GAMEDAY ON THE GOLD COAST

Featured Replies

This is UNREAL.....

GO DEES.... happy with what I hear !!!!

 
Is that the best first quarter we've played all year?

And how unbelievably good is it to have a ruckman who can actually ruck?! Jamar is making a massive difference to our on-ballers.

Brilliant goal from Frawley, and quality work from little Addam Maric.

Bate brought his sticky hands as well I see.

GO DEES!

Edit: for those without Foxtel, we're down by 4 points (after kicking 5 behinds :rolleyes: )

Is Frawley playing forward?

Good on ya Gardiner enjoy your time off

 
Is Frawley playing forward?

Hes on Riewolt I think but kicked a great goal


Frawley kicks into a Saints player rebounds to Reiwoldt who kicks out on the full from 5m out!

addam maric and jack grimes...... wow have they 4 games or 204??????

maric is seriously killing baker!!

grimes just oozes class

LOVE BOTH OF THEM (in the manly non-sexual kind of way :wub: )

 

Goal to Green. 6 pts the difference. Close to half time. 7.6 to 6.6

Tackling pressure in the first quarter was awesome, they were just closing them as soon as they got the ball.

Eight points in it at half time......

Go Dees!


half time

down by just 8 points. a couple of skill errors and turnovers the only reason we're behind

How about the 1 percenters from Maric... slik as....

Is it just me or is the ABC commentary horribly biased against us (AGAIN)?

Foxtel is raving about us...

Is there any chance PJ might actually hit a damn target? He is woeful, utterly woeful.

Our young guys are just so impressive.

Maric is playing one of the best games I have seen from a young kid in a long long time. His class is unbelievable.

Grimes is another one who just keeps on shinning. He seriously looks like he has played 100 games.

I love that both are getting more of a midfield run today, and getting their hands on the ball. I would like to see Morton on the wing for a bit as well. He is wasted in the back half IMO.

Jamar has been very good, his contested marking stronger than I remember.

Bate is also having a ripping game, but the forward line is lacking a target without Robbo. The Saints have 10 marks inside 50, we have 2. Pretty terrible.

We still turn the ball over far too much, and while we are putting amazing pressure on the Saints (despite them dominating the clearances), when we win the ball we seem panicked and all over the place and become way too obsessed with the handballing.

The third quarter will tell us everything we need to know about whether we are any chance of winning this. We have to maintain the intensity but calm down with our ball use and think things through. Maybe Sylvia will come alive again?

Best/ most influential players thus far: Maric, Bate, McLean, Jamar


Matthew Bate is such a confidence player, he is doing very nicely tonight. Strong hands and smart footy on the deck.

Brock is in everything.

Grimes has not wasted a kick and has taken some courageous marks.

Maric is a smart, nicely balanced player.

Rivers V Koschitzche is a worry.

Lenny Hayes is a great player.

how good was that grab from grimes? back with the flight of the ball into a pack of 3 tot 4 in the back hotspot and NEVER took his eyes off the pill. great grab

Rivers V Koschitzche is a worry.

Lenny Hayes is a great player.

Rivers is winning the contest thus far (comfortably). Absolutely no worries there.

Who the hell is on Hayes... and Goddard for that matter. Both are ripping us a new one!

Serious question: have we had a free yet?

8 frees to the saints, 2 to us.... sounds like business as usual

Is it just me or is the ABC commentary horribly biased against us (AGAIN)?

Actually, a couple of them have been really talking us up. They seem quite impressed.


Serious question: have we had a free yet?

ummm...... NO!

and they're getting away with throws, push outs...we should've had about 5 holding the balls as well!!!!!!

the only one i remember was the downfield for gardiner throwing an elbow at the russian

ummm...... NO!

and they're getting away with throws, push outs...we should've had about 5 holding the balls as well!!!!!!

How was the inconsistency with not rewarding Rivers for a clear push in the back, but then paying one against him for a fairly weak push IN THE SHOULDERS?! <_< :angry:

At least the umpires are leaving them alone to contest in the middle and not calling "holding the ball" every five seconds.

And I'll say it again, PJ is horrendous. Can't dispose and gives away completely stupid frees. When Jamar is crapping all over you, you know you're in big trouble.

For those without foxtel or other stuff

Dead set killed by the umpiring. The AFL really want two undefeated teams in round 14. It shows

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
