    Damien Barrett ([censored])

    Damien Barrett, often referred to as [censored], is a [censored] that began his career searching through sports people's garbage. On a few occasions he managed to stumble across some little nuggets of information that were deemed worthy of use in one of Australia's leading newspapers.

    From then on, his head - which resembles some sort of rotten onion, Elvis Costello and Ray Liotta's acne scars hybrid - grew to massive proportions. He thought his opinions on football mattered, and his giant purple head would spit forth wads of verbal diarrhoea that would splash upon unsuspecting readers and viewers making them repulsed and nauseous.

    He can often be found in gutters, rubbish bins, service station toilets and worst of all, the footy show.

    Love it but everyone playing with fire so slightly changed!

    I am actually a bit disappointed we have signed Cross, he wasn't getting a game at the Dogs last season, so there must be a reason.

    Yes we needed a bit more in the midfield, but a guy on the wrong side of 30, doesn't kick goals and is slowish, yes courageous, but has the game passed him by?

    We tried this last year with pretty mixed results. You get experience as a young guy by playing games, I hope he doesn't hold one of the young ones back by playing

    The other 3 signings, yes all for them, Vince is a proven goalkicker as well as a midfielder and the other two could be anything

    What you talking about Willis? He had a fantastic run of games towards the end of the season and was of the reasons they started winning games!

    AFL NATIONAL DRAFT - Pick 9

    in Melbourne Demons

    Posted

    my prediciton

    1 GWS - Tom Boyd

    2 GWS - Josh Kelly

    3 St. Kilda -Matt Scharenberg

    4 Western Bulldogs - Jack Billings

    5 Gold Coast - James Aish

    6 Collingwood - Nathan Freeman

    7 Brisbane - Kade Koldashnij

    9 North -Luke McDonald

    Would leave us to snap up whoever we prefer out of Crouch, Bontempelli, Sheed, Lennon and Salem. Or someone else....

    1 Boyd

    2 Scharenberg

    3 Kelly

    4 Billings

    5 Aish

    6 Bontempelli

    7 Lennon

    8 McDonald

    9 Freeman

    10 KK

    That sounds about it! Clubs have been talking and making mini deals. The only spanners in the worx are GC and BB

    AFL NATIONAL DRAFT - Pick 9

    in Melbourne Demons

    Posted

    1-Gws Boyd

    2-Gws Kelly

    3-saints Aish

    4- Dogs Scharenberg

    5- Suns Billings

    6- Eagles Sheed

    7-Lions Crouch

    8- Roos Mcdonald (f/son)

    9- Demons ...(in my preferred order) Freeman, Bontempelli, Lennon, Salem or Dunstan.

    Hard to argue with that selection

    There has been talk about Collingwood trading 11 and 31 for the Eagles pick 6 in the hope of recruiting Bontempelli

    I actually dont think this will happen as the Eagles may not risk losing the opportunity to get Sheed at 6 as being an inside mid like Crouch he might be gone before pick 11

    Unless they have a rough diamond somewhere around pick 31 i really doubt they will go for it

    Haven't WC already agreed to trade to Pies there pick 6?

    Nathan Freeman

    Knightmare has updated his draft and look who he has put us down for:

    #9 Melbourne (Via GWS Activated Compensation) - Nathan Freeman (VIC – Mid)Height: 181cm, Weight: 85kg, DOB: 16/06/1995

    Recruited from: Sandringham Dragons

    Style: Luke Shuey

    Player comparison:

    Range: 5-20

    Profile: Freeman is an absolute dynamite midfielder. He has that Patrick Dangerfield and Chris Judd type explosion inside the contest. He’s an above average contested ball winner. He’s a guy who has that rare combination of inside game and extreme explosiveness with his pace, agility and sidestep all as good as you’ll see. In addition to that explosiveness Freeman has a real hardness to him with the way he attacks the footy and contest. Also features of Freeman’s game are his ability to take grabs overhead and his 1v1 ability. He can push forward and hit the scoreboard in a big way particularly enjoying those finishes on the run streaming into goal or running to the 50 and going long for the goal. As well as this he’s also an excellent field kick to a target with the ability to hit his targets over a variety of distances knowing his limitations but also at the same time doing some big damage. In short this guy has all the tricks and other than Jack Martin is that only other midfielder I see as a genuine game changer. To improve Freeman needs to firstly find the footy more consistently, he can find 25 disposals one game and less than 10 the next. He can also continue to improve his hands in close and become more of an inside distributor by hand instead of just jamming into onto his boot in close, so he does need to be more aware of what is around him in traffic in those situations where he can’t just burst away. Additionally he also needs to add more of an outside game so that he can find more easy ball outside the contest to boost his disposal numbers.

    And knightmare is? Handy reading though Dee-licious. The "to improve" section especially is interesting!

    MELBOURNE TEAM FOR ROUND 1, 2014

    in Melbourne Demons

    Posted

    B: Colin Garland Tom Mcdonald Luke Tapscott

    HB: jack Grimes James Frawley Jimmy Toumpas

    C: Jack Watts Dom Tyson Viv Michie

    HF: Jesse Hogan Chris Dawes Nathan Freeman

    F: Jeremy Howe Mitch Clark Dean Kent

    FOL: Mark Jamar Bernie Vince Nathan Jones

    I/C: Jack Viney Jack Trengove Daniel Cross

    SUB: Sam Blease

    Assuming we draft Nathan Freeman at #9

    Much better looking team, particularly like the half back line and the half forward line,

    Think Viv Michie is going to prove to be a huge steal for us, as will Dom Tyson and Pick 9 for pick 2, watched alot of Tyson and personally rate him as a top 3 pick alone if he is able to stay fit.

    Only just saw that D26. Like the way you think!

    I NEVER bet, but.....

    My reaction wasn't (intentionally) one of contempt, I just reckon you've taken too much risk and I think you'll lose. We've added a lot to our midfield, but I also haven't forgotten how bad it was to begin with and I'll be amazed if these three players alone - two of which are largely unproven, are the difference between "worst season since Fitzroy 1996" and top 8.

    Feel the love Nasher! Those 3 alone maybe not but we also have the Roos factor. Roll on round 1!

    Just opened my membership renewal and there a Grand Final Guarantee option ROFL

    Like I will need that option in 2014.

    What are the chances of the MFC coming from the worst AFL team in one year to the one of the best the following year?

    They should have called this option the Pay Roos Salary and I would have donated the $80 in a heart beat.

    Just remember we finsihed last in 1999 and played off in the GF in 2000. And if not for dirty Long and Wallis and Cam Bruce missing out? ....Oh what could have been!
