WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - BILLY STRETCH
spirit of norm smith replied to e25's topic in Melbourne Demons
Sign Billy Stretch ... he wants to play for MFC. Good enough for me. Remember Dylan Grimes. MFC Bailey missed him when he desparately wanted to play with his brother. And Alwyn Davey. MFC Bailey said he was too short. -
Must get a legit crumbing forward this free agency period
spirit of norm smith replied to What's topic in Melbourne Demons
Blease, or rookie pick Page from Casey. -
targets more likely are Jed Lamb (Swans), Luke Russell (Suns) or Cameron Sutcliffe (Freo). All good young quality mids on the fringe at their clubs.
-
Out - Jetta (susp), Viney (rest/quad), Clark (ankle). In- Strauss, Mackenzie, Kent. FB: Garland, Frawley, Terlich HB: Strauss, McDonald, Grimes C: Howe, McKenzie, Bail HF: Trengove, Pedersen, Tapscott FF: Gawn, Watts, Byrnes FOLL: Jamar, Sylvia, N. Jones INT: Davey, Evans, M. Jones SUB: Kent EMERG: Blease, Spencer (again), Rodan. Blease and Rodan to travel with squad Need to matchup on Rockliff, Black, Moloney, Rich, Redden in midfield. This is where they can beat us. Jones will be tagged by Andrew raines. We will need Trengove and Grimes must standup. Howe and Sylvia can win it for us. Watts forward - highly unlikely given Neeld has stuffed around with JW as a loose unaccountable HBF Who gets J Brown? T Macd Who gets Merrett? Frawley Who is accountable for Pearce Hanley's run from half back (he killed us in 2012) ...Matt Jones is my man.

The difference between a pick #4 & pick #48
spirit of norm smith replied to ashdemons22's topic in Melbourne Demons
Yes Jimmy T got a game when not quite ready. Give Dean Kent and Jimmy Toumpas at least 4-6 weeks in Casey to get tuned in. They will be good but don't rush them. -
Yes agree it was a good highlight. Sylvia has the talent, no question. His application is to improve. He would be a star in any of the top 8 teams. We must keep him. I would be really p*&ss$5ed off if he went out via Free Agency (free to the club who gets them).
-
Agreed. Jonesy was a key to lifting the boys today, Heart as big as Pharlap.

1. Liam Jurrah - mark of the year 2. Jeremy Howe - mark of the year 3. the hype - Jack Watts, Tom Scully, Mitch Clark 4. smashed Sydney Swans by 90 points at the MCG. (2 years later, they are premiers) 5. smashed the Bombers 6. Jack Viney on board

Nathan Jones Jack Viney Jesse Hogan Jimmy Toumpas Mitch Clark Jack Grimes Jack Trengove James Frawley Jeremy Howe Tom McDonald Colin Sylvia Chris Dawes Max Gawn Dean Kent Matt Jones Luke Tapscott Jack Watts Josh Tynan Sam Blease James Strauss Rory Taggert add a good coach, positive entertaining footy add 3-4 more young guns add some leadership

the worst of 2007-13 the passing of the late and great man Jimmy Stynes, and ... 1- "tanking" allegations 2- "danking" allegations 3- demise of Liam Jurrah ... superstar gone missing 4- defection of Tom Scully 5- thumping defeat by 186 points by Geelong 2011 6- insipid draftees - Cale Morton(4), Lucas Cook, Addam Maric, Jordan Gysberts (Jack Watts, James Strauss, Sam Blease on notice) 7- thumping defeat by 148 points by Essendon 2013 8- loss of Brent Moloney, Jared Rivers, Brock McLean (they knew we were shizzen) 9- sacking of loyal captain James McDonald (what the ...) 10- watching Scott Thompson become a superstar, Darren Jolly become a premier ruckman in the AFL, and Chris Judd (a boyhood Demon supporter) saying no way to MFC overtures.

time for a cleanout ... from the top
-
Hopefully he is the white knight ...

1. Dank has released texts and now MFC looks like liars and cheats 2. MFC lied in statement from 5-Feb. He had links and we denied any involvement. Poor choice. God thing Schwab has gone. Others must follow. 3. Dan Bates must be sacked. Poor choice and should have come clean post the Bombers conference. He should have said "Yes. MFC had used bt belived all approved". I run a business. Have a family. Make many many decisions. MFC are a shocking basketcase. I love footy. I love MFc. But they (the people at the club) are very disappointing. Dankers & Tankers. Bruise Free footy. Worse AFL Team ever. (I cannot argue right now). ((((

Frawley will stay ... he is a keeper. Wait until we can get a decent midfield - that would help rather than the defence being under seige
-
The hope: Terlich T Mcd Garland Tynan Frawley Grimes Toumpas Viney Josh Kelly (2013 draft) Sylvia Clark Howe Blease Hogan Watts Gawn Trengove N. Jones Int: Jordie Mckenzie, Kent, Strauss, Taggert. Depth Backs: Nicholson, Jetta, Pedersen Mids: Magner, Barry, Evans Fwds: Tapscott, Dawes Ruck: Jamar ??? Sellar, J Macd, Byrnes, Gillies, Davis, Davey, Bail, spencer, Dunn, XX Fitzpatrick, Rodan 2013 recruits - mid, mid, mid. (Josh Kelly is our target... best under 18 player since COTCHIN).

Changes this week backs: Terlich, Frawley, Garland, T Mcd, Pedersen, Jetta Mids: N Jones, M Jones, Viney, Grimes, Trengove Ruck: Jamar Fwds: Clark, Howe, Sylvia, Watts, Tapscott, Blease Int: Evans, Kent, Mackenzie Sub: Davey. Out: Byrnes, Toumpas, Bail, Sellar In: Mackenzie, Kent, Blease, Watts 1. Watts & Blease to play deep forward within 35 metres of goal. 2.

We need Jordie McK back. He is a big loss.

Frawley and Sylvia in unconfirmed nightclub dust up
spirit of norm smith replied to dazzledavey36's topic in Melbourne Demons

The enigmas: Watts and Sylvia
spirit of norm smith replied to NorwoodDemon's topic in Melbourne Demons
agree ... hard to know Col was only put in midfield in 3rd qtr (was frozen in haf fwd line for 1st two quarters) -
Our personnel is like shuffling deckchairs. Neeld has words but I would like to see TANGIBLE improvement or signs. "Tough Love". We need more than that. Neeld said "No idea. Didn't see it coming in round 1"... why ?? I saw them agst the Suns and we were lacklustre.
