasons have been highlighted above. Also disagree with your opinion on their list. They have some real young quality at both ends and if they add another jet midfielder to assist Boak, plus another 2-3 decent mids then they'll play finals in 2 years.

Why bother with Pendles now? We can land him for nothing this time next year.

Joel Corey mk II. Will be in our top 2-3 midfielders by the end of next year. Huge upside as long as his body holds up.
-
5 years ago, yes he was very quick. Bulked up too much last year and had a number of injuries that have held him back badly.

Winner: Geelong Margin: 10 points Norm Smith: James Kelly First Goal: Chris Dawes Crowd: 100,011 Key to the result: Geelong's midfield has the edge.

I thought that was a poor comment from Matty. Should have just looked over the vision from the Carlton game himself for starters.

I've watched Hansen closely this year and quiet frankly, I wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole. He's soft, has below average footy IQ, terrible decision maker and he's hopeless by foot. He's a hell of a lot more frustrating to watch than Dunn too. We can do better than going after Norf's damaged goods.

Not overly keen on the idea of King. Was part of Wallet's reign of terror at TigerLand.

Jack Watts panelist on The Footy Show tonight
The Big Ticket replied to The Chazz's topic in Melbourne Demons
I highly doubt that he'd get a say in whether players went on the show or not. -
Good news. The clean-out has started.

Jigsaw will be complete with a new Captain
The Big Ticket replied to Dee Landing's topic in Melbourne Demons
Agreed. The way Duck sunk the boot in - Jared just bowed his head and took it. I'm not big on the idea but maybe having co-captains next year will be the best solution. -

The Big Ticket replied to Dee Landing's topic in Melbourne Demons
Ugh. Rivers? Seriously? He went missing badly in all our losses this year. When we were crying out for leaders, he disappeared. He offers nothing offensively and rarely has an impact. Won't be in the leadership group next year. Just give it to Jack now. -
Some serious talent there, all chronically injured. Could certainly still turn out a super-draft yet.
-
I read this forum for about a year before I registered an account. I found Mo's posts very enjoyable to read and he was one of the few on here that had a genuinely good footy brain. It's a shame he doesn't post here anymore. Edit: Good bump, it was certainly an interesting read.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - 2011 Season Wrap Edition
The Big Ticket replied to Striker475's topic in Melbourne Demons
Important KPI this one. Clearly shows our good was good and our bad was terrible. -
My Coaching strategy for 2012 and beyond
The Big Ticket replied to Jack7's topic in Melbourne Demons
He said it himself - if you're out of the game for a year, you're useless as a coach. Why would Neeld only sign for one year here when he'll probably get a 3 year gig in Adelaide? -
Wouldn't be sad to see him go after the shite we've put up with this year. I thought he was better than this. Never expected us to be talking about a new captain so soon after he was appointed. Oh well.
-
How is Clint such a bad kick? I don't play football and I can easily kick better than him.
-
Col standing up at least.
-
Obviously the players do too. Effing disgraceful start.
-
After being told how popular he was as coach in Moama, I'm very worried.
-
I wonder if Sydney would give up Kennedy for Sylvia and someone else. Kennedy is exactly the sort of player we need right now.

Hard to believe our losses have been worse than 2008. I thought those days were behind us.
