Josh mahoney confirms smith up forward this year

Great goal set up by a ferocious tackle on beams by vdb. Vandersloot has been incredibly hard at it for a practice game.

Pert interview interesting. Speaking about the stream he said fans want content, access and an inside perspective and they are going to provide that this year. Perhaps he hasn't sent the memo to his comms team yet but situation sounds positive

Even with no vision i can tell the umpires are crucifying us!

Jaguar should have sponsored the live stream. They're also prone to breaking down.

Well that was cutting edge. I might have gone a little early with my credit where credit is due comment

Exactly how I feel. I was devastated. No other loss comes anywhere near it in terms of impact. Of course part of that was the loss (and how we lost) but it was also the game itself. It was emotionally intense from go to whoa. The dream of the gf was real. Right up to that last kick. I was young. 19. I remember boarding a bus after the game and not being able to handle the jubilant hawks fans. I yelled at some fella to turn his radio off as I couldn't stand listening to the post match palaver. I went with a mate who was a big hawks fan. We didn't talk on the way home. I always wondered how we would have gone in the gf. My feeling is the blues would have thrashed us as the prelim was so heightened. But maybe that was me trying to make myself feel better.

Dees to take on Pies in Scratch Match (22/2/19)

I like the warning. Any replay of our preliminary final against wc should carry the same warning. -
AFLW: The Farce of the Conference System
binman replied to Demonland's topic in AFLW Melbourne Demons
Yes. And apart from the jumper 'issue' there are the facts we often have had to play them at docklands, a ground th hat until recently we have struggled and the not insignificant commercial impact of not playing at home. -
AFLW: The Farce of the Conference System
binman replied to Demonland's topic in AFLW Melbourne Demons
Yes. They are. And with each team playing each other one each of the relevant clubs would get 9 home games to try and take advantage of that. But swapping home games each year is the only fair way to ensure some clubs are not unfairly disadvantaged by playing there more often. The best dees related example is the ridiculous number of times we have had to play at kardinia park in the last 10 years and how infrequently we get a return game. -

Credit where credit is due. Good work dees. Can they ensure pies fans can't watch it? -
An op or a procedure?

AFLW: The Farce of the Conference System
binman replied to Demonland's topic in AFLW Melbourne Demons
Four points. First rarely does it happen that a team is easy beats one year and world beater the next. Secondly even if it occurs that is an argument for playing teams only once per year. As stands lets say you have to play Cats twice and they go woefully this season you are advantaged over teams that play them once. And lets say you play Brisbane twice and they have a breakout season, teams that play them once are advantaged Thirdly the home games are not really the advantage they once were, with ground rationalization, the trend towards ground having similar dimensions and stadiums surrounds and the growing professionalism of clubs. Finally the current system is a joke n terms of equity - both in terms of determining the finals and commercially. Lord help us if this the best we can expect. -
I am assuming you know that because you asked him?

I didn't realise may was aboriginal. there you go.

Some interesting and valid points. I am actively reconsidering my position(s). The scoring chains from kick out stat is interesting. It will be fascinating to see if that average across the board increases (one assumes it will) and if so how dramatically. Good to know we were the best at it last year. Might mean we have an advantage this year in that area. Will be fascinating to see what strategies Goody (and other coaches) employ from the kick out and which players are chosen to kick (potentially different players for different strategies).
