Welcome Back to Demonland Marty Hore
Cranky Franky replied to dazzledavey36's topic in Melbourne Demons
Yes and the reason was injury. That's why we let him go. Its actually a very smart list management decision. We need experienced players at Casey mentoring the kids & keeping the seconds team competitive. -

Thats a snide little put down for someone who averages 16 disposals & 5 marks when he played for us. -

Can't believe the negative nonsense written about Marty Hore by posters. He is a very handy signing. He has good skills & can fill in wing, or in defence & only injury prevented him becoming a permanent player last time round. He'll also be an ideal player at Casey. -
There's Tom McDonald & Tomlinson at a pinch. Last year we won a game with Weideman & Mitch Brown rucking.

So to summarise- you believe that if Max is injured the Club plans to play Trac & Joel Smith in the ruck ! Not sure on what basis you dreamed that up but it is patently adsurd. You may as well say that if May is injured there is a left field plan to replace him with Oliver. -

The whole tragedy thing is absurd. The "High draft pick ruined by going to a dysfunctional Club" melodrama is pure BS. Lots of good players get picked by struggling Clubs & still succeed. Jack had his problems but eventually became a good player for us. If he had come to 2017 pre season better prepared instead of unfit he would now be a 200 plus game premiership player. Where he ended up was entirely of his own making.

Some rewriting of history going on here by some posters. He actually got it together by 2016 & had become a really key player. Unfortunately he turned up for the 2017 pre season in poor shape & Goodie lost faith in him & his fate was sealed.

I actually have nothing to say.

I'm almost getting nostalgic for Colin Flaubert's long winded historical lectures on morality 😴

And you can't get away with Steven Clark on the half back flank. -

And provided us with an endless supply of moralising serial windbags 🤪

Robert was good & had a couple of great years for us. Was picked for the state side while he was with us.

Not by me. Outstanding footballer.

Why Melbourne Must Hire a Coach to Solve Their Forward Woes
Cranky Franky replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Stevie Johnson for me or maybe Jack Gunston. -
About time Casey gets a decent ruckman. Its cost them 1 or 2 premierships.
-
Every time there was a selection to be made Goodie & the BT took the conservative, stick to what has worked, option. There was a lack of boldness in our selections. Grundy & Woewodin should have played.

Hate to agree with someone referencing Tucker Carlson but spot on. Binmans post was total psychobabble, an impenetrable word salad worthy of the worst management speak. In any case a contract is a contract - both parties pay their money & take their chances. However I would be surprised if BBB plays next year.

Yes spot on looked really terrific early on but went backwards.

Classic Demonland hijack. Spargo v Picket has turned into Why did we let Hunt & Bedford leave 🤔.
-
Spargos first instinct is invariably to look to pass to someone in a better position and secondly to have a shot on goal whereas Kossies first instinct is to kick a goal and secondly to pass off. I love Kossie & he is such a great snap that I can usually forgive him but if he is to grow as a player & the forward line improve he needs to look to review this aspect of his game.

Shockingly poor article about an ex Demon Rookie
Cranky Franky replied to Satan's topic in Melbourne Demons
Stay strong Daniel and hang in there. You've shown great courage. Hopefully the AFL, MFC or Players Association will provide support. Good luck. -
