Alexis Georgiou can accept reprimand

Recommended Posts

I hope Georgiou appeals.

For one, it'll highlight the hilarious dive from Franklin.

We should bring a spotlight on it and make him look like an utter goose.

Secondly, for an accidental glancing blow where no harm was caused, this is an unfair punishment.

And thirdly, because I know the AFL tribunal won't throw it out, Georgiou will get suspended, and he'll be out of the team.

And not a minute too soon.

He is a liability. So bloody awkward that he is a danger to his teammates.

Anyone see McDonald win the footy, about to kick, and then Georgiou ran across his path?

T-Mac had to pull the kick, attempt a sidestep and then in the split-second it took him to reset for a clear kick, he was tackled and he turned it over.

Bloody Georgiou... Can't get him out of the side soon enough.

Can't believe you are serious. One instance? Can you name all the others you talk about? Surely every player has accidentally got in the way of a team mate during their playing career.

actually if he repeats it i think he loses 2 games

i.e. 93.75 + 125 = 218.75 with no discount = 2 weeks

cheers, I'm not across the points system. But that being the case further highlights what a stupid bloody system it is .

The sooner we get Garland in the better chance Geogiou will be out.

Look love his work ethic but he has horrible skills and poor decision making aswell. Will always be an honest battler and thats it.

Cant afford to keep having blokes like him and Terlich keep turning it over in our back half.

Georgiou breaks a hold and Gibson leaves the ground and puts a forearm to the head. It's insane.

...but full of integrity....according to the outgoing CEO ^_^

RTG im not trying to be harsh on him but like I said he has very poor skills, poor decision making and poor awareness aswell. He is a battler and thats it. Exactly like Magner was for us. Fill a role for a year or two and hopefully by then some one more talented can take over.

Love his work ethic but for me he makes far too many mistakes and is quite slow aswell. We just cannot afford to keep carying blokes like him Terlich, Jetta etc.. They are nothing but just genuine VFL SANFL battlers who aren't up to AFL standard.

right now he is playing on the best or second best defender. That's a tough ask given his size. He's taking the bloke Garland would normally take. He is limited but I'm all for persevering with him.

And thats why I want Garland back in asap.

Good to see our our list of over stuffed peacocks slowly fading away. Honest battlers make me feel less frustrated and more confident and patient for future success.

Horrible skills and poor decision making would result in poor disposal efficiency, yes?

His D.E. is over 80% for the year. You're talking straight out of your arse.

He ain't pretty but he is pretty effective.

He wins his one on ones.

Let's see who he gets out of Pods, Jenkins, Lynch or even Betts this week and how he goes.

He's been seriously good defensively in most games so far. Day from Gold Coast was too big and athletic for him but most other match ups he's done a good job.

You can have a battler with average skills as long as they are good defensively and play deep in defense.

I think give Garland has been injured and Frawley playing forward that Georgiou has done a fantastic job for us so far. And I blame the lack of skill and run off the backmen a lot more on the small half backs whose job it is to mop up the ball and run. Of course I'd prefer Garland in the team over Georgiou but they aren't a direct comparison yet. We may still be better off bringing Garland in for Howe, Jetta or Terlich than for Georgiou.

Can't agree more, as a pure defender he has been our best this season.

Wish we could get more backmen who defend as desperately as this bloke.

I would have guessed his disposal efficiency was solid as he seems to know and accept his limitations and tries to operate within them.

Like what he has brought to the table and wish we had more of it.

Don't agree. Dinky little chips sideways in the backline that achieve nothing will result in a high disposal efficiency.

I don't mind switches of play, but his disposal is definitely "risk averse."

Absolutely spot on.

Still think that means he's doing his job.

Is it? What if his job is to make attacking moves with the footy, making the opposition work to defend, instead of safely chipping sideways every possession, making it easy on the opposition and giving them a chance to set up their structure to force turnovers.

It's something Dunn did a lot last year, and I think it hurt us.

What if Georgiou has been instructed to chip it sideways to a player like Dunn and Garland etc. so that they can make some space and fire off a laser 50m pass to a leading Dawes on the wing? Is that better than Georgiou taking the game on and turning over a 40m pass to get scored against on the rebound?

Roosy is all about playing roles and I reckon Georgiou is invaluable for his defending and ball winning skills in a contest, so he can dish it off to the quarterback types. I'm sure if Georgiou was actually capable of taking the game on and pinpointing passes he would be, but he knows his limits.

Who knows, maybe with more experience and confidence at AFL he will improve his skills enough to play that creative role.

    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

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
