  1. Poor effort. 10 goal loss unless more heart. Goodwin has no idea. Players not really playing with direction or any piece of passion.
  2. How soft is Jkh and Anb. I was a fan but both are a long way off. Lewis deserves another year. Playing like he wants to go on. But probably will call it after next week. Melksham, Petracca, Gawn, Fritsch are our best.
  3. Why not compete over the boundary line. Hore Wagner Anb Dunkley all soft. = Riwbottim goal
  4. If we were a business. “We had a record profit and expected continued growth and profitability. Perhaps the biggest profit in 55 years. Unfortunately we lost a key employee and whilst we paid big $$ for a replacement it didn’t work out as their diligence in preparation for us wasn’t up to requirements. Another issue was scheduled leave for many of our key employees and some did not actually return until after their due date. When the employees did return, they were not at the same standard as last year. Also other employees also went on leave, one of the highest scheduled leave rates in the industry. It was decided to let some employees not return for the year at all so they could refresh for 2020. Our competition was prepared a lot more for us in 2019 and our products came up against tougher opposition. Despite winning in key market segments and product capability, it did not end up as bottom line sales that are the main point of our business. Our Managing Director extended his contract, but he seemed to only have one strategy which was better matched by competitors. A mid year management reshuffle was a strange move and appeared to confuse more than build confidence. Some of our key markets saw products sell but just as the product was going to be a success, it fell apart in the 4th quarter to make a loss. Our market position fell to rock bottom only above a Gold Coast based import export business which the Government will support to stay afloat. We will try to restore faith for our long list of faithful shareholders and customers and once again ask them to support us. We failed all our 2019 KPIs and made a record loss. Perhaps one of the largest profit to loss movements in company history. Our share price crashed and the sell off by industry investors and market commentators is extreme. But we think the core of our key employees and products that achieved the 2018 profits result, can be recovered. We look to bring in a few new products, including some fast paced lines and a few young graduates with good results as employees. In 2020 our products will be matched against products which were not strong performers in 2019, and we hope to better manage leave. Less unscheduled leave would also be a nice change. Keep the faith with Demons Holdings Pty Ltd in 2020. “
  5. Get Carey in over the summer WHATEVER IT COSTS. His footy brain is unquestionable and knows how to create a forward structure to (wait for it) KICK GOALS !!!!!
  6. Langdon for 2nd round 2019 and swap of 1st rounders in 2020 with Freo. Outside run on the wing GET HIM IN Schoenmakers 25yo who can be traded in for a 4th round pick 59-62 pick - 3rd tall or backup for Weid - Good Eye for the goals #2-3 Ash -18yo instantly walks into wing opposite Langdon ; big call needed if Rowell was available #39 Bergman - 18yo classy youngster from the Dragons Suits our need to get skilled footballers in # 75 - Brodie Newman 18yo super talent doesn’t get all the recognition like an Easton Wood type Competitive skilled wins the footy 192cm Allows Salem into a roll in mid if needed # 77- will Fordham 23yo (Frankston VFL) classy skilled midfielder who runs and accumulates OR Matthew Allen - eagles listed but stars everyweek in wafl (wasted) upgrade to the list. Dunkley. Lockhart. CWagner Gone. 9) Lewis Spargo Keilty T Smith Jkh Maynard Garlett Walker Jwags medicals avberg Jsmith kkolodahjjjjjjji
  7. It’s Anderson definitely #1 Rowell or Ash at #2. Serong is ok but adds nothing to our desperate needs. Outside run and delivery of the footy. Ash fits the mould we need.
  8. I am a fan of Zak Jones. Not just aggression but pace and delivery. Exactly what we lack.
  9. Demons supporter as a boy. Off to the Hawks for likely 3rd round pick 42-45 selection.
  10. Brad Hill is saints or Dockers in 2020. Likely onboard with the Saints. Adds even more pace and class to push Saints into finals contender.
  11. Langdon is our only trade hope. Through him the 4-year deal imo.
  12. Offer a two year deal. We have similar types. Big on potential. Low on injury freedom
  13. Lots of familiar names in the Dolphins squad. 7 ex Casey players. With all the injuries it’s a 50/50 game. Dolphins fancy themselves to get an end of year win against the Casey B team.
  14. I hardly even noticed Chandler in the 4 games that I watched at Casey. Some VFL players definitely streets ahead. Good luck to KC but it is a charity game no doubt. Averages 6 possessions and 0.5 goals for Casey. That’s not even worth a game at Casey.
  15. Ffs. Spargo couldn’t get a kick at a donkey farm. Really. Chandler averages 6 kicks and 0.5 goals a game at VFL Level. I had both as DELISTED at year end. Worst side since 2014. Sydney May be bad but we have put up the WHITE FLAG. DISGRACEFUL. I will watch on TV but NOT GOING TO THE GAME.
  16. That’s a tank. Swans by 5 goals.
  17. The tank is on. !?!?!?!? Ffs
  18. Wow. The kid averages 6 kicks a game and less than one goal average. I saw him play in 3-4 games and whilst he was enthusiastic, I thought he was 2 years away from being ready. Maybe a gift for a keen young man. Still if the ball bounces his way, he might surprise !
  19. Extend Frostys contract to 2023 imo.
  20. We can all see it is how we transition the footy. Our skills by hand and by foot are Poor. Very poor.
  21. Brisbane Lions. Tom Joyce. 1st year draftee. James Madden. 1st year rookie listed. Ridiculous. They have a FULL LIST of 42 available players. No injury concerns.
  22. How do we get Langdon to the Dees? MFC 2nd round pick and MFC/Freo swap of 1st round picks in 2020. Worth the gamble !?!???
  23. Last year we won the contested footy. This year teams have improved and now win the footy. We are exposed. Goodwin had no plan B.
