Yes a very interesting prospect. Outstanding athlete but not a natural footballer & lacking football nous. Needs a year or so at Casey but once he understands the game he could be special.
-
Have you & Dr D been smoking crack together? Rosman has been solid at Casey & done a couple of brilliant things but is a mile from a senior call up.

Exactly

The MRP is becoming a joke. It is incoherent and inconsistent. It needs to focus on behind the play sniping instead of trying to reinterpret umpiring decisions. The charging of Fritsch last week & now May demonstrate it has lost the plot. In both cases the umpires were on the spot and made the right decision - free against Fritsch no 50m penalty or report and with May it was play on. If the ump is on the spot & has adjudicated unless there are extenuating circumstances the MRP should just F Off.

May charged and fined for striking Buddy?
Cranky Franky replied to McQueen's topic in Melbourne Demons
Well you are a dunce then. Contact is made with the shoulder which is legal. Buddy is oiled up so then logically the bump slides higher. Play on nothing to see just like the umpire called. This smacks of petty payback because Fritsch got off & made them look stupid. We must appeal otherwise it stays on his record then next trivial offence he will cop a week. -

Thought Brayshaw & Fritter both had their worst ever games tonight. That's 2 poor games in a row for Brayshaw.

Meet new MFC President Kate Roffey interview
Cranky Franky replied to Supreme_Demon's topic in Melbourne Demons
Lets hope she is one of our better presidents. In my time I've seen a few duds, lots of average plodders and a few decent ones. -
Jeez don't like Harmes do you ? Actually last week he started off a bit rusty & tentative but finished the game pretty well & was one of Casey's better players.
-
Don't you care about consistency ? It seems if you are a high profile player like Ablett or Dangerfield you can get away with it.
-
I did watch closely and your comments have gone from reasonable to silly. He was serviceable & nowhere near our worse ' I'm playing him next week.
-
You are clueless. Ump was right on the spot. Didn't report him or pay 50m penalty. And he played the game out.
-
Yes there should be a Demonland Hall of Shame to honour those who have made the demonstrably ridiculous statements or predictions. Maybe we could vote 3, 2, 1 entry.
-
Okay he missed that tackle on Cunnington but seriously "massive" liability - I don't see it.
-
Well 15 disposals, 5 marks 4 tackles, 2 clearances and 315 metres gained is a fair afternoons work.
-
I'm putting this up because I thought Baker was allright today. Helped out in defence and attack yet lots of posters are calling for him to be dropped. He was better than a number of senior players. Has been in good form at Casey & should be rewarded with some consecutive games.
-
Am I the only one that thought Baker was ok today. I'd give him a block of 3 or 4 games.
-
You could just say "sorry, my mistake I got it wrong Pickett is a gun". And why do you pretend that the Kelly trade was for Tyson without mentioning Salem. Both trades are big wins for us.

Are the Dockers the worst ever team for trading?
Cranky Franky replied to Big Col's topic in Melbourne Demons
Whether you trade or recruit directly its still part of recruiting. We received pick 23(Bernie Vince) as compensation so you could argue that technically it was a trade. The point is Freo stuffed up again. -

Cranky Franky replied to Big Col's topic in Melbourne Demons
Yes Freo have been absolute shockers & probably cost themselves a flag. Their misses included Matty Lloyd, Scott Lucas, Jeff Farmer, Andrew Mcleod, Peter Bell. They also stuffed up with Croad, Sylvia, Bennell & Hogan. -
Would you take Jeremy Howe back?
Cranky Franky replied to Northern Summer's topic in Melbourne Demons
Well it can join the long list of MFC rewritten history along with the departures of Alves & Jolly and the Henry Coles & Shane Zantuck altercations. -

Cranky Franky replied to Northern Summer's topic in Melbourne Demons
Pushed - You have got to be kidding. You must be the only Demonlander believing that. Any evidence to back your claim ? -
Yes the 5 year deal for an average player who had 1 really good year was crazy. Collingwood showed what happens when you overpay players.
-
Agree - we badly needed some more run last year. Given the lockdown it was a very difficult year for marginal players trying to show their wares. Sadly for Dunkley it was also a bad year to get injured.
-
Completely different scenario. Dunkley was 18 or 19 and was worth a punt - it didn't work out. I've watched Mitch White in maybe 20 games at Casey & he is a good honest VFL standard battler.
