firstly i think moloney will not get off.... he did clip him in the head slightly.

Moloney has a bad history and last time the contact looked less severe! (2 weeks i reckon)

I mentioned it in the game thread

it looks like Watts and Miller might be a good combination together....

im not sure if we keep miller next year if the gold coast want him

Jurrah and Watts might work the same if not better ...

as much as a i like miller i think we have to lose someone from the forward line.

PS HOW GOOD is bennells hands?

can I humbly suggest that if we had have played Brad Miller against the Pies and WB we would have won both games and now be in the top 4. what he does provide down forward is strength, leadership and a marking target. Sure, maybe he won't be in our premiership side in 2014, but in the meantime he will help teach the kids how to win. I say we should play him regularly for the next 2-3 years and make sure we play finals football while we wait for the young guns to mature. He is a strong experienced body up forward, something we have really been missing. Well done Brad Miller.

I love him but I thought Aussie was pretty ordinary in patches. Not because he made poor decisions or anything, in fact it was generally the opposite when he got it, but that effort in the first or was it second (?) quarter was droppable, IMO. His opponent won the ball and then ran off him, as Wona merely jogged slowly behind him. Certainly should have been dragged (but I'm not sure he was).

I think you'll find , and this is the reason he was not dragged , was that he was under instructions not to make any EXCESSIVE chases and stretches for the ball because of his suspect hamstrings . He is being taught to modify his running gait to ease his sinews back into ' steel springs '

Interesting. It'd be more profound if this scenario could be confirmed, but regardless, you make a good point.

And if he can follow instructions in Darwin in what must have been an emotional night for him, we probably can rely on him into the future.

Guess you mean Wonna & Morton...tough but probably fair. Glad selection isn't my job tho.

Yes i was, but only because of the conditions up in Darwin. with 80% humidity and players were out on there legs in the last Quarter.

Port have finished strongly in the last quarter all year and that showed again as they nearly won the game from 8 goals down.

It was good to win a close one at last. Aussie and Morton are important players for us no doubt.

If he can't chase and provided 'frontal pressure' there's no place for him in this team. It's an important aspect of his game and without it, he's simply not best 22.

He made no head contact luckily as shown in the replays. He hit him in the side as Tony Shaw said and added that the Port player was acting a fair bit for a free.

with the new rules this year, if moloney is found not guilty because he doesn't make contact to the head, then should the port player not be charged with staging for a free kick?

How does it compare with Josh Kennedy's hit on Sylvia that broke his jaw?

That's gotta be the yardstick, from now on...

In my tipping competition I tipped Port to win because of our injuries and players coming in not being match fit. I also selected Port to be my SAFE winning team in my knock out competition.

I feel sorry for you. Ye of little faith! :)

Green was solid. So dependable & reliable. Jamar was fanatastic - but needs support. What do we do if he gets injured? Bennell was terrific. Having Jetta around gives him support. I think they make a great duo up forward. Watts great first half - still getting used to the speed of the game. Trengove - was everywhere.

My heart - slowly recovering. About time we won a close one. It will give the boys more confidence. They did not give up.

Wow. I know there are a lot of posters on this board that post on Bigfooty (which I am guilty), but i've just registered today with demonland and have to say I'm really impressed with the actual analytical nature and generally positive posts. I know we've just had a win which obviously sets the tone a little, but this joint is by far better than the BF lot.

I'm staying if you'll have me,

Work in Warragul, live in Pakenham (not for long, hopefully), grew up in Drouin.

Fair enough. Sale was where I grew up. Been on the Gold Coast since '82...

I also travelled back into Darwin by bus and spoke to many locals about the game

Demons have many supporters there and with good performances will gain a strong foothold in the north. It was a truely inspirational night with the indigenous program and Jimmy giving selflessly all night (even though he was tired he continued to give). If the team can emulate his spirit we will win many more games and gain the respect of the football world. Well done demons

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi
