GAME DAY

Recommended Posts

like 3rd quarter v hawthorn, just vice versa

Ah no.... that quarter was 8.11 to 1.0. Nothing like that.

Richmond 7.5. 47

Melbourne 12.4. 76

Dees by 29 pts.

Won that quarter by 9 pts.

Goals: Green 3, Jones 2, Watts 2, Trengove 2, Martin, Jurrah , Howe.

Really impressed wiuth the intensity and some of the ball movement is exquisite. Impressed with Nicholson's don't argue's and breaking tackles whilst on the run looking up field. Garland, Rivers and Frawley doing well as required. Moloney coming into the game that quarter, Jones playing very well. ANd the forwards in Jurrah, Green, Howe, Petterd playing with freedom and looking dangerous foe nearly every i50. Martin and Jamar sharing the load both in the centre and up forward. Making contests. Bennell could be a bit more dangerous with some confidence. Goes to the ball one handed alot, would prefer two hands and that he take the physicality responsibility for his teammates. If you go half hearted at 50/50 balls, opposition will find you out and exploit that. Putting in though so that is a positive.

Bring on the second half. Must let the footy do the talking again and keep the accelerator down. May just break the game wide open.

Anyone know anything about Sylvia making contact in an off the ball incident? Heard someone saying he'll get 3 weeks for it...no one at the game knows anything about nor did anyone see it. Me thinks it's a bit of good ol' fashioned BS.

@ Akum. Jordie was on him late in the quarter, not sure who was on him earlier, possible Gys. Garland gets him when he is going forward.

On of Jordies tackles on him in their F50 he literally threw him self at him through the air and wrapped both arms and legs around him and rode him to the ground. Don't argue that!

Off the ball incident...know nothing.

The only contact he had was his knee into Conca's head. Conca got a free, could have been nasty but just grazed him. All accidental. Sylvia should have gone down low like Conca did. Granted, Conca may have just beaten him to the ball.

true, overexcited...what I should have said was 'tiges really struggling to release the ball following a dees behind, a little reminiscent of the hawks game'

Yeah fair enough.

Our press is putting pressure on.

Our ball handling is good.

edit:

Watts mark - great pack mark, stood tall !!

Nothing in it, Conca (I think) and Sylvia were both running at the ball and Conca's head hit Slyvia's knee as they both when low for the ball

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    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

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    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.
