Hawks racism allegations (merged thread)
Cranky Franky replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Sadly whenever the word "racism" is involved then fairness & common sense go out the window & the lynch mob turns up and there are many here on Demonland always ready with pitchforks & torches. -
Oops I didn't see that game so I stand corrected but gee he is skinny.
-
As I've said I watched Jefferson in 4 games & you would expect a high draft pick like him to show something at VFL level, not to star or dominate but the odd sign of future potential but all I've seen is Michael Newton or Lucas Cook so far.
-
I've seen 4 of Jefferson's games & for a high draft pick he's shown very little. Reminds me of Lucas Cook or a young Michael Newton both in build and ability.

With Hunter out maybe they could try Turner on a wing. He has decent pace & uses the ball well.
-
Yes its all pretty p!$$ poor from MFC. Casey are pretty much ignored. There should be dedicated regular update on what's happening at Casey. Its embarrassing that people get more information about Casey from Demonland than from MFC.

Hawks racism allegations (merged thread)
Cranky Franky replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Unfortunately whenever there is a hint of racism around things tend to amp up in a big way & sometimes fairness, evidence & rationality goes out the window. -
You are kidding - It was Hunter's best game for us.
-
Jordon's achilles was his excessive caution when he got posession, he often killed the team momentum. This year he has improved & has played pretty well but last week he was poor & has paid the price.
-
I doubt that. Ballard stayed down because he told the trainers that he had heard something crack so as a precaution they immobilised him & got the stretcher.

WELCOME TO DEMONLAND: DANIEL TURNER
Cranky Franky replied to Whispering_Jack's topic in Melbourne Demons
Agree the coaching match ups were dreadful. Casboult is one of the strongest marking players in the comp. Obvious match up was May. Thought Turner was ok & needs to be given 3-4 consecutive games. -
Yes I bought one. Have no idea what happened to it. Think we also got a small plastic copy of the tile.
-
Goodie has been adamant several times that players will not be selected unless they are 100% fit -lets hope the BT keeps to this & make the same mistakes they made in 2022.
-
I'm very surprised at the lack of criticism of the match day coaching which almost cost us the game. May was the obvious opponent for Casboult not a 1 game player giving away height & weight & Petty the obvious match for King. Really dumb coaching.
-
The correct answer is "sorry I got it wrong & Chol has been quite an effective forward for GC"
-
Does Kade make the grade, or will it be Chandlermonium
Cranky Franky replied to DeeSpencer's topic in Melbourne Demons
This just highlights what a stupid error our brains trust made last year ignoring a number of players killing it at Casey. We'll never know but it may have cost us a flag in 2022. -
I'd like to know why he had a brain fade & got sucked in by Buddy last year.
-
Nice work George. I recall being very surprised when Jamie Duursma stopped Kernahan from dominating all those years ago.
-
Never seen so much love for such an average plodder. Should have been dropped about the middle of last year.
-
Clearly a great clubman but as a player doesn’t inspire me & I would happily sacrifice him to keep better players. Rarely plays well when the team is struggling but always dominates after we get on top & are cruising.
-
Dunstan has a solid body of work going back to last year. I reckon he should get 2-3 games on the trot. Sparrow (along with ANB) seems to be a protected species. I like him but he is one of the " second stringers" that always goes missing when we play poorly.
-
BBB, TMac & Tommo all struggled & at times their fumbles were embarrassing. Given all 3 have struggled to hold down a spot in the last year or so you would think all 3 are at the crossroads.
-
He was somewhere between solid & good - nowhere near outstanding.
-
Yes and a real shame he wasn't given any opportunities by our BT in 21 & 22.
-
Don't think Wayne Gordon won a B&F. Baker certainly did.
