goal kicking The Mythical Hundred
Moonshadow replied to MudDogs Gawn Win.. someday's topic in Melbourne Demons
And a blast from the past... I think Alan Jackovic got to 50 goals from 9 games -
Gus is one high draft pick we really need to become elite. Others are on their way, for a variety of reasons he is not. Massive talent.
-
Leadership.

Not milkshake please. Stretch if fit. Kent if he is paying any attention at all. Hannan and JKH meh. How's Gus looking, anyone? Want him to be fit and his mind ready to go soon.
-
My thinking has changed. Not convinced a big fish is healthy for our progress forward. Some key medium fish (May, Lever?) a couple of Lewis-like aged leaders and retention of our young guns is the key. Not Dusty, not Fyfe on inflated coin. No way.

Saw Maxy in the trident area signing autographs pretty game. PLEASE HEAL QUICKLY MAX!!! May the 12-16 become 8-9.

He's soiled now. No point.

The Petracca v McCartin debate reprised
Moonshadow replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Hyperbole, blowhards and smart alecs are commonplace. Post counts are irrelevant. But keep at it you. -
Another gun mid, key fwd and key def and we are away That and leadership

Sorry, no -
Just chew us up and spit us out again!
Moonshadow replied to picket fence's topic in Melbourne Demons
Gotta say, this is the first year where I've thought the umpires have lost the ability to pay reasonable frees rather than guess towards howlers. They seriously have lost the plot to either pay the obvious ones or refrain from blowing the whistle on nothing much. The number of apologies each week from their head is a joke. Tough gig. The grey interpretations change monthly and we are asking them to make calls on micro second actions so of course they'll fail. On top of this we ask them to have ball skills (bounce, throw ins) and to adapt to the conditions. I agree with Hardwick - it's a tough, thankless job, not their fault... but head office needs to clarify, simplify and justify. -

Never a bigger crock of unfounded [censored] posted. And that's saying something -
In this week: Gawn, Smith, Smith and... er, Spencer Outs: Er....oh [censored] it, whatever.....

Now we are beating the teams we lost to last year and losing to those we beat Go figure
-
I'd like 2 big leadership fish. Not big fish, but LEADERS! Too many tight games lost from lack of composure and leadership.
-
Effectively another 8 point game when trying to fight for a finals spot. We are now 10th when we should be at least 8th, maybe 7th or 6th. Very disappointing. We lack leadership in tight games and until we overcome this we will continue to be mediocre at best
-
If we were to be judged by our poorest 6 we are in serious trouble. JKH, ANB, Harmes, Hannan, Milkshake, Omac, etc
-
JKH and Hannan on very, very thin ice
-
Reality check. Skills too sloppy. Entries into forward 50 continue to be an issue. Potential only counts for so much. Key players go missing for too long. Unable to react and shut down influential oppo players. LACK OF LEADERSHIP IN TIGHT GAMES! Same old same old.

Rule change may be to our huge disadvantage

Paddy looks like he lives off a diet of burgers and fries. He's a big unit. That was a hard hit to the back of the guy's ribs whilst he had his arms up marking. At least 1 week. -

The SA league has a 'last clear kick or handball out' rule. Not off hands or body or in a contest. I like it with the tweak that opponents can't deliberately let the ball go over when they could've kept it in, such as we've seen in the AFL -
Might be the beginning of the decline for Crows. Well I'm running with that thought anyway...
