old dee

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.

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!

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.

Hmm, 12 on the player list and 13 results!

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.

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.

Still the best time for a footy game! But then I am old.

No idea pf.

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.

Very!

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.

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.

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.

The first 5 games killed us Mr. leg. With injuries our season was finished at that point. We are a bottom five team with multiple losses by large margins to teams in the bottom half of the ladder. Our list is better than bottom five but it is not a list that will play in a GF without some major changes. After the top half dozen we have no stars that will take us to a GF let alone win one. e.g. CHF and CHB. Lever is now injured for long periods and Turner is not a replacement. JVR is an Average player, he is not a top quality forward. We have some big holes to fill.

Since hearing of his appointment back 6 months ago I have been critical of appointing someone who could not start till the season was over. I have wondered who the others were on the list? However on reflection ( it's always much easier to be clever after the evident) it may have been to our advantage. He has been able to observe without being involved on a day to day basis. I have wanted the AFL to appoint people from outside the old boys club so I wait to see how our adventure turns out. From zero knowledge it would appear the board decided some time ago that things needed a hard reset. Here we go, Coach gone, I expect more in the FD to follow and a top level player or 3 to be traded. Anyone on the player list who is now without a contract would seem to be an indangered species. An interesting few weeks awaits. Getting the Caulfield situation agreed would be a nice start.

Thank you Joe for once again this year giving us your player review after each match. I hope you will front up again in 2026. Demonland without you would be a serious loss. A parting comment on your last player “ dull as always” why he keeps getting games is beyond me.

I gave up after the saints game LH. My only interest in AFL is who we pick as coach and who gets traded from our list. A small correction. I am interested in how some of our Casey players perform in the finals games. I looked at the list last night and I reckon there are at least 8 who will never be senior level players.

Excellent! That may well be the over statement of this month.

DD I am old probably similar to you. I said to friend this morning that you can knock someone out and end their career. Potentially decreasing their quality of life for the next 50 years and get off Scot free to play in a GF. However if you call someone a name you get 4-5 games and potentially not play in a GF. It seems way out of wack to me.

Yes a number where he was the sub however he has had a larger number as full games.

What is the source of that comment DJ?

I would normally say that he has shown over many seasons with 2 teams that he is nqr at senior level. However there are a number currently playing at senior level that are giving less than he would. After Saturday's senior game he should be selected for the game against the pies if we are serious about winning the game.
