The Jesse Hogan Panic Room - all contract talk here
spirit of norm smith replied to Grapeviney's topic in Melbourne Demons
Hogan must stand up this weekend ... -
out. o.mcd hunt harmes ins. dunn grimes kennedy If Roos is wanting to win, he will give the youngsters a break. O.mcd has been below AFL standard for 8 weeks. Harmes and Hunt were treading water on Saturday. They need a break after Darwin and Perth.

Who are the Dees chasing for 2017 and at what cost?
spirit of norm smith replied to junk's topic in Melbourne Demons
Swap MFC 3rd round Pick #46 to GWS for either: Jake Barrett. Barrett is tough, skilled, wins clearances, great tackler, only 20. Not able to crack Giants midfield due to talented group of Shiel, Greene, Hopper, Ward, Scully, Coniglio, Kelly, Griffen. Or James Stewart. 198cms. Versatile tall forward behind Cameron, Patton, Lobb. More tall forwards on Giants incoming group. Stewart is 22, from Sandringham and would be a very addition ruck, forward or tall back option. -
POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 18
spirit of norm smith replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Grabbed DEFEAT from the jaws of victory. Disappointing again. Young team... Fu$#off ... we had some many chances but didn't WANT TO WIN IT!! -
My 3 word player analysis V West Coast
spirit of norm smith replied to joeboy's topic in Melbourne Demons
Jetta - good game 6 t.mcd - good but crucial mistakes were costly 5 wagner - ok. turnovers costly.5 Frost - very good. pace and backed himself.8 o.mcd - not even close to AFL standard. Disposal a worry. Physically gets pushed aside.2 vince - skilled. big heart. got in but a few undisciplined free kicks. 6 M. Jones - good run. One of his better games. 7 Viney - the warrior. needs to learn to kick on his right foot. 6 Hunt - fading. conditions not suited. 4 Stretch - good run again. must use him more and go forward. 6 Kent - good. but I want him to develop so much more and kick 4-5 goals. 6 Watts - another strong game. Most improved award for 2016. (if any he had kivked the goal in the last quarter) 8 Petracca - yes. so much talent. 6 Garlett - took his opportunities. 5 Hogan - disappointing again. I expect more. Potential but not engaged.3 Harmes - in and out. 5. ANB - Needs another week.4 Dawes - marking time. 3 Gawn - another good game. Might sneak a Brownlow vote. Deliberate handball out in 4th was disappointing. Tyson - loves the conditions. Prolific and won the midfield. 8 N.Jones - best on ground. 9 Brayshaw - pass score 5. -
My 3 word player analysis V West Coast

Agree except for Tyson. Glad to see recognition for the mistakes from o.mcd and t.mcd. Best 6 were N Jones, Gawn, Frost, Kent, Watts and Tyson. -
How many wins will we end up with in 2016
spirit of norm smith replied to junk's topic in Melbourne Demons
9 wins likely now... 9-13 season. Though wins v Suns and Blues are not assured. I would love to beat the Power. They are so arrogant and Wines & Ebert ?needs to pull their heads in. Improvement but not translating into finals footy. Each year the push up the ladder gets harder. -
Tom McDonald (and Oscar) SIGNS.
spirit of norm smith replied to dazzledavey36's topic in Melbourne Demons
again YES YES YES -
Jarryd Lyons has had a very good 2016. Starred against us and very good role in Crows midfield rolling into half forward kicking goals when needed. Cant believe Demons did not push harder to get him.

t.mcd played his normal game. Good spoils and interception... BUT 3-4 CRUCIAL MISTAKES COSTING GOALS. o.mcd was uninspiring AGAIN. He has had 7 poor games in the last 8 weeks. Weak physically and skills not up to scratch. Hesitates too much. Time to restart his development at CASEY.

Good game today

spirit of norm smith replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
6 N.Jones 5 Gawn 4 Frost 3 Kent 2 Watts 1 Tyson -5 o.mcd ... thats negative 40. 8 poor games in 9 weeks. o.mcd is a LIABILITY (Dunn and Garland must be wondering about the fairness in selection). -

Hunt - starting to fade ... lucky to be kept in the side. If Salem was fit, Hunt would be omitted. -
Final Quarter Fadeouts
spirit of norm smith replied to spirit of norm smith's topic in Melbourne Demons
Very disappointing loss. Final quarter cost us. -
Final Quarter Fadeouts
spirit of norm smith replied to spirit of norm smith's topic in Melbourne Demons
90 more possessions and 30 more inside 50s ... poor loss to Eagles. Is it skill or fitness?? Inability to execute under pressure ... YES -
O'Meara rather than Prestia
-
Exactly. Many others on MFC list have worse disposal than Grimes... Lamumba, t.mcd, o.mcd, bugg, wagner. all miss key targets regularly but seem to get Roos' approval. Grimes will get another go.

Another ex captain crucified by the club !!

2016 AFL National Draft prospects: The next batch
spirit of norm smith replied to dee-luded's topic in Melbourne Demons
Remember this name... Brodie Romensky. 189cm utility midfielder. Starring for Western Jets. Very impressive v SA in under 18 champs. Recently 37 possession game for Jets and very efficient. Skills are AFL ready. Played school footy mostly in 2015 but starred this year for the Jets. Rated around 45-65 at start of the year but likely be around 25-30 in our range. -
CASEY SCORPIONS v SANDRINGHAM
