GAME DAY


Demonland

Recommended Posts

"The hardest team to play against."

I was thinking just that but "didn't want to be too negative". Hard for nearly two quarters though, it appears from afar.

What happens at half time? Surely it can't be lack of fitness? Who's is the change rooms at half time that is or isn't there before the game? There must be a valid explanation for this??!!

Pep tides beat pep talks?

You morons bagging the coach for this god-awful quarter need to realize that its' the players who are responsible for dropping away so quickly. It might be fitness, or it might be something else. Whatever it is, getting a new coach is not the answer.

They just must win the fourth to get a bit of positivity going into next week's game.

And I agree, it isn't the coach out there getting smashed after a pretty good first half, and it sure as hell ain't Schwab.

I see. When we're efficient, it's luck. When we're not running and tackling, it's the coach. Great logic.

And to Macca, if you want to get me suspended for sticking up for our coach, go ahead.

Mate, look at the stats. Our defensive stats were terrible in the first quarter, we did well in attack, but we were still loose.

Isn't Neeld the man who's meant to be bringing the defence? "Hardest team to play against"?!

Don't call fellow posters 'Morons'. There is no need to get personal. You should know better.

Garland is a terrible footballer, he doesnt use his brain, Jamar should be dropped and were 10 yrs off finals, you can thank D Bailey.

It doesn't change the fact that you're blaming the coach for the bad things, and not giving him any credit for the good things. You're a stats man it seems, and yet you rely on something as ethereal as luck to explain away the inconsistencies in your argument!

I think terlich's game has been better, matt Jones continues to impress in his third AFL game, Colin Sylvia and Trengove have shown some form at times, and Tappscott has not given up all day. Bail looked ok, Clark looks injured.

Evans hasnt been the worst. He looked ok in the preseason.

Evans should be proud of his performance, good solid game.

I wasn't getting personal. I was using a word that's barely offensive to begin with, and I used it to refer to the collective masses who were calling for the coach's head.

I would never call you or anyone else a moron, but I reserve the right to use it against entire groups of people who decide on the spur of the moment to sack the coach after one horrendous quarter of footy.

Why don't we leave the administration to the administrators and just get on with our lives?

I think young Toump would be better served in the 2nds for a while. this could ruin is confidence Watts style.

So would Jamar, hes a complete joke of a player.

Neeld is meant to be a defensive coach. Our defence was better under Bailey, what does that tell you? You want me to give him credit? Fine. Dear Mark Neeld, those 3 plays where we looked good and it lead to a goal were well done, however, the REST OF THE EFFING GAME where we couldn't tackle or give any effort was [censored] WEAK. "Hardest team to play against" my arse!

Forget Schwab, forget Neeld, forget McClardy... Every membership should get cancelled 'til Jamar goes.

Complete dinosaur. A liability. An embarassing lack of skills and understanding of the game. Goodfckingbye.

Why does Toumpas look so slow?

Sylvia for captain! Lolz.

I'm really worried about Toumpas, I just don't see anything in him yet.

Im not - Wayne Carey looked ordinary in his first games as well.

But playing him now is stupid. he needs time to develop in the VFL.

    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

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los
