I am a Dinosaur, I did manage to get connected, they had trouble with cameras at first? It was a bit of trivia carp I reckon I got the first answer in a split second but, my reflexes aren't as quick as 59 years ago. I think it could be fun but, it does need a bit of fine tuning. Keep it up Dees Pidcast boys.

You call Picket Fence a tool, then make this inane comment. Get hold of a mirror and have a good hard look at yourself.

He is our form player at the moment. Don't jump on the bandwagon just yet. He has had a role to play and has done it well.

Delistings/trades at end of the season
Barney Rubble replied to Northern Summer's topic in Melbourne Demons
The endeavour shown by the players for four quarters was good. The skill in trying to hand ball so many times without getting the ball out of the defensive 50 was the problem. So on today's effort most have a stay of execution. Perhaps pedo and pig dog are shaky. Michie is not living up to the hype everyone makes of him. Bail, will go. McKenzie gawn. Jamar on your way. Howe up for Trade. Matt jones bye bye. -
That tap from Gawn was the loser. It was tapped behind him almost like the saints called to him. Fro that time all over Red Rover.

MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 10
Barney Rubble replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
They still have currency. Another year and they are worth J. S. It's all but sown. Bail, M. Jones Howe Watts Grimes Jamar Fitzy Gawn C U later -
Dawes won't be playing. Coach says he needs another week off to get over the calf. M. Jones must go. Bail is useless. The two players that give us grunt in the middle Riley and Tyson should be back. The pies will have 2 rucks, so why not do something different and put in 2 rucks, but not as a defender. Put fitzy up forward, get them to defend the extra tall instead of us. I'd love to see F. witts try and defend against fitzy. Based on form from the red centre N. Jones is on the edge, but he will stay because he is the skipper. Newton is a chance and ANB should be given a chance Howe will stay because he may just pluck a mark or two this week. Watts should go to the snow so he can miss the QB nightmare, but who do you replace him with?
-
A lot of talk about players being fatigued. Looking spent when they come off and go to the bench. That's what I want to see more of. If they are spent they have definitely had a crack. Not like in the past when coming off they couldn't blow out a candle.

Coming back from a broken leg ain't easy. He also got further injuries which required a lot of rehab over the past pre season. As much as I liked his last quarter and his past few VFL games, I'd still like him to wear the vest this week. The injuries may mean otherwise. Matt Jones has been ruled out with concussion and the 6 day turn around. If Jetta is right he will go to the BP. Grimes, H. Or Garland will be called on for half back. We still need a hard in and under player to go in the centre to help out the BERG.

I always thought Lethal Leigh was a great player and quite obviously a good coach. But his comments during the game were bemusing. I must say I was at the game"but had to watch it again and again when I got home. Lethal said a few times that Hogan showed promise, but will never be a play maker, only a finisher. He wasn't watching the game I was at, What a [censored]! I have been censored. Since when does T&$sser need censoring?

Demonland Player of the Year - Round 8
Barney Rubble replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
6 Vandenberg 5 Hogan 4 Vince 3 spencil 2 N. Jones would have got more except for that 3rd quarter brain fade 1. J.Toumpas ditto above. -
Forget the PP. The bottom four clubs need a salary cap increase x 10% so they have the cash to buy players.
-
Nev will have to wear some sort of head protection or his confidence will be shot, the next time he gets a whack.
-
I wouldn't have him in my best 36.Based on form, he plays 4 serviceable games per year. That's 1 in 6. That doesn't read like any form I've heard of.
-
Everyone's carrying injuries.

We can't drop 18! Edit 3 words and a number!

Post Match Discussion, Pontification and Prayer
Barney Rubble replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Something has imploded in the inner sanctum of the club! The whole team didn't want to play today. The writing was on the ball at the warm up before the game. It was so lakadasical, they couldn't hit a target. They couldn't take marks, goal kicking was non existent. Was Hogan injured or just rested? Watts asked Roos to drop him as he was letting the club down. Something's up!!! -
We all thought it was the coup of the trade fortnight.See even us geniuses can be wrong sometimes.

READY FOR THE KILL - THE HAWTHORN GAME
Barney Rubble replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
I went through the match ups on paper. I hope the side that takes the ground at the first bounce is a lot different. Hale is now in replacing McEvoy. Who do they have minding their Ff line of Hale Roughead and Breust... Salem Dunn Garland The the HF line Smith Gunston Rioli We have Grimes Mc Donald Howe I don't see a match up anywhere. Then Dawes thinks they are gettable! You must be kidding!- 322 replies

Fix the Midfield and we'll rise very quickly!
Barney Rubble replied to PaulRB's topic in Melbourne Demons
The midfield disposal is atrocious. Jones, Tyson Viney rarely hit targets, or kick to a space to lead to. Cross has never been a great kick. Toumpas can't get the ball. Salem is best disposal and sitting in back pocket this week. Lumumba kicks all over the shop.Brayshaw needs to work a bit on his kicking. This is getting boring, it shows how many just can't kick under pressure. -
I don't think those words would have any affect on Clarkson or the players. Although Clarkson may use it against us in his pre match talk. Why do our guys open their big mouths. Talk is cheap.
