spirit of norm smith

Most likely pace in the midfield comes from Stretch Hunt Baker Obviously an external target is on the cards.

Yes Max wants to preserve himself. It was a big year and Max was physically battered by the end. Preuss provides real relief, backup and support.

Yes kolofhgdjjkjki fills the half back quarterback role perfectly. Good news.

It’s hot and cold. Still better than 2017

Agree. Let’s get some more awards. The Robert Flower Award for the ... (loyalty award) The David Neitz Award for the ... (highest goal kicker)

Thompson , Farmer, Hogan. It shows how hard it is to keep interstate stars. The interstate clubs find it hard to keep Victorian kids. It happens every every year. Gibbs. Lever. Whoever it is. The media loves the go home factor. I have always backed in the draft Victorian kids for MFC. It looks like our current team will be heavy Vic based for the premiership drive.

Strange decision. Never really looked that good in under 18s. A speculative punt.

Bartlett is a little dry in tone. He just read out his comments. Boring is the word

Even if S$$$cully was on fire, I would not even ... on him

Yes Tyson has had chances but his turnovers outweigh his accumulation of the footy.

Salem, Weideman, Petracca ALL have big potential still to fulfill. You saw it in 2018 but I think these 3 can go up a level or two in 2019

Lewis? Surprised me the votes he got last year. Surprising if he is top 5 this year

The 10 positives from 2018 1/ Demons broke the 12-year finals drought. Finish 5th with 14 wins 2/ Demons win two finals. Beat the Cats and Hawks to finish 4th 3/ Brayshaw and Harmes improve to make our midfield one of the leagues best. Gus finishes 3rd in Brownlow 4/ highest scoring team in the AFL. Big scores and big wins. 5/ Two All Australians. Max Gawn has another standout year to be the premier ruckman. Clayton Oliver at 21yo shows he is now an A grade midfielder 6/ Tom McDonald has a great year as a key forward. 53 goals. 20 games 7/ Nev Jetta. Most courageous Demons player in the last 3 decades. Never gives up. 8/ Finally we beat the Kangas. The last hoodoo team. 9/ Six wins interstate. Two losses incl a loss v power when we dominated the game. 10/ the optimism and promise of a better 2019. The demon army is on the march. Our finals crowds of over 90000 showed our power.

If Hogan goes, we have the coin to offer Gaff. 6 years for $900000 a year !!!

115 pages wow

Top 10 now worth more interest to Demons fans if we get 1 or 2 with the probable Hogan deal heres some names 1- Sam Walsh 2- Jack Lukosius 3- Izak Rankine 4- Bailey Smith 5- Max King 6- Jack Bytel 7- Ben King 8- Conor Rozee 9- Riley Collier-Dawkins 10- Curtis Taylor

AVB has yet to show us his ability through injuries. It was hoped 2019 was going to be the year with a good preseason. His tackling and physical presence was going to be important.

2018 was a successful year. So who will win the 2018 B&F predictions please 1st Max Gawn 2nd Clayton Oliver 3rd Angus Brayshaw 4th Nev Jetta 5th James Harmes

Yes it does not impact us. My point was to make sure Jesse gets a good deal. He is leaving for family reasons but want him to get his right $$$. I think Hogan was about ready to take his game to a new level in 2019. We need to get 2 x 1st rounders (maybe even Freo 1st pick in 2018 draft and Freo future 1st pick in 2019 draft)

McCartin is expendable. Battle is 192cms and not a ruck fwd option. Marshall is still a question matk wait and see the Saints option they got McCartin wrong so it’s a lottery

Saints want Max King. 200cm forward and ruck.

Retired. Balic and Vince Delisted. King Pedersen Bugg Mckenna Filopovc (rookie) Potential trade out ?? Kent stkilda Hogan Freo Vandenburg swans thats 10 out?? potential trade ins. May. Preuss. kolodashnji Hoping for a miracle to get a Shiel Gaff or Kelly thats a busy period ahead

Whilst others like Lukosius Rankine King twins and Walsh, my best prospect is Bailey Smith. Vic metro MVP in 2018 captain Xavier College 1st XVIII captain Sandringham under 18s TAC Pace. Skilled. Tackles. Runs. Disposal efficiency 75%. Weakness is that he is more outside than inside. But he can win the footy. Reminds of a Trent Cotchin type. He can hit targets If MFC gets a top pick around 4 or 5, I hope we grab Bailey Smith

Why May??? We have two very good key backs and Lever is back in 2019 we need outside pace we need a Kelly Shiel or Gaff now one is gettable

Yes Hogan was a Melbourne player. Our messiah. Big key forward described as the next Wayne Carey. Injuries and the go home factor mean we may not see his best in red and blue. MFC NEEDS TO MAKE FREO PAY TOP DOLLAR BOTH IN CONTRACT $$$ PLUS TWO FIRST ROUND PICKS
