Kennedy and McGlynn at the Swans say hi: both similar types to Tuck. I agree though they dont give anything away generally.
-
Good to hear that he is coming back after a bad spell, he will never give up either. The muesli sounds nice, but for 17 bucks i think i will need to pass

Mine changed to energy watch in the last couple of hours....still linking to kaspersky
-
Its on mine, top right cornerish OD... I cant see energy watch or lexus though??? haha
-
It can be accessed from the internet, dont know if its on pay even atm? Anyway is a good show, alot of people seemed to like it more than i did,, not that i thought it was bad, just could have moved alot faster than it did imo. Definitely set up season 2 to deliver a bit more though...
-
Fair enough call, People seem to think we are flat out drafting him at thsi stage though, It is only a permission to train type thing... along way from draft worthy still
-
I actually think it was a "why did we delist Valenti" post, he is as talented as anyone post
-
Tuck lost his Career over the above mentioned reasons, Fev lost his career for many many many reasons, mainly being a d1k...i like Fev i think we would be great at alot of clubs, even Melbourne. Valenti is older, and slower, and unfortunately seems to have had his opportunity. Tuck wasnt delisted due to a lack of talent as such imo, he had alot of baggage which was holding him back, he must have moved forward since then to get Satterly's recommendation.

He has never been labelled as a recreational user of drugs; all of his drug taking has been put down to clinical depression whether this is right or not. Being that they assume he wouldn't be using unless he was depressed. Policy helped Tuck's depression diagnosis, says Anderson

Ok so a bit of this slipped into footy discussion lately, and we all have to be watching something.... Lets talk about what we are watching, what others should be watching, whats better ect ATM im watching Dexter, just finished Breaking Bad, The walking dead is good, Boardwalk empire anyone else like these? Anything else i should get into? Personally im a big dexter fan, alot of people going on about BB atm and season 4 of that, its not as good as the Trinity season of Dexter or Season one for that matter but good non the less. And Season 6 is doing enough for me atm, wont be ground breaking but delivers what i expect.

2011 Player Review - # 43 Tom McDonald
Jordie_tackles replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
I also have belief that alot of the North Ballarat players dont often get picked up early, just the way it goes, Cook and Frawley went around maybe Brown form Collingwood11 but i cant recall any others going high from this region (or often anyway), i have an interest being from Ballarat. normally they have 1 player go close to or first round then 2 more around the 40-70 range. Lutz hit it on the head though, we was playing part time as an undersized ruck (in TAC) which means he was nowhere near AFL ruckman size, so he wasnt drafted for one of his primary roles during draft year. -
2011 Player Review - # 42 Jake Spencer
Jordie_tackles replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
I have had Spencers back all year as well, he is only 22, and for those who havnt seen him in 18 months, alot wont have this guy is Huge now, as big as most AFL ruckmen and bigger than others, he is no longer "spencil". And saying he is wasting space.... we were 1 ruck injury away this year of making Gawn the number 1 ruck as a 19yo.... i cvan see a use for this guy, also commenst about his and Gawns form for Casey are 100% accurate to the game i saw them play in person, took apart North Ballarats and Victorian State rep Ruckan Stephan Orrenson that day imo, both were to big. Jake isnt an AFL ruckman yet, but could well become one, the Jolly analogy is quite good, probably a little off atm but Jake has another 3 years until his "prime", i was looking forward to seeing him after jamar got injured...unfortunately Spencer did the same that weekend. To many people can only remember the Spencer for 2009 not now, where were we all back in 2009? a very different place and different people to a degree i imagine. -
The only excuse Gysberts and Blease can have is that they havnt played 20 games between them and would be lucky to have 1 preseason between them. Even though they are expected to be runners now, being AFL level is high, and they have both been injured for significant periods during the last 12 months. Also Blease has a tendency to only run one way imo, which i thought was holding him back from AFL football for a long time, obviously lacks the required fitness. This is what Pre-season is for isnt it!
-
We don't need to change the list up until closer to the draft. I guess Neeld will want to see certain players in person, training etc.

The Waylen (aka Zyrus) Manson Thread
Jordie_tackles replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
If he is "best available" at any of our picks then i can see him being selected, if he isnt he may still be selected if people see alot of "upside" to use two cliche points. What im saying is obvious but that is how it is imo, not mid or forward ect just who is the best at any point in time -
Col Sylvia suspended for Round 1, 2012
Jordie_tackles replied to Bring-Back-Powell's topic in Melbourne Demons
He let his team down by missing round 1 if you followed the flow, exactly the opposite to how you read it, Team mates wont appreciate this and expect him to act in ways which are professional ect, not miss future games and possibly put in extra effort to make up the difference in effort for the game he misses -
The Waylen (aka Zyrus) Manson Thread
Jordie_tackles replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
I really have little expectation of him being the KPF, more a tall agile type, similar to Jurrah with freakish capablities. I dont know why, mainly just because h is so light, and only around 191cm maybe he can grow into a bigger role however. Non of this seems to be stopping him from kicking bags and bags atm.... -
Col Sylvia suspended for Round 1, 2012
Jordie_tackles replied to Bring-Back-Powell's topic in Melbourne Demons
Or will it affect him everyday for the next 4 months? Bing summed it up just above, Also the fact that HIS actions affect the team will means that they have a right to be disappointed in him and will most likely ask for more from him, rather than it not being their problem, now it is there problem and his. I doubt anything you can take off of Col now will mean as much as round 1 2012, that is meaningful to him, perfect call imo -
Green stands up for Aust team good to see
Jordie_tackles replied to Footynut's topic in Melbourne Demons
This thread should be renamed Tommy Walsh dominates Australia....if he can take this form to Sydney then he is teh next Mumford in terms of players Sydney steal for nothing and turn in to big names.... will make R. Lyon look stupid as well as the Saints.... was amazing tonight... Fast and Strong, was a presence....why alot of people were interested in him -
Green stands up for Aust team good to see
Jordie_tackles replied to Footynut's topic in Melbourne Demons
This is it, also it is a no name team to start with, would that IR team beat Brisbane? i have my doubts -
i agree and of these players, the highlighted missed significant parts of the year, so we also need adequate cover,, Trengove got suspended and Morton had an interupted preseason followed by a crap season
-
I am openly a fan to this happening, Mainly because good players will be hard to come by, especially at pick 74 or so this draft. If he is picked by Melbourne then he must have shown signs he will add to out list even as depth during 2012/13. He comes with endorsements from one of our current coaches. If he doesnt fit the above categories he wont be recruited simple, Also he only has permission to train so it may only be a vague interest atm anyway, nothing conrete
