Demon Dynasty

Also...a great opportunity missed to manage Viney for the Eagles and send a huge message to all in the group that we are back on track and it's now going to be much harder to break into the team if you're omitted (for whatever reason!). Solid follow up performance against GCS needed from the 22 as well with Viney pushing up.

Only one for me DV and that's the first one you listed. Would have been better keeping a winning (better balanced inside/outside) team and resting/managing Viney for another week to bring him closer to speed to play the Weagles. I assume they're doing this (managed) with Pruess for the same reason.

5 score involvements and 3 of those 8 tackles were inside 50. One of our best pressure / tacklers inside 50 also in general. Can only think the low effective disposals went against but he was super clean running above AFL average at 75% DE for his 9 effectives and a cheeky snap goal front & square. Statistically his best game for the year running at 19.5% above his 2018 average output. He only had 4 matches last season where he scored better and i had him ranked 6th in weighted composites vs the rest of the team last week. Statistically our best team result for the year also. Personally could not fault his game myself. Extremely stiff. Hope it doesn't throw our inside/outside balance out of wack which IMHO nibbler was a key part of correcting substantially last week.

It's the first time in a long time the Hawks have played US into some form. No wonder poor old Clarko is [censored]!

I did many years ago Cam and you were very accommodating...but that was during your first stint! Let's just say i wasn't as thrilled with the white board follow up!

Yes I figured it wld be different to that smarter MFC one up there but cldnt find one on the net DV ??

Didn't think i would ever see that number linked with the MFC. Top effort by all. Volunteers especially. Need a tad more luck with injuries but if so we are finals bound.

This one DV?

And apologies OD i seriously only just saw that ?

Any ideas SW? Wait for the Hawks to vacate Waverley and refurb in 2022? Casey development? Need funding help for either etc. Continue with the present mish mash and no genuine club/home?

With so many betting houses out there someone just might take me on OD

Quick witted poster redundancy issue... Redacted!

It's a non-public stat that we rarely get a look at but wouldn't go that far. Interesting nonetheless. And i'll give you one guess as to who's in the top 10 for the Mighty Demons!!. From a team perspective not so good here. Work to be done but i suspect we will improve as we get players back and existing ones starting to come into some form, which commenced against the Hawks (for some) on Saturday...

Hoping for the best...preparing for zilch

It would be nice to see in our lifetime OD. In the 48 years ive been following/supporting i've never seen or heard even a mention from any official at the MFC that the concept has even been discussed. D'land may well be the only forum it has ever been mentioned as a concept. To quote your earlier post... there's always next year i guess.

At the end of the day Buck the system is more 'compromised' than broken as such. The AFL wish to protect their major assets as best they can and see them out on the park wherever possible, getting the turnstiles clicking and keeping their ratings on the up and up. There is a system that's for sure, but as for it being run as a truly independent/fair one? Highly unlikely and i doubt it has ever been such. Very subtely managed and massaged to produce said outcomes regardless of gradings on force, intent etc. Outcomes by the MRO, Michael Christian are effectively not independent anyway as they are determined in conjunction with the AFL General Manager- Football Operations and can then of.course be appealed and overturned at the tribunal. Those reported can also be sent directly to the tribunal by the MRO if deemed fit, and again i assume the AFL GM is involved here. And their record on upholding original determinations on the big names of late?? (courtesy of the West Australian). And low and behold the losers aren't big names and if they are...we are talking only a fine. Surprise surprise. AFL 2019 TRIBUNAL WINNERS Shane Mumford (GWS, striking) - One-game ban reduced to $3000 fine Mason Cox (Collingwood, rough conduct) - One-game ban and charge thrown out Dustin Martin (Richmond, striking) - Two games down to one Taylin Duman (Fremantle, striking) - Two games down to one Gary Ablett (Geelong, striking) - One game down to $2000 fine AFL 2019 TRIBUNAL LOSERS Jack Riewoldt (Richmond, misconduct) - $1000 fine increased to $1500 Luke McDonald (North Melbourne, rough conduct) - One-game ban upheld Steven May (Melbourne, rough conduct) - One-game ban upheld Taylor Walker (Adelaide, rough conduct) - $3000 fine upheld.

Interesting DS. I took the Casey dimensions straight off the Casey fields google info. If the Gosch's dimensions you quoted are accurate i'm wondering why we are training there at all? Might also 'partly' explain why we haven't done very well at the G but tend to do better on the skinnier grounds like Marvel, the GABBA and Metricon.

My understanding was that Gosch's was approx the same size as the G? That would seem a good fit to train and utilise / defend on similar space to the G if that is correct surely. Casey very similar as well... Casey 175m x 145m MCG 173.6m x 148.4m Metricon 161m x 134m

A favourite part of Australia for me enjoy EO. Ty for the pic but I still can't see Kade....just 3 skinny sticks...oh hang on wait...yes i see him now!

I know you are very controversial at times OD but I never took you as being so provocative it would result in BB getting banned!!

Sorry EO can you point out where Kade is in that photo? All i can see are 3 posts and a yellow footy flying through mid air!

The HUN reporting the players had a small celebration after the match with family and they downed a few beers. I wonder, would May have been better off claiming he was simply belatedly celebrating the win also? I guess we are well in to the merry month of May! Bottoms up folks...

Still recovering from the win Ox!!?

The charge was never meant to stick. Simply a warning shot across the bows of one of the superstars. Was always going to be dropped IMO. No surprise at all.

Of course.... A dog act is a dog act regardless of how you dress it.
