Melbourne Cricket Club

Following up on a topic raised on the Big Bash thread I thought I would start a thread on the Melbourne Cricket Club here.

With the advent of the BBL the Demons are at a further disadvantage as they regularly lose players like Hodge, McDonald, Maxwell ย and occasionally Keath to the various state teams and now to the extended BBL competition.

Yesterday, in a one dayer, they easily beat Richmond who were dismissed for 186 (interesting number that!) and in reply they scored 3/187 with the Michael Hill 74, Alex Keath 68no the main run scorers.

That wasn't enough to get the club into the finals of the competition's one day series (they missed out on run rate) but the 2nds, 3rds & 4ths are all in their finals.

The competition proper resumes next week and the Demons are well placed for the finals.

Fourth placed Melbourne is in a great position against ladder leader Carlton after the first day of the current round of Premier Cricket.

The Blues had an ordinary day against the Demons being bowled out for just 116. Melbourne quick Dan Worrall was the star with the excellent figures of 6/16 off 12.3 overs with 7 maidens. It could have been even worse for Carlton, with a 50-run last wicket stand between Nick Austin (25no) and Chris Salm (25).

Melbourne was in command at stumps, reaching 5/223, with Rob Cooper (80) and former Gold Coast listed footballer Alex Keath (79) adding 115 for the third wicket and should press for the outright on the second day.

Always love to thrash Carlscum at any Sport. I refuse to go near Lygon St. I know i miss good food and coffee by doing it, but standards must be adhered to, and Carlscum have none!

Thanks for the report.

What has happened to Glen Maxwell of late ?

Noticed in the paper that the Demons flogged Hawthorn Monash Uni to go into second place on the Premier District Cricket ladder just behind Carlton.

Always enjoy seeing the Dees doing well.

... and it's always good to read about the Demons beating the Magpies http://m.heraldsun.com.au/leader/central/camberwell-magpies-dismissed-by-plucky-demons/story-fngnvlpt-1226806729354]Camberwell Magpies dismissed by plucky Demons

We owe them nothing.

They owe us plenty.

They are not worth supporting.

I respect your nostalgia but without us they would not exist although our form of entertainment has proved far more profitable than theirs.

i also acknowledge that without them the same is true.

Interesting tussle between the Demons and the Cats in Premier District Cricket at the Albert Ground today with the MCC just dismissing Geelong for 266. They were chasing 7/354 (dec) and were motoring along quite nicely at tea with Aaron Finch in the 80s and the score 4/207. Finch got his ton but the wheels fell off and the Cats lost 6/33.

Demons likely to figure strongly in the finals.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
