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...

Welcome - be sure to check out the Jack Watts thread if you are into the analytical stuff :)

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

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    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
