    Pretty impressive game from Moniz after the first quarter.

    He's always been handy at ground level.  Even in the air, he competes well against taller opponents.

    Recovers quickly and pressures / tackles well.

    Provides a solid option on the rebound and chains well.

    Where he lets himself down is his clangers by foot though.  Particularly through the middle.  Some of them are horror jobs under not alot of pressure and at AFL level the oppo will generally punish on the scoreboard if you turnover in that part of the ground. 

    He's doing alot right but i reckon the FD would want to see him clean that side up first.  Too risky otherwise.

    He is also being played as a small rebound defender so who is he replacing?  We have Bowey about to come back.  Surely he gets the nod and is well ahead of Moniz preference wise given his prior cred?

    Personally if Hunter is playing at Casey i'd rather see him play the Moniz role at times.

    Give Moniz some reasonable minutes at CBs and stoppages and see how he goes.  Pushing forward sometimes as well.  Wasted down back and unlikely to get a call up while playing this role at Casey.

    Moniz is also a pretty good crumber / goal sneak.  At least when played up forward anyway.  Looks like the FD has other plans though.

    Andy came from Darwin as a B class rookie, so has not had the junior grounding as the rest of the players.

    His main sport was rugby with AFL on the side, hence the excellent tackling technique.

    Unfortunately he has had a couple of injuries that have hampered his progress.

    Just needs a clean run, would not be surprised to see him given a run in the midfield to round out his experience.

    Versatility is the key in medium size players these days.

    I understand Moniz has probably been asked to learn some defensive aspects of the game but surely he should be up forward most of the time?

    Where else are the goals coming from at ground level on a regular basis?

    He knows how to be a 'small' forward, Goodwin believes in versatility, players able to play more than one position.

    As for the injuries, he is still growing and his body complains now and again.

    Both my In’s are skilled footballers, We got dudded losing Weed for Sashy,

    Van Rooyen is trying to play like the Texan and Tomahawk, but he’s way to small,  got nothing else, I just can’t see it.

    Joel is a champ, talk to anyone down at the club.

    Tomlinson has been selected so lets all just get on board and support and encourage him.

    This negativity is getting tiresome.

    You have only just realised this about Demonland, hence why I only skim through these days.

    Saty in a training thread....as rare as a Mr snuffleupagus appearance in Sesame Street!! 

    Don't be a stranger! 

    There was another reason, a sponsors function afterwards, entertained whilst hill running was taking place by that well known stand up comedian   Choco

    Rivers in the midfield is not the only difference during a game we may see.

    Our main midfield group, Petracca, Oliver, Viney need a chop out more during games.

    The game will be even faster this year.

    Noting we already have another big bodied midfielder in Grundy, who looked in great nick yesterday.

    Hi guys -  I’ve just upgraded our Family Membership to Trident, after being on the waitlist. I notice that the package includes things like access to function rooms where players are interviewed before the game. Could any existing Trident member let me know what the process is for this - ie do you need to reserve a table? Thanks!

    If you get there at gates opening, run up the stairs, you will still be lucky to get a table    how they do it     I don't know😀😃

    The difference with young players at MFC is there is no need to rush.these days

    Earn your spot and try and keep it, Bowey being the perfect example of trying to keep it

    JVR will have all the incumbent medium and tall forwards looking over their shoulder, a good thing for the team

    Nice Instagram post of a fit Tommy Mc running around his local track at Edenhope

    On other young players my tip is keep an eye on both Taj W, who improved week to week and Blake Howes, was close before injury.

    If everyone stays fit, we finally have cover all across the ground

    The club clearly has big plans/hopes pinned on this kid.

    His development over summer and, hopefully, his debut next year will be fascinating to observe. I hope he's as good as many on this forum have claimed.

    Not claimed, observed, he  has all the attributes, including a nice dose of aggression, pleasing thing is he hasn't been rushed

    As a matter of interest, do we know how many players (and who) have had post-season surgery? Similarly, who is going to have an enforced delayed start as they recover? 

    As far as I can ascertain, there wasn't anything major, Tommy Mc had the bits of metal that were holding his foot together removed and kept them.

    Everybody else are posting pics of holiday and off season work

    No Motörhead as I was listing Black metal bands only and Motörhead are far from Black metal 😬

    Ill check them out. Not heard them but always happy to try.

    It was an addition to your supplementary list, alongside the pop metal of Def Leppard, you can add Blackshine and  Rammstein as well     who are a bit of an inflammatory inclusion  (in joke alert)

    Ah @Gorgoroth   used Satyricon as one of my favourite metal bands   but also a play on words with Demonland

    But no High on Fire or Motorhead tsk tsk

    If you like a bit of organ based metal, not a euphemism, try Atomic Rooster

    Was going to use Twaddle and Guff as an homage to some of the output on Public forums, but a bit too obvious

    And Simon says for a few days Demonland will have different topics full of guff and twaddle, all saying the same thing but in a myriad of different ways.

    We lost for any number of reasons, it happens because it is a game, where surprisingly there is an opposition t.rying to win as well.

    We get another go next year and the year after and thev year.........

    I only read this forum.

    Mainly for the comedy, the game day thread is entertaining, but the Team Selection wins hands down.

    We won a premiership last year, we have had a few ups and downs but we are still top four

    So selection must be do something right 

    AMD is in NT, maybe his housemate JVR is with him, prefer that instead of rushing in a player who is developing nicely in the VFL without any pressure.

    Bowey is understandable, the extended bench predictable

    Oh dear, don't post any more coz of the constant negativity about players and coaches, thought it might change after last year      but sadly no, still the same posters who one handedly bag players the Club has signed and kept on the list,

    Rather than post on here thought they may be better served applying for the vacancies at North, they seem to know better

    Everybody is entitled to an opinion but repeating the same faults ad nauseum no matter the player is just tedious
