Demon Dynasty

Caddy for mine

Turner by 2025?

Sanders would be great but won't he be gone by our 7?

Yeh that's my body

One of the great footy stories. Probably my favourite bloke in the club in terms of his happy demeanor, never-say-die attitude and work ethic. Then again there's Piggy and Clazz! Hard to split. I recall the first year wondering who this Harmes kid was at Casey (or was it Sandy back then?). Any relation to Wayne Harmes? If so what's he doing at the Demons? Had his ups and downs early but eventually found his feet. Remembering that he started 2021 under an injury cloud. Stuck his head down at Casey for a few matches and showed the FD he was ready again. In he came and the rest is history. The steal in the GF to turn things was a piece of football magic / folklore that all Demon faithfull will never forget. Thanks for the premiership and truly wish you much success at the Doggies. Thank Lucifer it wasn't the peptides.

I know which one i'm choosing

Bah! Where's Frosty!??

Exactly what i was thinking this morning. Amazing what a diff a name (with connections/cred) can do

I'd gladly hire a make up artist and put a torso muscle suit on for a year LH if someone offered me that sorta coin! I limit it to a year as i'd probably end up spending most of it in hospital recovering from various things or being conpletely rebuilt a la Steve Austin (actor not wrestler)

Very aware it's one of, if not the toughest positions to play. Anyway we are poles apart on Chandler's second half performance it seems. Statistically his average player rating in the back half (Rnds 13 - 24 vs Rnds 1 - 12) was down 17%. Can he correct and put in a more consistent season in 24? I'm sure he has the potential but that is his challenge imv.

A bit average at VFL level for most of the season is a generous assessment EO. Towards the end he fell off a cliff. Unless we're intending to have him as some sort of cover / chop out for Max as sub or off the bench then i don't see the need. That very opportunity presented itself in the SF but where was he? So if he isn't there for those sort of scenarios, and we have to assume he isn't as Simon showed us that by his own inaction, then he's merely clogging the list for another potential talent. And potentially getting in the road of existing young TF talent umder development at Casey such as Jeffo. Sure, if we hadn't recruited Fullarton i might understand the reasoning in terms of experience and clubman assistance at VFL level as you're suggesting. Regardless Jeffo (and even JVR if he ends up back at Casey for short stints) has that in spades with the likes of Macca & BB already spending plenty of time down their in 23 and likely to do so at stages in 24. Were Schache a young JVR / Jeffo type rookie i get it. Or a proven performer servant of the club like a Macca or BB. He doesn't fit either end of that and has had plenty of chances. He's hardly setting any sort of club land example playing average or worse games at Casey to the rookies around him imv. I'm sure he's a nice fella and the FD must have had a reason. Good luck to him. But would love to know what their reasoning was . Especially after the Fullarton news.

Schache is extremely fortunate to be still on the list. Perplexing decision by all within the FD.

Not saying he has to kick the average of 1 to 2 (1.5) every match Jnr. What i'm saying is if he isn't at least kicking a goal (minimum) in say 3 out of 5 then what else is he bringing to the table and that his second half last season was a long way off the level. Consistency is key at AFL level if we're going to keep up and/or edge ahead of the best clubs. Difficult posi to play i get it but there's always room for improvement and we can't have players going missing for large chunks of a season. Goody did say we need to be uncompromising yes? And part of his mantra at he end of 2020 was "ruthless". I assume that's still in the mix?

Disappointing second half aside from maybe one match where he hit the scoreboard. If he isn't averaging a goal or two most matches i'm not sure what weapons he's bringing and can't see how he holds his place on the list beyond 24. Laurie & AMV must also be on their last hoorah next season surely.

That reads a bit like the lyrics of the odd David Bowie top 40 hit. I believe he would often write parallel interchanging lyrics, which may have rhymed in places, but the topics from either verse had anything to do with the other. Lets hope all the boys are on the same page by the time we get to 24. H_T, any relation to yeh olde d'lander, High Tower?

I recal the Calippo but not the comet. A special once off for Haley's Comet?

Always wary of Maccas after a guy that used to own/run a nightshift business for their burger buns and frappa mix told me they used some sort of silica type powder as part of the mix (approx 10% in the buns or thereabouts if i recall correctly) and to never eat / drink those two products.

Ah now i get it. That's why he (allegedly) prefers the Swans (SCG dimensions).

Yes there is that 😄

Actually the fruit one may have been the slice now that you've mentioned.

Ughhh nooo! In their hey day there was no comparison imv. The ice cream in the pops was melt in the mouth stuff and weird favouring in the Barneys. I used to live on Choc Paddle Pops in Spring/Summer. Those and the Streets Frosty Fruits. At one point there were real pieces in them. According to Red though, the Pops have gone up the proverbial creek without their paddle now.

Bubs where were you during my entire childhood. I reckon i might have scored two or three grrr.

Yes and too inside biased other than Tracc. Although Clarry at his best is not top shabby exiting stoppages either. Just this season he was a bit off in this area imv. Hopefully we can land a pacey outside mid with skills to boot in this draft. Bring Kozzy in for a fair chunk of mid minutes as well. Possibly Rivers? The other aside to this is if Howes can come in at some point and have an impact off HB, then Rivers 'might' be capable of taking one of the wings. Or even Howes himself. He started his career at Casey here. As solid as Hunter is defensively, we are really lacking some attacking run, fast ball movement and deep and/or accurate kicks inside 50 off that wing. While plenty of room for improvement as he's about 50/50 atm, Howes also has the ability to hit short targets.

That is correct, perennial ducker / stager from the first match. The AFL allows this which doesn't help. One of Hotspur's players, Udogie, was red carded last night (yellow to red) against Luton for staging and they played a man down for the entire second half as a result. After 30 odd years of discussion and examples, we can't even come to grips with sin binning or red carding a Maytard thug act. He gets to play out the entire match AND come back the next week, plays in a Premiership, while his victim's team is a man short and a top 3 player down the following week. Laughable.

Golly i'm old enough to recall seeing these guys. Had two hits and i recall they sounded a bit ho hum / flat. Might have played the Manhattan or the Burvale. Either way i remember sticky carpets and i never wanted to go back haha. The glug was the best. Didn't mind the orange one either was that the Razz. If you didn't get gold writing (rarely) i seem to recall it was always red otherwise. Maybe black. And deaver what Sacrilege! Wait till it melted then down the hatch! Wasted on those Windsor fellas.
