Jones

The first five minutes

The opening concession of goals in each quarter

Being stuck at work instead of being able to go to the footy

My face when I loaded the scores 5mins into the first quarter

I feel your pain. Perhaps I should become a Collingwood supporter so I can justify becoming unempolyed. :)

oh also in the good

Pia Miller at a Dees game again?

I'm sure the fine print on that deal said we got to keep Pia...

Posted

Jarryd Rivers played a cracker today.

Jordie x 2. Both were in everything

Trengove cramps in the last Q then lays a perfect tackle.

Cale Morton is still a major worry.

Jack Watts goal at 3/4 time...Forward pressure

Liam J's sealer in the last Quarter.

Good

Jack Watts tackling Houli 7 second to go. Collecting the ball, knocking him aside and snapping a goal on the buzzer.

61,900 crowd - was nice to play and win with a big attendance.

Fighting hard when challenged (this win is better than winning by 89 points against Freo)

The Lads congratulating each other after a good disposal into the forward 50.

Bad

Strauss - he looked lost at sea today.

Miller - falling over in the Tiger's forward line.

The Ugly

Richmond supporters whinging BALL even when a player is tackled within a second of having the pill.

50m penalties were a joke today too.

Cale Morton - he can get the pill but gees his turn overs were costly.

Posted

GOOD

Supporters giving Liam standing ovation after his goal in the last quarter

Seeing Skulls hi-5 other players and whispering "dont believe everything you read"

BAD

Mortons turning the ball over - again

UGLY

Kickouts - still make me nervous


Posted

GOOD

Scully in Red and Blue

BAD

Scully not wearing red and blue

UGLY

Scully wearing other colours.

Posted

The Good.

Teamwork

Jurrah tackling, and 2nd efforts

Watts' 3rd quarter goal (and the fellow Dees supporter who said to me "that ain't no Brighton Grammar boy any more)

Our forward structure

Very dependable back six

Scully's 10 possessions in the last quarter when everyone else slowed and/or cramped

Moloney and Jamar

The Bad

Set shots at goal. I think we missed 7 gettable shots, it might have been 8

Richmond supoprters who believe if you tackle someone with the ball it MUST be holding the ball. #$*@!%$y frustrating.

Car park being full. Got to Punt Rd by 1.05pm, drove past the closed car park gates at 2pm, had to park in Lennox St, missed first 15 minutes. ended up sitting so high up I could see over the southern stand.

The Ugly

Cale Morton's first kick. In regard to kicking skills, Morton has Darren Gaspar and Ben Holland writen all over him.

Last 3 games I have been to it has been shut at least 10-15 before the start of the game. Not worth the time of day if you're not getting there early now in my opinion.

That said, I'm not that far from a station.

Good:

Watts showing signs of dominance.

Forward 50 tackling record under Bailey. Should set the standard.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.
