The best thing about today


Gorgoroth

Recommended Posts

for me messen had one of the best games I have seen by a mfc ruck man, but I was sitting a lot further away then usual. Great to see, our hardness at the ball all over the park was excellent - you could have been excused to think that it was the dees in the medias sights all week.

Just waiting for the replay on fox ATM

15 disposals, 12 hitouts, 5 marks and 3 Frees For....

Did some really nice things around the ground... His handball on the 50m in the last qtr was a ripper...

Looks like he could prove a helluva lot of people wrong :P

The best thing about today was that we were mentally strong for 4 quarters (apart from losing legs at the end). Bailey primed the boys well for this game. As well as being a confidence booster to the younger players it is evident that we have a coach who the players are beginning to respond to out on the park.

Another added bonus with today's win is that (by our recent standards) it is reasonably early in the season so this will do our membership tally no harm at all.

When the tigers number 39 (have no idea who the squib is) wussed the contest and for the next 5 mins Rivers absolutely gave it to him and really told him how weak he was.

GOLD!!!!!

Well done Rivs!

39 tiges is one Daniel Connor. A very young lad playing his 9th game. Does Rivers no credit at all. Be different if it was a, say, 75 game plus player.

Hope Rivers is one of the 1st to defend Cale Morton next time he is intimidated physically. He had a chance last week with Lade.

Just bully stuff.

What at load of rubbish.

If an opposition player squibs a contest (and Connor) then I expect an MFC to let him know about regardless of whether it was his first game or his 300th game. It was crap effort and if it was an MFC footballer I'd be disgusted.

Morton got under Lade's skin. Nothing to gain by carrying on.

Sorry Mono, Its the player's responsibility to let the opposition rookie know that he doesn't belong out there, the pressure's too great, doesnt have the heart etc. If the opposition rookie lets this worry him too much then indeed he doesn't belong out there.

Its not tiddlywinks, its dog eat dog out there. Its a process of natural selection. The rookie has a choice to go harder at the next contest............. or not.

Rivers may as well have asked, "Well do yoyu really want to play AFL footy buddy?"

Rivers giving the squib a spray for 5 mins was the best thing today!

But the weirdest thing today was after the match when all the supporters stayed after the game and then the team congregated at the race and stared at each other :blink: . Felt like a long uncomfortable pause because its been awhile between wins so I think no one knew quite how to react. Good though.

GO DEE's

Whats this feeling I'm feeling? OH! its the sweet taste of success. :D

They were waiting for Bennell and Jetta to come over to lead the players. I thought Bennell and Jetta showed a lot of what we can expect in the next couple of years from them - what flair and dash. Remember the feeling we used to have when Aaron first played. Well that feeling was there again today with both Bennell and Jetta. :wub:

A win is always the best thing but to see ALL the player sing the club song, this even gave the 3AW jocks shivers. With this sort of gusto wee need to bottle it 4ever!!!

Then be disgusted with Cale Morton and the number of contests he squibs, starting with his 1st game last year.

Christ, you can be a wally! :lol:

Confident boys, never drop their heads when things don't go their way. Something others at the club need to learn from.

The turn Jetta did in the last qtr was sublime and showed he has the vision and poise to become a very good player across HF.

And where did you pull that from Hannabal?

Rivers was running back into packs, not one-on-one marking contests like he usually does. A result probably of Richmond kicking in the general vicinity of Richo and their entire forwardline gravitating toward him.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    POSTGAME: Rd 09 vs Carlton

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
