Demonland

Recommended Posts

6 - Rivers: career best game and I'm calling it, one of the best individual efforts I've ever seen down back at this club. Crameri goalless.

5 - Garland: X-factor. Match winner.

4 - Jones: Our best player this season, borderline star at present (keep it up JOnesy!)

3 - Watts: Hack my arse!

2 - Grimes: MASSIVE second half.

1 - Nicholson: Disposal not great but everything else very good.

Just like after massive smashings, I need to let the adrenaline die off before I post, otherwise I don't know how I'm going to see past Col Garland's efforts in the last quarter. That and watching completely, utterly exhausted players throw themselves on the ball and man to stop Essendon getting back in it in the last.

Not one player was carried last night. Just a team effort. Can you give votes to every single player.

Maybe on Brownlow night. And the three votes go to, The enire Melbourne football team.

6- Gotta be Riv. What a game from him, has been great all year.

5- Grimes. Won the ball while playing on Watson for most of the game.

4- Nicholson. Courage to run, and beat, opponents set the tone.

3- Jones. What a fighter.

2- Garland. Finally gets played forward!

1- Watts. Great, creative disposal.

Welcome back Moloney, Sylvia, Morton to the team ( at least it appeared as though you wanted to be part of the team). Couple of others still to also return but all positives tonight so I am not naming them.

6. Nicholson- He was awesome with his contested ball and run, and his disposal was not terrible.

5. Rivers- As has been said, dominant game.

4. Watts- Great playmaking and contested work was much much better, especially at the end vs Watson.

3. Grimes- Leading from the front.

2. Garland- Provided a real option up forward. Would have been higher if he kicked straight.

1. Jones- As always, worked hard all night. Nice goal too.

Everybody deserves a vote tonight for actually turning up and going hard.

But when I think of a Grimesy's efforts in the second half I want to cry again. For everything he has been through with injuries and a very difficult start to his captaincy, he was simply inspiring. Absolutely the right man for the job.

Jones as always was magnificent as well.

6. Watts- sublime skill, and those gutsy spoils.

5. Rivers- Best game I've ever seen him play. Masterful.

4.Grimes- Terrier like. Disposal also good.

3. Jones- Guts, guts and more guts. What a team lifting goal!

2. Garland- Unlikely hero in forward line. Great marks in defence too.

1. Mark Neeld and the rest of the Demon team. Fabulous courage and dedication.

Also thought Sylvia was good tonight. Put himself into the contest.

6- Watts: The backline is the place for him. What a great game!

5- Rivers: Unlucky not to get the 6. He was fantastic.

4- Jones: As usual, played with his heart on his sleeve; just this time, he had 21 support acts.

3- Grimes: We've got ourselves a captain!

2- Garland: Our match winning forward

1- Tapscott: I thought he was excellent tonight: he went in hard, took some courageous marks, made some smart plays. Glad to have him in the team.

Honourable mentions: Nicholson, Moloney, McDonald, Green

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
