In golf on a putting green the grass blades will head towards water. Is it the qaqc on footballs being made or the pressure inside the ball. Or do we need designated kickers(that used to be called a full forward) in the game who are not spent of energy when they get the ball in front of the big sticks. Kicking for goal is deplorable these days FJ. I'm guessing they're all to busy doing cardio work and other stuff. Nothing beats scoreboard pressure mate.
July 18, 20214 yr Popular Post Something must have distracted me last week while I was doing my tips, first warning was when I checked scores yesterday in the Melb/Hawks game and noticed I had Hawthorn... Checked again today and noticed my final four tips had not been made either... Very strange.

July 18, 20214 yr Top of the ladder fooie..........i seen enough good teams in my life to know how they should travel.....Its not a good sign to build yourself up one week and run out on the ground with a flat the next week.... We should have strangled the Hawks last night, 4 goals up early in the 2cd....i was think how far? But then they let them back in... We haven't murdered anyone since early in the year....keep it close is our mantra, make it a thriller, give the fans something to sweat about.....geeeessssss....... Demons have no mongrel in them, Viney normally a ferret rat is well not a ferret rat of late, we need a Grinter in the team men.....a fair and tough man....we should be moving heaven and earth to try and get a Toby Green into the red and dark blue.....thats what we need....... And the coach....gees how did i miss that, the pain of another year....when we could have maybe snared a good one.....watch in the Melbourne Demons is like watching Mr Maggoo the cartoon guy....frigging idiot he was....

Jeez You're a hard man to please Uncle Alex. Sitting on top of the ladder at round 18 and you want the coach gone. You're half right with Grinter. He was tough and a thug.
July 18, 20214 yr Popular Post Well people That's it for another week. Uncle Alex, Radar and Wendy's Saints all picked 7. Radar and Wendy share the Lindt for this week. Ozzydom still on top with with Alex creeping a point closer. Until next time.

July 18, 20214 yr Popular Post Look the worse thing that happened to us this year is they will sign Goodwin to a 2 year extension sometime next year....disgusting.....he lost me the second half of the year before last....he is already playing his favourites which means we will stagnate some time soon.... Mind you we once had a decent coach and they didnt resign him......lets see what miss elpresidentie does....they recon shes a mover and shaker....but you know where stuck with this guy for at least another 3 ys....i might be dead when he gets the flick.....i will have to be watching from a bar up near the pearly gates with 65inch tellys on the wall..... Or i might be a broken down and broke Aussie aged pensioner living under a palm tree on a Thai beach with no access to the internet cause im broke and living the life of the broken down old bum in a crumpled white suite smelling of whiskey on my breath and miss the entire event of Goodwin getting the flick....

I know you still don't trust Melbourne, and that's understandable giving their history. But just try and enjoy the wins. There's 17 other clubs who would like to be where you are.

With an early draft pick and maybe go after a bonefide forward next year and the skys the limit. I rarely miss watching the Roos but on sunday i was back and forth between the game and the Charlo v Castano fight which was a cracker. It was given a draw which was disappointing as Tszyu would be next to fight Castano.
July 19, 20214 yr Popular Post Ummmm yes there is defiantly a lack of trust and it was a headline in the Age today as well referring to the Demons...... Well its been nice not jumping around in my chair during games and carrying on over some decisions which makes me think how blessed you have been Will for so many years.... But i have vivid memories of dropping the last 5 games of the season to end up in the elimination final and we did that at least 4 times under Northey, and i maybe wrong but under Daniher at least once... Bulldogs prime time sat night men....some games have been switched around....
July 22, 20214 yr Popular Post Im not sure what you guys think of the 'new' "updated" forum but just as i was looking up visa requirements and motor stuff.....its like hummmm.....poor as Melbournes last game....and not Apple like smooth intuitive as before.......

