  1. So now you think he should be judged on his past record. Hope your not planning a career in the law.
  2. Get a life. You sound like a total kiljoy.
  3. No way. He is a long long way from a debut. Definitely won't happen this year.
  4. Agree and he has been playing very well at Casey - deserves consecutive games.
  5. Absolute B/S. Rivers had a fair few possessions but made a number of blunders & got beaten by his opponent several times. He is not in very good form.
  6. Yep - this is now serious [censored]. May having a drunken go at players who missed the GF has the potential to split the group.
  7. That's it in a nutshell. When we bombed long we turned it over & this was 80% of our entries.
  8. Possibly the silliest suggestion I've ever read on Demonland. And I have seen plenty of absurd ones over the years.
  9. Cranky Franky replied to Demonland's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    Yep. Good reporter & had classic 70's mo.
  10. Yes definitely Greg Williams - lots of 40 possession games, deadly accuracy by hand & foot & a touch of mongrel 🤣🤣 I can't think of a player he reminds me less of. I wish him well but haven’t seen anything more than B minus in his efforts at Casey.
  11. Yep agree totally with this. Half the side played poorly & only about 4 players earnt their pay. Max & Jackson got pantsed, Lever turned it over repeatedly, Rivers was terrible, Brown was useless & ANB had a shocker, Dunstan was a wasted space but hey lets make it all about Weid.
  12. +1 👍
  13. Give up ! Not likely. I'll put it on the record that I reckon Baker has been treated harshly & deserves a run. If he doesn't get a go I predict he'll go elsewhere & make a decent career. If he doesn't I'll be happy to concede u were right & I was wrong.
  14. You sound a bit cranky there Nev. I stand by my comments. Baker is a specialist winger & super quick & should have been the obvious replacement. He got one game last year & was fair but got dropped the next week. ANB & Spargo were very poor week after week yet the selectors stuck with them.
  15. I fully agree but sadly Baker seems to be on the outer. Spargo, Harmes, Jordon & Sparrow were all given a number of consecutive games to get experience & confidence whereas Baker has received few opportunities. I hope he goes to another Club & makes a go of it.
  16. Good review & generally excellent recommendations. My only comment was that re The Board & Club operations I was less interested in diversity & more interested in the skills & competence of those involved.
  17. Sorry mate but you haven't got a clue. Its a tough competition & any side is capable of an upset on any given day. 10 wins straight this year & still you are having a sook.
  18. I was wrong & you are correct his arms are free. However absolutely reckless to pile drive him 6 inches into the ground. Arguably even more dangerous than a sling tackle. If its not illegal it should be.
  19. He pinned his arms & pile drove him into the ground. This is virtually the same as a sling tackle. If its not illegal it should be.
  20. Yes Melk was pretty ordinary. Thought Bedford & Dunstan were also pretty ordinary & failed to take their chances.
  21. That's pretty unfair. And its hardly bewildering as his form at Casey has been excellent playing on ball & fwd and he was solid when he filled in against Hawthorn. And I doubt they will drop him on 199 games.
  22. Because he's the obvious replacement & in good form. Harmes is predominantly a tagging on baller who can kick handy goals.
  23. I didn't say he was.
  24. Having watched Casey all year I'd have thought Dunstan was the obvious replacement with Melk a close second. I'm sure the 200 games came into the equation.
  25. Fair enough. However I'd rather be Grenada than a serial windbag who puts everyone to sleep by the 3rd paragraph. 😁
