  1. The club has changed the game plan from Ultra Offensive to Ultra Defensive. That can work until they show signs of tiring then the Hawks & Tigers run all over you. They have done the Defensive part, but now don't do the offensive part. When in the last fortnight have you seen them switch play. They play down the line all the time. They scored last night when they clearly won the centre clearance and got the ball forward quickly. Nothing at all to do with on field leadership. It's the off field leadership that is the problem. Arguments going on with Brendan McCartney, now with Jack Viney. When this starts it festers.
  2. Decent queues at the various membership Marquees, so that should give a boost this week. SATY was there handing out scarfs to eligible members. Well done Saty!
  3. if that little fairy tap was worth $2500 reduced to $1500 What should Dusty get with all his don't argues?
  4. Barney Rubble replied to beelzebub's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    surely that is 40 x $371k +rookies
  5. Petracca and Hogan will rotate through the centre. We will beat the Roos T.Mac will be rewarded as the most accurate FF for 10 years. ANB will be an amazing High HF. his stamina will kill them. Clarry will dominate at the clearances We will make the finals.
  6. Daisycutter and I take homage that 170cm are midgets Paul Callery was only 165cm and he was seriously good for his height
  7. If you wish. Why not? Just about all of them lack substance
  8. Bloody Holidays. Being retired everyday is a holiday. This year the missus booked holidays in august / sept. To tour Ireland and see family in Scotland. I was spewing at first but didn't miss anything. She has now booked next years little jaunt Canada / Alaska. You guessed it Sept./ Oct. Just so she gets a chance to check the Northern Lights off the Bucket List. My No. 1 is to see another Melb. Premiership. I hope we win 2 in a row
  9. Worst forum ever. Close it down Mods. It gives nothing.
  10. Black shorts and white shorts are all you need!
  11. Well done Dees, Crows can take what was offered. Or risk getting nothing again. Take it or leave it you Morons.
  12. Lever is not worth a pick 10. If they throw in someone else who wants to leave then that is a possibility. Alternatively we offer a round 2 and some giveaway (watts)
  13. In your Opinion
  14. That may have included handballs. His disposal by foot was abyssmal.
  15. That is the one. The first quarter he butchered it. Turn over after turn over. I don't know where you got the 92% disposal efficiency, it certainly wasn't by foot. Did you go to the game or are you just reading the paper.
  16. Kent, Harry "O" Trenners, Garland, Kennedy, Bugg, Hullett, White, Vince and anyone who effing butchered the ball on Sat. Salem was a prime offender. Hunt was never on his man. His running off and then butchering the ball left his man open for a rebound. Who was meant to be doing the grunt work in the centre and stoppages. We lost most of them. That performance goes down as the worst for the year. I am glad we didn't make the finals. It would have been a waste of money going to Adelaide Oval to see them thrashed.
  17. To quote our COACH. We do not live in the past. Our players are making their present and future. THE PAST IS IRRELEVANT! End of Story. Here endeth the lesson.
  18. I was listening to SEN when it was announced one ex demon was absolutely wetting his pants with excitement. Theox. Of course I was almost doing the same but at my age you do that without any excitement.
  19. The way he is kicking he would be lucky to get $500k a year as a FF He would deserve the $700 as a CHF
  20. He is not a FF. He is a CHF Sam Weideman should be our FF
  21. His arms weren't pinned in the tackle. Therefore he was able to protect himself from impact with the ground if needed. He got up dusted himself off and played on no problems. So why the fuss.
  22. He looks like an early season Rising Star nominee.
  23. And Grimes gets a ninth life on the wing.
  24. Watts said. " who wants to play on the forward line with me." They both responded uproariously" Effin kiddin"
