GAME DAY


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Sounds from the radio like a couple of contests have been shirked in the first half. Jones was mentioned which surpised me - anybody watching and see this

Confusion in the back half, where everyone waited for someone else to get in under a floater. Jones was closest, but it was really Jamar's man. Jones been good for mine.

That's true, I wouldn't have called that a shirk either, just confusion and a bit of misreading the flight of a horrible King floater.

Definitely. Jones spectated while Graham marked uncontested, and then goaled.

I don't agree Kento. When its your turn to go you gotta go, no matter whose man it is.

Are the same people that rejected Hardwick and selected Bailey making the call again this time?

Tigers play with heart and spirit, they may not have all the tools but they use what they have and they all put in.

I don't think we are missing anything with Hardwick but your point is still valid.

Richmond should not be the same same as us, We should be above them, there in lies a massive problem with this football club. We have much more talent than they do, but unlike us, they have players who play with heart, desire and aggression.

I asked your Mum and Dad, they said yes.

As I said Richmond are at where we are at, we have talent but no size, they are hard and agressive two different styles of sides. Viney is trying to adress the problems from the previous structure but it takes time and can not be turned around so quickly. As I said previously we are still a couple of years away can you just go to the game without thinking it's Richmond so we should win. Jurrah & Sylvia have been running hard and showing a bit after being sent back to the magoos, Viney said on ABC today being captain doesn't guarentee you a start Brad is on the benc because his preparation for this week didn't warrant starting. From where I see it today we are showing endeavour and effort, which if anything is a step up. All I ask is for supporters to stop turning on the boys, the overall change will take time and a few more seasons.

I don't disgree with you, but I think Jones has enough currency to say that he would not shirk any contest, and IMO it looked more like he was a bit confused than anything. I wasn't referring to whose man it was, more that he may have misread the flight of the ball (as I said). That is just my assessment of the situation.

It did surprise me - sounds more likely from previous experience that they would all have NFI what was going on, and nobody would end up spoiling.

But he's just kicked a goal so let's cut him some slack.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
