spirit of norm smith

I’ll wait until late November post all the trade and draft process is fully completed.

MELBOURNE premiership player James Jordon has informed the Demons he will be exploring his free agency options. Melbourne has been keen to retain him but he is set to look at the opportunities for more cemented roles having been either the starting or finishing substitute in eight of his 18 games this year. The hard-running wingman has played 65 games for the Demons, including 25 in their premiership campaign two years ago when he was the medical substitute for their three finals, including the Grand Final win over the Western Bulldogs.

We are any easy target. All the mob of morons are lining up Jon Ralph Damien Barrett Matthew Lloyd Caroline Wilson Kane Cornes and now the beachball Campbell Brown Time to show the backbone throughout ‘24.

Leaving Dees so far are Hibbo, D.Smith. Dunstan. Jordon.

Are you going to ask for the return of the Preuss 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Well said

Least worst of the premiership contenders list

Just not to be. Thanks and best wishes. Whilst he didn’t get chances at MFC, he was key in Casey 22 success.

Depends on Dees appetite to accumulate picks and points this year to trade up.

Sub, sub, sub , dropped , in, sub 25 minutes , in, dropped … rinse and repeat Of course he should have got minutes at the end of the 21 GF.

@DeeSpencer@ChaserJ Charlie Edwards had another good game in preliminary final. Looks like he’d fit into the Dees midfield like a glove. He might be the Demonlanders one to watch in this years draft.

Darkness before the Dawn Players need to stop drinking their own bath water and get the eye of the tiger approach again. I feel like some in the team climbed the mountain and then started the descent.

I’m chips in for JVR Jefferson is a wait and see imv. Some good signs but not enough. Too early. He’s better than Lucas Cook but might trend into a Weideman type (bloke you wish your daughter marries but wouldn’t crash through a pack to grab the footy at all costs).

Toby Bedford 2022 James Jordon 2023 If you drop them in a flash or play them as a sub over and over and over again, eventually they say enough and leave. Dees cannot say they wanted to retain him after treating him poorly. Another player Goodwin just didn’t favour at all. Good luck to him.

Elite ball users. Mckercher Sanders Wilson. There’s 3 in the top 10 available draftees. Hopefully Sanders is available.

he’s back!!! I’m a No to Ben King

Hawkins will not leave the cattery ever Riewoldt has a new role with the Tasmania franchise I agree with the consideration of a new voice on or off field. A true forward who knows the craft. I would think Stafford should likely be in a new role next year either at the Dees or elsewhere.

Charlie Edwards and Ryley Sanders again starred for Sandringham. Two to definitely watch on Grand Final day. Can’t believe AFL will even consider Sanders as a NGA gift to Kangas. Rules change like the winds in AFL house.

He’s a goal kicker. That alone means he’s in my best 22 !!

Spargo might himself request a fresh start

I’m still angry and watching the afl and other social media makes it hurt more analysts picking apart our loss like we are the only club that make mistakes both sides made plenty of mistakes but we lost so the muppets pick on every little error (and of course the big errors !!!!)

Finals V Pies - 21 ifs and we win v Blues - 33 ifs and we win both were horrible losses but if (insert any one of so so many events) happens, we win

He was good in patches and like his delivery. Was borderline to stay on and it’s a tough call in the youngster. He should try to stay in the system and might get another crack.

Thanks. Now they just to play him next year on merit.

Agree. DD36. He has good skills and poise. Just need the footy department and coach to show more faith and support. He allows Lever to be a 3rd tall and intercept defender which makes us look better each week. Ps. Still cannot believe umps got conned by the DeKoning swan dive in the first quarter!?!?! Matthew Lloyd would be proud of that fake.
