Demonland Player of the Year - Round 23
QED. about right in my recollection of the year. Big Max must win the B&F by a fair margin

Thanks Jeffy
Love Jeffy. But time to call it a day. Thanks for the memories.

2019 - Positives
Yes not even I can forgive Lyon for fumbling the run out. Or that gutless umpire for not giving Stokes out lbw.
-
Official Delistings?
Off - Lewis ( ret ) Maynard (ret) Keilty (delisted) Garlett (delisted) Walker will retire himself. Tim Smith unlikely to go on. Jkh and jWagner on thin melting ice. Spargo hard to see him having the tools to deliver at AFL level (harsh but reality) Stretch and Jsmith may seek trades medicals for Vdberg and kk. Lots of changes ahead. Probably 8-9 list changes.

Karl Amon
Agreed. Great kick. Wins the footy. Happy to make a 3 year offer.

2019 - Positives
10 positives 1- big Max Gawn is a superstar. Huge heart and despite others falling away, he had a fantastic year. Deserves All Australian. Will finish top 10 in the Brownlow in a team that won 5 games. Lots of 2 votes rather than 3 votes will reduce his finish though. 2- we found Hore, Lockhart and Petty. Each showed me they will be part of our future. 3- we are back at the top of the National Draft. Yes itโs a sign of bad times and weโve had enough, but we should get Ash or Young (Suns will be gifted 1-2 combo). Either Ash or Young are very good. Prefer Ash as he is tough and quick. 4- Sam Frost showed he can take on key forwards. His round 23 game v Brown showed his ability to shut down key forwards. His chase down of Petruccelle was also a highlight 5- Fritsch is a forward. Hopefully the last 7 weeks showed Goodwin not to put Fritta in the back pocket. His round 23 mark was my Dees mark of the year 6- Trac and Salem took a step up. Two highly rated 1st round picks. They are behind oliver and Brayshaw but showed their value. In a tough year, they can hold their head up. 7- Misson is gone ( Burgess has some serious fixing to do) 8- Lever and May played only a handful of games yet showed they will be very good and even better together to control the defence. Looking forward to 2020. 9- injuries killed us in 2019. It couldnโt be that worse in 2020 surely 10- footy showed the inflated egos that you need to work hard and it doesnโt just happen. YOU BECOME THE HUNTED. Lesson learned to all at MFC... I hope

The calumny of the AFL's priority pick policy
afl and gillon mclachlalan-ilovemyself-lan are absolute two faced liars. Suns have about 13 1st round picks on their list and that was a reason why the Dees got no priority in 2014 Anderson and Rowell bromance is to keep them at the Suns. Itโs not their doing but the world has gone mad !!! im angry

2019 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
Agree Ash is improving and has what we need. Speed!!!!
-
List changes who do we cut, trade or go after.
Swap our 2020 1st round to Freo for Langdon. They will have to bite. We need Langdon and our 2020 pick should be pick 18. Optimistic.

WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - ED LANGDON
Omg. Maybe add Omcd to Freo in the deal.

2019 All Australian 40 Squad
Ffs. Ablett ahead of Oliver. Ridiculous. Ablett has had ok year in the top team. Gawn is best 22 Probably on the bench alongside mids
-
Games played by Best 22 (acc to Fox)
Spargo . Best 22??? Ffs

Mark "Choco" Williams
Agree. He takes no $&(it off anyone. Single minded determination. Exactly what we need.

Review One player at a time
Oscar McDonald why why why drafted because heโs Toms brother Gifted games slow. Weak. Poor disposal Delist NOW
-
List changes who do we cut, trade or go after.

WELCOME TO DEMONLAND - ED LANGDON
Langdon is our number 1 target. Ironic as we could have selected Langdon ahead of Oscar McDonald. !?!?!?
-
Petracca on the Move?
Agree. Fractured is what we do best
-
Tom Cutler
Draft pick 73 gets it done. Only because Lions will want to free up some lust space. Cutler fits our needs. Fast. Gialkicker. Good size. Wing or half back. Good ball user. Only squeezed out by Lions new midfield.

Casey Demons - VFL Round 21
Tom Sparrow was available to play next week.

My 3 word end of year analysis
Joeboy is on the money. Great summary Has taken up my line that Spargo is just a schoolboy. Year 6 actually.
-
Demonland Player of the Year - Round 23
6006 Gawn - an absolute giant of a game 5 Frost - beat the Coleman medallist 4 -Fritsch why did Goody even think he should be played in the backline 3 Harmes Gives 100%+ 2 Viney A captains game 1 Stretch. Now can he stay injury free.
