THEY BURNT THE POWER

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.

WOOOOOONNNNNAAAAA

WELCOME BACK!!!

Underdone yes

but the only way to get him back into form is play him

The Glimpses where there

Well done the rest of the boys

A great win no matter what way you look at it

All I need is some new batteries for my pacemaker and Ill be right for next week :)

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?

We must play a "Home" game up in Darwin each year. The Fire has started.

I am sure we got some new blood supporting us from last night.

Proud to love the Demons.

I agree with alot of wat u said!

Problem

u have a fit

miller jurrah wonna bennell bate Sylvia green jetta watts and petterd

Who do u play ?

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! :)

Anyone know where I can view video highlights?

Sounds like Watts played well :D

I still haven't seen that hit

But moloney is the type of hit they hate front on head high, wat might save him he doesn't look to flatten him

I recall some laughter - but he rucked with the ferocity of a 6 footer ;)

his first tap lead to our first goal of the last qtr

Just watched the replay and got a little oozy in the pants watching the reactions of ScullGove at the final siren. I think it's fair to say they're enjoying their first AFL season with the mighty Demons!!


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,

Welcome aboard. We'll take all the positive energy we can get!

Shucks! That sure is a problem, eh?!

Happy to lump that problem on our Selection Committee any day!

With all of those guys fit and firing, Oh happy days...!!

Go Dees!

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

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