Well dont start me.....had a scam phone call this morning claiming to be amazon, theses days its rifle here to the point i now use voice mail to screen calls but sometimes i answer and i did today so it got me thinking i should delete my credit card details from both amazon and ali express....amazon was almost easy but ali express....well in the end fluke it by chance as google search wasnt up to date and nowhere with in the park..... The AFL app continually logs me out so i just check scores there these days, safari and kayo dont like each other, anyway i see what this forum is about now there added a few countries and i think its a good idea bit they forgot to keep it like it was before.....bit like Apple updates fix one thing and screw another....

Crows @ Marvel against the Hawks.....well Crows haven't picked up points in a while....so the law of averages says its time like in 1975....though it did no good as they got turfed out by Malcom pretty quick....

July 25, 20214 yr Popular Post Well gang That's it again for this round. FJ gets the Cherry Ripes this week with an excellent 7. Ozzdom still leads the way, but only by 1 as Uncle Alex creeps up behind him. Rip has gone to 3rd. Until next time.
July 26, 20214 yr Popular Post Suns, Eagles, Crows and Cats....the romance is over.....can drop to 6th by by double chance.....lazy midfield.....did you notice how the Dogs got it of out of defence? every one was watching....... Brought undone......kicking into the forward line is a pot shoot...hit any tin if you can, Ben Brown has brought some class to that structure but the rest....well Tom is ok but off the boil this week....needs to stand up in the big games fella... As per the Northey and Danaher days the traditional Demon Big dive before the finals is on....lol Hey you can put your money on this team.....like a train they never get off the track, living vintage B52 bomber with the ass shot out of it flying back from a bombing run over Berlin....

Eagles are just going and I can't see us beating you, even at home. Geelong look like they will be real hard to beat at the minute. Still another month to tinker with things.
July 26, 20214 yr Popular Post I take my hat off to David Noble and his coaching team. 12 months ago the players couldn't hit a barn door from 5 feet. The way they carved through the Blues was an absolute pleasure to watch as a supporter. Looking forward to the Cats this week.????
July 26, 20214 yr Popular Post Wish we where playing the the Blues for the next 6 weeks in a row......I was wondering if we would do the wobbles come last 5 games.....well the Dogs game wasnt a disgrace, but you know lockdown 5 the high light of my day so far was turning on the dishwasher....going la la here...stir crazy.....only thing i got to focus on is that mob....everything else is suspended....
July 26, 20214 yr Popular Post It is pretty clear that to be succesful a team needs multiple gun forwards ala Richmond,Eagles ,Bulldogs ,Cats etc. Matters little having a gun backline if you cant score when you get the ball in your forward zone. Problem being that gun forwards are like hens teeth and very expensive to get . A criticism of my team (Demons) is that when the cherry does go forward our potential goalkickers are up the ground to far to effect the outcome. Kozzie pickett was drafted to potentially be our (Eddie Betts) but he spends most of his time around the centre and wing.

Mate its the delivery.....we got the forwards, its a haphazard approach, Ben Brown was great on saturday night, if he kicked straight it could have made the difference, ive noticed when the forwards lead particular Spargo he takes for ever to kick and theres a couple of others like that, the midfield has regressed, Viney will get better as he gets more games under his belt, i think Viney and Oliver are to much of the same, Oliver has the quality to be better, he needs to break out of packs rather than just get the hand ball out or drop it on his feet, Viney in that regards is more complete, but Oliver is the better player if he did what i suggested.. There got Brayshaw on a wing, we dont have anyone else to go there, Angus is a gun midfielder id be doing something here in the lead up to the finals, Harmes id back in any day but is off the boil, the whole midfield is down 10% easy, bit of a shake up in the middle would get results....Goodwin hasn't played with anything all year so is unlikely to make big changes in the middle..... If we put anyone of Macdonald, Fritch, Weiderman up for trade they would be gone in a flash.... Taking your back man for a run up the park is good...i liked Kossie on the ball he added some sparkle around the pack, Spargo is a good player but is 2 good 1 poor at the moment....Macdonald plays his best when hes allowed to roam up the ground. I see the problem as being in the middle, were struggling getting first use of the ball, we are getting beaten around the packs to often, its a midfield issue....
