POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 22
Straight Sets Simon replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
A couple more, but we really need more top end draft talent as much as anything. -

Good point, I knew I'd forget someone. -

Any idea who was supposed to be playing on Danyle Pearce? -

Straight Sets Simon replied to Dee Dee Ramone's topic in Melbourne Demons
It goes back longer, I remember thinking he had it in for the club at least ten years ago. He was genuinely upset when Melbourne beat Geelong and that "article" if I can call it that is nothing short of a disgrace. -

Out: M. Jones, Newton (for that lazy chase of the Fremantle player running into an open goal), Spencer, N. Jones (injured) In: JKH, White, Riley, Brayshaw EDIT: Also whoever was meant to be on Danyle Pearce must be dropped. -
That's a scary thought.

Seriously, I would like the club to ask him for a please explain as to what he means by his comments. -

I just had the displeasure of reading his article, I really wish I hadn't. "The tanking affair killed off much goodwill and destroyed the reputations of many, and the MCG statue of icon turned president Jim Stynes stands as another subliminal reminder of how uneasy that ended." What a disgusting human being. I'm angry now. -

He's still bitter about the Geelong game. -
POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 22
Straight Sets Simon replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
I've mentioned a few times that we don't turn around and get behind the mark quickly enough after taking a mark, it drives me insane. Basically, if you are going to play on you need to know within two seconds (absolute maximum) any longer than this and you must go back to take the kick. When going back to take the kick you must face the goals front on and run backwards to get behind the mark so that you have space to kick the ball and you don't drift sideways off the mark. Sadly, what Melbourne do is they slowly turn around, by which time the opportunity to play on has passed then they stop, take a step sideways, get called to play on and kick under pressure when there was no need at all. -
No, he couldn't kick under pressure.
-
Draft watchers, who are the kids in this year's draft who can hit the broad side of a barn under the slightest pressure? I'll take seven of them.

You're right, our endurance probably isn't so bad in fact it could be why we are so slow off the mark as we have a team of marathon runners instead of sprinters.

Who was playing on Danyle Pearce by the way? That's the second time this year that he's killed us. -

Straight Sets Simon replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
Correct, Fremantle could have put the foot down. -
Why do our players always look to have smaller muscles, less endurance, acceleration and speed? Surely this indicates that we are doing something wrong in this department.

Take away the first quarter and we were less raped by umpires and Fremantle didn't try. -
