"One of these is Adelaide key defender Alex Keath. Keath started the year in what was bordering on All Australian form before probably tailing off a little in the second half of the season, but still appears to be a quality option in that part of the ground", quote. https://www.theroar.com.au/2019/08/27/all-cake-no-icing-three-offseason-strategies-to-fix-the-dreadful-demons/

Melkshem is one of our better finishers and will make a difference up forward once he returns (Hopefully only a few weeks after the bye!) Go Dees??? B658BC78-E5C3-414D-8C32-4E6846DB0FF5.mp4

One of the positives to come out of the 'Year we had to Have' is the new game style that is more defensive based. We have only been playing this style 3-4 games, hence IMHO this is what Harmes was referring to. Even though we had a good run in the finals last year, the prelim & the first few games of 2019 our game style, as we all know, was so easy to score against. Without the form & injury disaster that has been 2019, would we have adopted this new plan 'B' that will hold up better in finals??

It’s on now. Steve May speaks so well. Gawn is always a laugh

http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2019-02-15/misson-enters-his-final-chapter Will be interesting to see the eventual new fitness setup

The Flip side is that they were all carrying these injuries into matches hence limiting performance in some way. It may take 3-4? games to get our best team on the park but at least they may all be in a physically better place by the pointy end of the season. Go Dees!

100% agree. He has a steely resolve and love the quality of the person. His potential is huge considering the Talent he has around him at the MFC this year. He has mentioned in the past how he'd love to play in the style of Alex Rance but was limited due to the young backline at the Suns. How exciting!

Gotta love this!!!!

Dunstall sat there on quietly on fox footy post match whilst the Roosy and King talked us up. I thought he was stewing that Dees would be up against his beloved Hawks next week. Then he said that was the toughest MFC outfit he had seen in the 20 years as a footy commentator!

Yeh it was almost as if the umpires were getting one back for being played with at the Cattery in rnd18! How proud are we of the boys tonight, just sensational! Go Dees!

George was at the door at Chasers, Great memories! Crinitis pizza in Carlton is expensive but sensational (Frankie Fingers with gorgonzola!) Otherwise Torino's Special in Heidelberg!

Agree. I saw the Tyson xray post op (this is similar https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/fracture-bones-forearm-orthopedic-surgeon-operated-582434254) Just cant see them risking him yet. Hannan/Viney/Smith gives us more defensive/goals/grunt than JKH/Tyson/Kent Just great to have options & depth at this time of year! Go Dees!

Tyson has a fracture of the ulna a couple of inches up from the wrist. It has been screwed and plated. Outside chance to be fit for first final. Kent injured his R/H ac joint (opposite side to the one reconstructed last year). The collarbone is slightly displaced. No news re; 1) which of the 3 possibilities below if any (diagram downloaded from Dr Google) or 2) recovery time.

The AFL chose the MFC elimination final for Friday night football. They chose the brand that plays the most exciting football for their premier AFL audience. Gee things have changed! Go Dees!

Firstly we are lucky to live in a country we’re we can have an opinion, be safe and have a great life. As far as ‘barracking & supporting’ a sporting team as humans the spectrum will vary from those whom it is their lives 24/7 to those who just provide token support. Unfortunatley in this current world with Social Media some negative posts have a lot more affect on individuals & management within a Club than they ever had before, hence the exploding issues with mental health of players at clubs. IMHO this is what Goodwin was referring to.

Hogan 2018 season over with foot/ankle injury sustained during game on Sunday.(Navicular bone) Maybe announced this arvo To some posters, got to be careful what you wish for……

Unfortunately I agree but hope this is not the case

My bad. Guzzie can personally lock me up in some stocks from Port Arthur!

Hey Guzzie, Do Hobart Demon supporters hang out at any pubs to watch the MFC games? I am in Hobart Saturday night with work and wondered where I could go? As a back up I will have the trusty bottle of red in my bag so I have company as I scream at the TV in my hotel room! PS - Sorry to alarm demonlanders with the heading of the post but was not sure how to contact a member directly!

Compared to Queens birthday we were not disgraced yesterday. It took the first 3 games to get a cohesive style going. It just so happened to that we lost Lever just as we came up against top 8 teams. Once Lever went down so did our top 4 chances. He is a massive out. That’s why we gave so much away to get him. We don’t have the player to cover for him. Hence I doubt we can kick those big scores now because we will leek goals out back. That is the reality. Look at West Coast without their 2 key forwards. As supporters we need to deal with it. As the coaches have opportunities to learn other ways to win. Keep learning more opportunities. The positive is that we can adapt & practise new setups that we can use mid game later on The TMac revelation occurred through adversity. Go Dees! PS IMHGHFO - (In My Humble Glass Half Full Opinion)

The wrist slashing is amazing and unfortunately predictable on Demonlogy. Lost Lever = massive team balance issues. Our hardness yesterday especially the first Qtr I have not seen in a MFC team for long time if not ever. Viney getting back to his best, Melksham working through being tagged, Tyson in didn’t work so let’s now try Garlett in? Other opportunities? Port will not have so many things fall there way at the MCG.

Agree with the consensus on Pedo. Weeds and Tim Smith share that role now depending on form. Time to see how Garlett & Tyson fit into this new structure. Petty in for taller Forward line like West Coast The hope was fantastic while it lasted but we still need a Gaff or similar and are still building as a team so get more time and games into our youth.
