GAME DAY

Chook
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

As opposed to all the other weeks, that have been kind? Most of the time the week after we play anywhere is unkind. We lose so often that it's impossible to say if Darwin is a factor or not.

That's true but why leave anything to chance?

Now that we're literally in bed with the AFL it shouldn't be too hard for us to request demand that our Darwin fixture be played in the week before our midseason bye to ensure that we get the desired rest anyway.

Incidentally, that's exactly what happened with the Western Bulldogs v Port Adelaide game in round 10.

 

I can only hope that the idea was actually raised by Jackson . i.e Darwin then our bye. Wouldnt think it asking for the world.

Anyone got a seating plan for the game. With the top level closed, have they altered G.A seating?
 

Terlich out, Tapscott in. Kent sub.

Been calling for Tapscott behind the footy for weeks. Let's see how we goes!

Injured/rested?

It's stated on the AFL site as being 'quad', but who knows.

Big game for Tapscott. Must show something.

I wonder if the dry weather and quick game can get some spark about him. I've been a big fan of his potential but when I watch him I see a player who looks as if he is treading water. May need to lose a few kgsover summer, add some dash.

Does anyone think we can stretch them up forward today? Watts Dawes fitzy and Howe in the dry weather, could be a strength to keep us in it similar to the Sydney game, that is make our forward entries count.
 

Pedersen didn't push back hard off the mark, then kicked off one step, straight into the man on the mark.

Ffs.

Well he was recruited from the VFL.

Max is getting an absolute bath. Goldstein having a field day.


5 shots to 1. If Scott wishes to keep his job into next year we will get pumped today on Noughts home ground.

If we do get pumped Craig can forget the senior position.


This is dross. Transition from defense looks staggered and uncertain. Just can't get it inside 50.

  • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
