MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 11
McQueen replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
What part of my reply alludes to this match not being a 'must win?' Remind me who's being assumptive? -
MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 11
McQueen replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Of course you'd choose Dunn I that scenario but it's not the case. I don't disagree that he appears out of his depth and lacking strength in contests. My point is that the likes of Dunn and Garland have hardly set the world on fire this season. If anything, Garland can fall under the 'hindrance' category so far this season. Measuring the pay-off of persisting with Omac as opposed to playing Dunn now is going to be something we can do next year. In my opinion, the club will be better placed for next year by getting games into him now, as opposed to learning at VFL standard. Like I said earlier, this is mainly due to the dearth of decent young defenders on the list. -
I don't know about the rest of you but I've just done this in SC. Out: Ben Kennedy In: Jack Trengove At $156,000 it's freed up some cash and I reckon he'll score well.

MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 11
McQueen replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
In my experience, there's moments in all sorts of circumstances of strategy and culture development that need to be either tweaked or entirely shitcanned. We've moved into another phase of team development and I for one am confident the FD will be managing the evolution of our defensive game plan with the right players in mind. I'd love to play in finals this year but we all know it's unlikely. -

I can't understand the astonishment that surrounds Omac getting a string of games at AFL level. Dunn is obviously stronger and has a great deal more experience but he's on his last couple of years in the system. The same goes for Pedo, Grimes and possibly Garland the way he's tracking this season. The coaching staff can see the potential in Oscar, mostly on the training track and enough in the VFL to suggest that they're confident he can turn into a competent AFL standard player. What's the point of letting him become a dominant VFL level player when we've clearly got a deficiency in the backline and a dire need to blood some youngsters given the age of the aforementioned group of players. We are already vastly improved on last year and we are going to a better team again next year. If we don't get games into Oscar now, we're going to be caught behind his development trajectory and suffer next season. We seem to be hedging our bets on landing Hurley or another key back. What happens if that doesn't eventuate? -

Will be over for the QB game OD. Won't leave my young fella in the lurch for it - no matter how much I'd love to be there for it.

They should throw Hogan and Dawes back there as well.

MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 11
McQueen replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Hawks have got A graders on every line. For us to be a chance we're going to have to shutdown either Lewis or Mitchell in the guts and hope that Nev can curb Rioli a little. I'm expecting it to be an extremely physical game as we attempt to match the pressure around the contest with the Hawks. For this reason alone I reckon we'll see more experience brought into this weeks team. -

Probably more entrepreneurial and hopeful than crazy, Mandee. Sounds like something you'd pull after a sesh on the billy. -

Try doing 2 minute noodles in 1 minute. That's some pretty off the chain [censored] as well. -

I've acid tripped with a north eastern Congolese militia General and then proceeded to have a target shooting competition with an AK many years ago. Probably the most bizarre thing I've ever done. Does that classify as crazy? -

By qtr time? -
Spewing from a personal pov if it is this weekend. I've said from the start that I would travel anywhere to see his return but with my young blokes Auskick gala day this weekend which he's been looking forward to, I'll unfortunately have to switch priorities and make it over for the QB game. Will get just as much joy watching it on the Tele.

First two were open, next two clenched fist but gee I'd be amazed if he goes for them. Couple of taps that Ebert barely noticed.
