If you like them so much show some respect & spell their names correctly - Its Ray Biffin not Biffen and Rhino Richards not Richardson

2020 Player Reviews: #28 Oscar McDonald
Cranky Franky replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Why - are you going to tell us that only people who have played at are serious level are qualified to comment about football ? -
My 2 favourite Oscar moments. 1 - gets shunted aside by Jack Stevens in the goal square who goes on to kick the sealer. 2. Darwin v Crows. Marks the ball at half back, no Crows within 80 metres of him.He just stands there clueless until nearby Dees supporters start screaming at him to run. After what seems like an eternity a light bulb comes on & he runs off & kicks it.

Plays well when we have an easy win but is usually missing at other times -

Covid has had an enormous impact on young developing players outside the best 22. It has hindered their development badly & they have had little or no opprtunity To develop or show their wares. -

"The most important player we have." This is arguably the silliest comment ever posted in Demonland. -

Only had to behave himself for another 24 hours & he would have been fine. -
2020 Player Reviews: #20 Adam Tomlinson
Cranky Franky replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Very average player IMO just like he was at GWS. His recruitment makes me seriously wonder if our Brains Trust has any idea or is totally clueless. -
Only if he turned up fit. Clearly carrying excess weight & lacked fitness this year.
-
Definitely a yes from me. Would of been well coached & developed at Geelong & has a bit of X factor. Won't cost much. Go for it.
-
A pox on Geelong. Hope they go the same way as the Crows after their 2017 Grand Final.
-
Goal kicking, quality small forwards seem to be popping up everywhere in trade talk, Fantasia, Jack Lonie, 2 x Higgins. We lack such players so I hope we make a decent offer & land one of these.

Agree. Needs to improve his disposal which can be sloppy. Also slips over too often. -

Mr Beige Lacked aggression, not particularly quick, average kick, average mark. -
Free agency - the rich (clubs) get richer
Cranky Franky replied to Hampton 22's topic in Melbourne Demons
Completely disagree. There is no such thing as unrestricted right to pick your employer in the AFL. The draft & salary cap are there to try & make a more level playing field. Free agency has helped Hawks, Cats & Tigers to top up their lists. Makes good sense to bar preliminary finalists from free agency. Ma -
Exactly - an A grade spud. He got awards as St Kilda & Freo's finals player 'cause Lyon was in love with him. Supporters at both clubs hated him. Turnover merchant with no skills. Clarkson delisted him at Hawthorn quick smart. Saints would have won a couple of flags if they'd have had a quality defender in place of Dawson.
-
Dreadful decision by the Club to let him go. So many of our better players from the mid sixties to mid seventies were let go or left for greener pastures - Dillon, Parke, Brewer, Kenneally, Callery, Groom, Keenan, Fitzsimmons, Thorne
-
You really are a clueless nincompoop.
-
I'm disappointed that you had to add the annoying post modern "to be honest". Are we to assume that your usual comments are dishonest ?
-
May well we gloat but chances are that they will bottom out then rebuild & win another flag before we do.
-
Not sure whether you are actually dumb or just pretending to be dumb so I will keep it simple. Letting Frost go & keeping Oscar (& recruiting Tomlinson) did not improve our list & cost more $. The reason our team improved in 2020 was less injuries, key players improving & some clever draft picks.
-
Barely played this year & missed a lot of games last year. Sign him up !
-
Great words fellers. One of the great tragedies is that some of the magic he wove on the field was never recorded because not all games were on TV back then. I recall some incredible weaves & runs in the late 70's but alas no cameras were at the ground.
-
You are (almost) on your own on this one. Mitch Brown showed in the last round he is a mile ahead of Oscar as a cheap defensive back up for a year or 2.
-
We went forwards this year because we had fewer injuries, because May & Trac stepped up & our recruits did well
