  1. If they "lowballed" Jadyn surely it means they can't balance their books . Paying $600,000 for Grundy? Imagine the list carnage if they'd had to pay to keep Jackson. They were already stuck with Weideman for another year and no one else wanted him( unlike Hunt) Geez Loiuse..
  2. True that. However it doesn't mean ANB is not also in the" bottom 6" and is not as good as role players in the Premiers " bottom 6"
  3. I concede a little on Kossie but do you think the others had good seasons...cobber Were you the one that said early days in the finals that Geelong and Collingwood were crepe and the Dee's would walk right through them? Or are you just one of the duffers who can't see the difference between supporting and ignoring the obvious? ....cobber ...
  4. He still didn't take mark of the year,try as he may. A lot of room for improved and effected consistency . I concede I marked him hard...
  5. I hope Kozzie Spargo Sparrow and Rivers are a long long way from their peaks because they weren't much help this season

    Weideman had a good game in the 2018 finals BBB kicked 3 in last year's final so he's got about another 4 years to equal the time they have given Weideman to repeat the dose
  7. It's not post season it's post game and nothing changes. Listen to Scott,Flea or Horse,even Hardwick and Fagan..they actually engage with the question
  8. Nothing wrong with the defence if the forwards hs it in AND kick goals. Thete is only so much the defence can do before they are overruns should have won the Brownlow except in a fsir world Petty would have taken votes of him. Salem and Rivers below potential, add Bowie and there is a clear need for a bigger body. Otherwise it's ok
  9. I am pleased someone has noticed. They've been spending futures like they are not needed because they were banking on VFL input,aka the Cats , rather than it being a permanent 2nds team or a home to keep Weid game ready
  10. Maybe Trac could learn to kick as well. That's 20 or 30 goals a season while they find a KPF to replace Tom and BBB. Max is demonstrably better behind the play rather than regularly forward.
  11. I'll go.. Offer him a year in the 22 and a coaching gig in 2024. He's way way better than our bottom 6 regulars. Play him off the bench getting used to the new team plan( assuming thete is one of course) Geez give him Weids number
  12. That's another story..At years end, banged up and very badly managed managed we were probably 4th best; not far off on the scoreboard but still an insurmountable gap
  13. No ..5th ,playing like it was still AFL 2021

    Is there any reality at all in that comment? ps...this is a State based suburban football sporting competition. It's not Russia vs Ukraine....there are no traitors,none,nada,zilch .

    I should have been dropped for Weideman but no one else on the the list should have

    I don't much care if Trac is on 360 although he's not particularly interesting I don't much care if he does cheap advertising though I prefer not to publicly single out players over the team. What irks me is his spinning the ball as he runs in to miss shots at the goal. As best as I can tell none of the leading goal kickers do it and thus it maybe relevant
  17. Bleeding Hassa Man..I reckon I could have slotted that and I was only 14! BT would have gone crazy( laugh)
  18. Memory and last quarter jitters...I remember Gabelich 's wobbly run down the forward line being longer but I do remember 3 Dee's chasing him down...too late. Maybe that was why Norm was so angry at Crompton.. " WHO' S ON GABELICH!!!??:
  19. On behalf of Dicko ..I am insulted by your kicking observation( he got a bit of the ball too)[ smile] I remember John Lord as a bit of a duffer..I guess that was closer to his retirement and when I was a bit older. Bluey ripping off out of defence on the outer side brought back memories. Note to fans ..I wore number 6 on my jumper until I was about 15 then I stored it away to memory. If you are 30 + years old don't embarrass yourself
  20. All I remember is looking down on Gabelich running past me in the the Northern Stand and feeling sick and someone ( Crompton) putting the world back on its axis Also Dickos kicking, and I can recognise Bluey before the commentator calls him. Even worse goal kicking than today but no one seems to mind. Great names there and none of us knew the Tigers were about to invade our home ground......advantage
  21. It wasn't home and away but if May wasn't 3 votes against the Swans then Goodwins a great coach with flexible options Over the season the dee fence pretty much won the first 10 games and the votes should show that You'd think any half smart umpire would notice how they had to run back in the other direction every time the ball went towards the Demon defence Petty is to May what Trac was to Oliver
  22. IRW replied to fr_ap's post in a topic in Melbourne Demons
    No he didn't, you spuds accused him of that just before you started going on about" banged up" Demons over the last two weeks Oh and umpires and the AFL (laughing) To his credit the coach said they weren't banged up , but I reckon they were and he was just covering up for their season long selection mistakes The Cats WERE obviously flat..almost as if they were recovering from a debilitating illness. Pathetic...grow up
