"We aren't great at any phase of the game"
Cranky Franky replied to The Taciturn Demon's topic in Melbourne Demons
We have been playing static 60s style football for a while. Mark then go back & take your kick. May kicks out to his left to Max 99% of the time. -
I reckon your 2024 epitaph would be "IT WAS THE YEAR FROM HELL" .....but it was all the media's fault.

Spot on George. Sadly our members have a long history (back to the mid 60s) of failing to hold elected officials to account.

McAdams can start at Casey along with Browns, Lauries, Woewodins, Georges and Adamss 😁
-
The last few years against Collingwood have been so humiliating that I now refuse to go until something changes.
-
Goodwin is pretty clueless against the pies. They look like they know we will roll over. Its embarrassing.

Hate to be a pessimist but I can't see a 30 year old, who averages 11 games a year suddenly overcome his fitness & injury history & become a gun player.

Sorry Kev I admit to being pedantic. Anyhow your training reports are very much appreciated & very informative. -
PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 4th December 2024

Well McAdam has been here over 12 months & people keep calling him McAdams. Not sure why that is. Maybe it's the reason for his indifferent form. -
PRESEASON TRAINING: Wednesday 4th December 2024

Who trained better Kev, McAdams, Gawns, Olivers, Vineys or Billings ? -
Talent isn't the problem for Roy from what I've seen. Living in Melbourne & meeting the rigorous demands & pressures of being a professional footballer can be really tough particularly for people from small towns or communities.

It was Biffin - get it right -
Welcome to Demonland: Aidan Johnson
Cranky Franky replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Reminds me of when we overlooked Dylan Grimes to sign up Joel McDonald - Dean Bailey's worst recruiting move. -
Him & Scully were unanimously tipped to go 1 & 2. Doubt you can provide any evidence to the contrary.

2024 Player Reviews: #23 Shane McAdam
Cranky Franky replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
If he gets fit, learns to play for the team & stops trying to take 'hangers all the time he could still be an asset. We live in hope. -
2024 Player Reviews: #23 Shane McAdam
Cranky Franky replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
29 year old who has averaged 10 senior games a year over the last 5 seasons. Very talented but tends to do too much school yard "speccie" stuff. If he can learn to be a selfless team player he could be very handy. I hope he reads Demonland & it fires him up to prove us all wrong. -
A quizzical attempt to tempt Demonstone out of retirement
Cranky Franky replied to Witches Hat's topic in Melbourne Demons
I vote to keep Demonstone in retirement. -
Interesting. The first pageof the statement reports a $1.7m operating profit ??????

Angus Brayshaw Forced into Retirement
Cranky Franky replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
It quiet absurd that payouts in these circumstances have to be included in the salary cap. Illogical & makes no sense. -
Welcome to Demonland: Aidan Johnson
Cranky Franky replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Has a totally underwhelming CV. We already have Fullarton & Kentfield. Not sure what they were thinking. -
Decline in the number of Indigenous players in the AFL
Cranky Franky replied to whatwhat say what's topic in Melbourne Demons
Critical race theory debunked on Demonland. Now there's something I wasn't expecting ! -
Decline in the number of Indigenous players in the AFL
Cranky Franky replied to whatwhat say what's topic in Melbourne Demons
The AFL has always treated grass roots footy ie suburban, country & remote with contempt. -
We all love Max to bits but here's a tip. Don't play when you're injured or unwell. You are 32 not 25 any more. It's not helpful to the team or to your longevity.

Cranky Franky replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Playing players carrying injuries, ignoring good form at Casey, while promoting players not in good form and rushing in players without a run in the reserves are all Goodwin specialities from about 2022. -
