  1. The problem with Riley is he far to often goes for these charging rugby style tackles, yes they're going to hurt the opposition, but they don't prevent the player from getting rid of the footy as they're arms are not pinned.
  2. They've played in that many loses, I honestly couldn't see them practising to win.
  3. To be fair, while I don't disagree with the above statement, they would play majority of their game time in the midfield when they're in the VFL hence the high possession numbers. When they're called up to Melbourne side they're assigned specific roles, generally defensive forward roles and therefore don't get those numbers that people are expecting to translate from their VFL form.
  4. Everyone was praising Mission for our healthy list in the pre-season, only Petracca and Trengove were on it. Now we're blaming him for the injuries that our players are getting which every team gets. Before comparing our injury list with St Kilda's one, how about we compare our's to Brisbane or Gold Coasts! Demonland, where one day you're elite, 150 gamer, gun, saviour of the club and the next you're a list clogger, spud, not a part of the future.
  5. Whats the bet that Newton will be held from Casey as the non-playing emergency then returns to side next week and dropped the week after.
  6. In: Tom Dyson, ANB Out: M.Jones, vandenBerg
  7. To quote Paul Roos "Every player is tradeable". http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/paul-roos-says-every-melbourne-player-is-tradeable-as-the-demons-preseason-begins/story-fni5f91a-1227042594233
  8. Morton never blanketed his opponents with his running, Bail and Jones did. Move on.
  9. You can pretty much add the crows entire 97 team to that. Dawes needs to play a role, at the moment his role is at Casey. Do that well then maybe he can get a recall to the side, at the moment our balance is better with him out of the team.
  10. I could see Yarran at Hawthorn, I can also see Hawthorn coughing up a first rounder for him.
  11. Any danger of Frost's 4-6 week toe injury reducing at some stage?
  12. McKenzie, Dawes, Bail and a swap of later round picks sounds fair.
  13. Come on, in year 6 I shanked three kicks for three behinds, I know how Jeffy Garlo feels.
  14. Well it looks like we're going to be playing Port on the rebound, hopefully with inclusions of Viney and Jetta and who knows how that might turn out?
  15. Nick Maxwell "I think the Demons fans have a new cult hero, when Fitzgerald took a mark they were chanting Fitzy, Fitzy"
  16. I'm taking the "tackles" nickname away from McKenzie and applying it to Tackles Vandenberg
  17. I cant handle the last 30 mins, this is going to drive me nuts.
  18. That was shite by Bail, should have tapped that forward to Garlett
