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

    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

    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
