Welcome to Demonland: Steven King
The thing I like about this decision is that not a single word came from the club during the process. Too often clubs have serious leaks including the mfc. Not a word of comment from the club. A Solid effort.

CASEY: Elimination Final vs Williamstown
As you are no doubt aware brownie the VFL must be the worst run sporting competition in Australia. I think they don't want to subtract one fan from the WAFL. They want ever possible pair of eyes on the WAFL. In fact they will probably count the fans watching by individual eyeballs. 20k eyeballs looks a lot bigger than 10k spectators.

The Wade Derksen Thread
Agree DS. We have 3 NQRs in Fullerton, Jefferson and Dull. You mentioned Adams, hmm 1 poor game at senior level to his credit. Being average in your first game is half expected. But Poor! Let's say that the job is in front of him.

This raises an interesting situation at the MFC. We have no coach yet we seem to be making decisions on who comes and goes.

Journalists! 95% are commentators. CT hails from the 5% area.

IMO Mr. Leg he has already shown us what he can do. It ain't much.

The Wade Derksen Thread
Sorry sns. I will have to reread, leaving that aside I think GWS would be the poorer from such a deal. May's value is over rated on here.
-
The Wade Derksen Thread
Have you watched any games this year? He has consistently been the best KPB this year. He is the glue that has held the backline together and will do so again next season.

I would take that in a flash, sadly GWS are not that silly.

Why on earth would GWS want May!

The List Manager
Agree with all except Salem. Culley is a keep for mine. You are supposing 6 changes, that is a high number by the averages. The problem is who are you bringing in to replace them? It's pointless if you are only replacing one nqr with another nqr. Take JVR as an example. Good Key forwards seem to be rarest of players across the league. In JVR's case in his first year he showed a lot of promise. Since then zero improvement imo. I don't think you would get much if you traded him. From memory we coffed up a first round pick for him. In my wildest dreams I don't think we would get more than a 2nd round pick.

Steven May's Future
Sorry I was referring to Lever.

Steven May's Future
That's if he gets on the park Mr. Leg. In the last 2 years he has played a hand full of games. Seems to be having a lot of injuries to his feet. Next year I would be surprised if he got 10 games. In fact very surprised. That being the case now is the time to off load him while he has a small amount of currency left. Of course it is all speculation. He might be very happy getting paid a lot of money for a small number of games.

Steven May's Future
Without Tmac they would be found out in a big way in 2027. Sadly they are not good enough to replace May and Lever. If May and Lever want out I don't see it as impossible. Father time as caught up with May and Lever is injury prone in one of the worst areas " his feet". The problem is we would get 9 tenths of nothing for them. The only positive thing I can see losing them might help is the Salary cap. Both would be on fairly high salaries.

Jake Melksham & Tom McDonald Sign On For 2026
Hmm, 12 on the player list and 13 results!

My 3 word player analysis for 2025
Well this is a surprise Joe. I agree with most however I think you are a little harsh on Salem and Adam’s only had one game. This year I am sad to say I have finally come to agree with you Sparrow. Why is his in the team?

Spot on JCB.

Jake Melksham & Tom McDonald Sign On For 2026
2 veterans who held the fowardline and backline together this year. Good to see they will be there in 2026. Sadly it does show how poor our younger KPF's and KPB's are.

AFLW: Rd 02 vs St. Kilda
A big event today. I watched 4 quarters of women's footy. Dees were too good in a game with decent skills that kept the score board ticking over. The the last half of the hawks and blues game. 5 goals between the two teams. My Granddaughter who is staying over tonight kept asking me why are you still watching Pa? This game is poor. Finally we watched some female basketball from earlier this year. You all know I am not big fan but I decided to watch today and give it a chance. Dee's game I enjoyed, how much because I am invested? Good question. I am not sure but it was definitely a better game than the Hawks/ blues game. If that is the std that those 2 teams produce each week then they don't deserve to be on national TV. 10 games to go, if the Dees keep this up I might be very interested by Cup day.

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
All will be revealed when our new coach is appointed. Until then this is just the ramblerings of Demon fanatics who like me have no idea what is actualy happening.

Petracca & Oliver at the Dees in 2026?
I remember a few years ago probably the same people wanted Tmac and Milkshake gone. Yes both are very close to the end but they have held the backline and forwarding together this year. Viney is going nowhere.

The Next CEO
With a new coach we probably start from square one in 2026 Mr. Leg which I think will be a positive. From your list we have some potential good players however I struggle that there is anyone on that list who will be very good, Lindsay and Windsor perhaps the others mostly quartz that we hope will turn into a diamond. I like the look of Kentfield but Jefferson will never be more than a VFL player. I have defended Sparrow and Chandler in the past but I have to admit they are probably in the 25 to 30 range on our list. We have some good players but we have a lot of nqr's.
