NAB Challenge 2 - Melbourne v Geelong

Featured Replies

How can Mitchie be holding the ball hen he was pushed in th back then laid upon?

Then Schroder drags it in twice and has no intentions of getting rid of it - they ball it up.

 

toumpas- hit a bloody target. Disgraceful kick.

I would make Toumpas do laps at half time for that

 

toumpas switch kicks DIRECTLY to a cats player inside 50.

i really don't rate the kid.

48-53 now.

I just don't even comment on him anymore. At all.


What? This would have been 50pts down 6m ago!.....Go the Deees!!!

 

Holding the ball is going one way only.


dom tyson, what a catch! no one to kick to tho, they flood back with purpose.

he had no one to kick to but he put it into a clever spot for a throw in 20 out

A goal down at half time. I think most of us would have taken that half an hour ago or even before the game. Sounds like they're doing a great job.

half time.

48-53.

great second quarter thanks to two super goals from michie and vince, both of whom have been fantastic. tyson the same, alongside dunn and clisby. cross and terlich trying really hard.

i presume watts was off the ground second half of that quarter, he had one touch.

toumpas, trengove, byrnes no good at all.

Dom Tyson is going to be an absolute superstar, between him and Salem pick 2 was a steal.


Toumpas. That name will haunt me. These turnovers are simply inexcusable. He's gifting Geelong free goals.

A goal down at half time. I think most of us would have taken that half an hour ago or even before the game. Sounds like they're doing a great job.

Going on past form, I would have taken 8 goals down at half time.

Look, there are some bloody stupid options taken, but they are having a dip, running both ways and it's a freak load better to watch than the shitte we have vomited up the last few years.


Dom Tyson will be a star for us. And I'm not just doing the jinxy pre-season labels we have been destroying players with for years, he will be a dead set star.

Absolutely and so will Hogan.

We're ok, hey we came back. The last few years we would be 10 goals down by now after the way we started.

I agree DA. He is a great kick, but the same can be said for Strauss. Too many brain fades. I doubt he will ever be a top-liner. That particular kick was inexcusable.

Cross, Vince and Tyson were inspired pickups.

They picked the intensity up in that quarter but the main thing that sticks out is there fitness level, they will win more than they lose this year if Dawes , Chip and Garland play consistently , Toumpas has been very disappointing and made some bad decisions, looking forward to Viney playing but it's amazing what guys can do when they respect the man leading them.

 

Despite his kicking failures, I'm actually liking Terlich's game... he's managed to stop a few incursions. And whats with the #15... is it just me or is Clisby starting to morph into Petterd?

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
