All clubs have prime movers & if you lose a couple of those you are in strife as we found last season. One soldier out, one in doesn't really apply to these players. Unfortunately a lot of our football media & fans don't seem to get this. I think the media maybe do but like stirring up issues to keep relevance. The Brisbane injury list was often mentioned last year but it wasn't 2 of Neale, Andrews, Daniher & McCluggage. It wasn't even one of those. Cerra does add a lot to the mix but it's a huge risk...he could be a big win or he could end up being another Prestia. who hasn't had a good run at it for a few seasons now. An interesting watch...

The Legacy Series | Episode 3 | Noel McMahen
rjay replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
One of my fathers favourite players... -
For a player in contract it is still true. Can't see us caving on Kozzie if he wants out at the end of this season.
-
...a lot of water to go under the bridge here I would think. A contracted player. Will have 2 premierships at the end of season so the price would be high if he were to be leaving.

He didn't think it, he wondered it...a fine line.

AFLW 2024 Contracts and list details
rjay replied to red and blue forever's topic in AFLW Melbourne Demons
I thought he was looking good for his age... -
I think AFL players are encouraged to kick on their strong side. There are very few that kick well on and use both feet. I'm sure Fritsch would be handy on his non preferred side but it's not something I've really noticed.

Goody or the fan yelling out to give Jeffo a game?

The Legacy Series - Episode 1, Robert Flower
rjay replied to Adam The God's topic in Melbourne Demons
You can argue about who was the best etc...but surely Robbie was the most graceful player to ever pull on a footy boot. ...the phrase "poetry in motion" comes to mind.- 51 replies

...the AFL players that are not one sided would make a very short list.

Almost then realised it was 'Ethan'...

Maybe, maybe not. It's trotted out a lot to defend a young forward making his way in football. Unfortunately it can hold too long...think Weid, Cook, Watts etc. etc. Yes, it can take time for a KPF top be consistent at the top level but most that reach this point are playing senior football in the first year or two. Once it gets beyond this then it's less likely they will make it.

I didn't know that... It's no comfort that nearly every other club passed him over. Lets hope Jeffo comes good, but like you I'm not yet sold.

Fact or opinion 'dazz'?
-
I think Sarah Jones is much better...has humility and respect. An EFC supporter, she doesn't throw it in your face. I would be happy to see the end of the boys club.

"We aren't great at any phase of the game"
rjay replied to The Taciturn Demon's topic in Melbourne Demons
What you've just posted is quite simplistic and very much one dimensional...'Axis' is saying there are many shades of grey, far from one dimensional and I think his post makes sense. For a stat like kicking efficiency to be worthwhile it needs to factor the circumstances 'Axix' mentions. -
Stop stirring the pot 'bin'...
-
There's an old saying along the lines of "if you give them an inch they will take a mile"...I hope it never comes to this but can see it heading that way unfortunately.
-
From the small amount I've seen I can understand why.
-
Thanks 'bin'...I found that whole press conference entertaining. He really seems to enjoy poking fun at the pundits...what was his line about Carragher?, you can name him. Or the Roy Keane not being a good guy one. I really enjoy some of the stuff from Keane, Neville, Wright, Carragher and Scott on the overlap. Very entertaining but some of them struggle to get Ange.
-
Love Ang...he's very much his own man. The problem is the Brit pundits (and some of the Spurs stick in the mud fans) can't understand how an Aussie can come from out of nowhere and turn the competition on it's head with a different style of play. As he asked one of them the other night "was it entertaining?"...

I thin by the end of the season we might be hearing 'How did Lindsay get to pick 11', what a steal.- 149 replies

"We aren't great at any phase of the game"
rjay replied to The Taciturn Demon's topic in Melbourne Demons
Godwin's honesty is about a point in time, season 2024...last season where we finished 14th. Now 'BBP', you are a renowned glass half empty type but I doubt Goodwin sees us performing the same way in season 2025. If we get a clear run at it there is no reason for us not to finish top 4 and be in the running for another flag. -
Mindfulness is good, I'm a bit wary of guru's in this space though.
