  1. One would hope #10 net season and beyond goes to a special player and person who embodies everything Gus brought to the club and game day. If they have half the impact Gus had, we and they will be heading in the right direction
  2. Very well measured post. Today is about Gus as a MFC player and wishing him and his family well for the future
  3. Thanks for the memories and bleeding red and blue throughout your career Gus. A very small part of your life in the big scheme of things is done, time for you to enjoy a healthy life which I have no doubt will involve football in some capacity. Good luck to you and your family A Dee forever
  4. Prelim 96 Prelim 99 Premiers 00 Runners up 01 Not to mention half a dozen won the flag in 93 Not even close
  5. Exactly the stat indicates he won 5 clearances and kicked 2 goals like they were linked. Turn one way and drive with your legs before disposing. Absolutely no point in zigging and zagging only to dispose the footy in a manner which had minimal advantage. But if looks good to the eye that’s enough
  6. I just shake my head at comments such as the one you responded to, really poor against one of our own
  7. @Demonland I understand we’re behind in the West, however title of the thread says Wednesday February 8th 2024. My watch, computer and phone all saying Wednesday February 7th
  8. Bombers, Roos and Lions recruiters were in Perth last week conducting interviews with potential draft candidates for 2024.
  9. Just go out and play, forget outside noise and stay focused There will be peaks and troughs throughout, but trust the group around you and be team first in everything we do. If we stay fit, perform to our best and see improvement in our 20-50 game players we will be in contention
  10. There always that one person who brings logic to try and destroy a myth Away with you, do you not realise posters on here know otherwise. Unfortunately to many can’t see intricate changes in front of their eyes and wish to fabricate Chinese whispers as gospel
  11. Darcy hadn’t signed when they started chasing Jackson
  12. They have no big bodied mid as evident by their struggles in midfield last season without Mundy. Whilst Brayshaw and Serong are very good mids they ain’t the midfield bulls Mundy and a fit Fyfe are. They have no small forwards with an aging Walters along with losing Henry and Schulz. you have no idea what standard SVR is I doubt you have seen him play. They have taken him and Voss on board to train all summer along with Dan McKenzie as the players who they see as the best available talls who come a lot cheaper as back up because with Jackson, Darcy, Serong, Brayshaw all on big money and Amiss going to command big money throughout his career it ain’t happening
  13. Really, they have Jai Amiss long term who will be a gun and other holes to fill across the ground before getting tied up chasing JVR

    I expect moving forward their ruck forward combo is Flynn and Bailey Williams,. Midfield depth is what they will look to build on in their list build Yeo, Reddan, Shuey all to be replaced, Sheeds body isn’t great outside run in the old Gaff, Masten and Darling/Kennedy replacement to partner Oscar Allen all needed although I do like the potential in Jack Williams. don’t think English will be as big a target for them as he was in 2022 Could be wrong but just MO

    I’ll stand corrected on McEvoy but certainly a bit of a wasted pick for the Saints, traded him off for a pick in the teens and Shane Savage. However I think it backs up my point, and whilst drafting in hindsight is easy Saints could have taken Mumford who went as a rookie and any of the players left on the table in place of McEvoy, namely Dangerfield, Cyril Rioli, Robbie Tarrant, Alex Rance, Easton Wood, Scott Thompson (would have been handy in the 09/10 backline), Callan Ward or Cale Hooker

    Learn from other clubs over a sustained period and ourselves with Gawn and Jamar, none of Nankervis, Cameron, Pyke, Bliczavs, Jordan Roughead, Dean Cox, Jolly or McEvoy were high draft picks. Most are either late, rookie or cheap trade pick ups
  17. Only just back running after a full year out of footy, hopefully BVR gets some games under him this year
  18. Take emotion out of it and from a football perspective explain how it makes sense?
  19. I think the Village has a new id10t
  20. Thanks to all track watchers for the detailed reports
  21. Thanks for the training report PF, much appreciated
  22. How is it risky, across the ground you’re open to being involved in a collision by way of a deliberate bump, friendly fire or accidental contact. If you’re passed fit you go where best suited. We’re not talking a short time after incident
  23. Pennant St Dee replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Rivers, Nev Jetta, Stephen/Matthew Febey, Woewodin (was moved on), Petracca, Neale-Bullen and I could go on but basically we can throw anything in to provide an alternative view

    Every players height and weight gets done from development through seniors and done every season
  25. Pennant St Dee replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    It happens in the WAFL weekly footy Budget only the male listed players across all grades have their weight published the female players don’t it’s height only
