JKH needs to play a full game because he actually runs to space.

DEVIL OF A TIME - Match Preview and Team Selection
Straight Sets Simon replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
When I watch those sides I feel as though I'm watching teams in different leagues. I just don't understand why Melbourne can't do these basic things. -
Interest Factor in football these days almost dead
Straight Sets Simon replied to Soidee's topic in Melbourne Demons
I get depressed and jealous watching other teams play now. I've just turned off the Collingwood and Geelong game despite it being of a high quality I've lost a fair bit of interest. -
DEVIL OF A TIME - Match Preview and Team Selection
Straight Sets Simon replied to Demonland's topic in Melbourne Demons
I don't think he is nearly as quick as those players when it comes to disposing the ball, that is one thing they are terrific at and makes up for their lack of leg speed. -
I always enjoy seeing Richmond lose. It's comforting to know there are other supporters out there who have been let down year after year.

Well this sucks.

I think he's always been a slow runner. -

Trengove isn't just a slow runner, he's a slow thinker and is slow to dispose of the ball. That's what separates him from the likes if Mitchell and Watson. -
DEVIL OF A TIME - Match Preview and Team Selection

Trengove and Toumpas are probably the two slowest midfielders in the AFL. Very interesting selections this week. -
I think his comments about the scoreboard before the game were a mistake, the players played like the score didn't matter. I'm not saying that caused it, but it wouldn't have helped.

Tanking?

Roos sounding like Neeld (The Age)?
Straight Sets Simon replied to John Crow Batty's topic in Melbourne Demons
I thought the same. -
No, he's just slow.
-
His chase on Cripps yesterday highlighted how much of a liability his lack of pace is.
-
The closest I could find about the draft camp results were here.

I don't care about 20 metres, it's about the first five metres.

Changes for next week...
Straight Sets Simon replied to The Song Formerly Known As's topic in Melbourne Demons
What did he say? -
There was a moment where he and Priddis were wrestling for the ball, despite being bigger Watts was completely out-muscled and had no hunger to get the ball at all.
-
Mitchell has extremely quick hands and has a quick mind which counteracts his slow leg speed. Trengove is slow by hand, by foot and above the shoulders.
-
I'd rather put pins in my eyes.
-
I said most and I missed Howe so those three are the exception no doubt. In positive new your mate Dunn is playing well.
-
Good point, although I never saw a future in most of those players so their mediocrity doesn't hurt so badly.
-
I probably am and it's not his fault he was drafted, I am just so sick of the same mistakes being made at the drafting table year after year.
-
I can live with Dawes but add in Toumpas.
-
Would get a second round pick at very best. I'd bundle up Trengove and Toumpas back to a South Australian team for a second and fourth round pick.
