Post Match Discussion - Never in doubt


Demonland

Recommended Posts

I'm sitting at work by myself, carrying on like an absolute lunatic. Had to listen on the ABC - can't wait to see the replay later!

We were at home listening to same broadcast, we had it up full volume, it felt like we were at the ground. We were riding every contest.

Was great to belt the song. I Wonder if the neighbours heard.

I really enjoyed the ABC coverage as it was. I don't listen to the radio often, but golly their commentary leaves Derwaine and co for dead.

yeah the commentary was more like old days commentary; more excitement, & less technical dribble. more spontaneous. its more engaging to the senses.

Mike Williamson would be proud.

Wowee.

As a very side note, watch Frawley's body language in the song. Lots and lots of camaraderie there - be interesting to see what happens next.

Well, I don't think he would have much of a case arguing that Roos hasn't met his side of the bargain where improvement is concerned.

I've probably only been to the footy by myself a handful of times and tonight was one of them. I watched from space station height for the first three quarters then went down and stood at the back behind the goals in the Ponsford for the final quarter in case the game got tight and I could drown my frenzied squealing in amongst similar pitch. I'm not really contributing anything to this thread, I just haven't had the usual chance to debrief on the game with friends and family on the walk back to the car, and have had to settle for vigorous hugs from strangers after the final siren.

That feeling immediately after the siren. Gold. Very proud of the team tonight.

Wow! What a game of two halves.

Dean Kent! Love that guy. Salem, never felt more confident that he would kick it.

Jamar. How does a guy get smashed in the first half then rebound to help win the game. A wiley veteran. And 2-1 all day and did the job.

We went from a deer in the head lights early when Essendon's pressure was so fierce to the hunter and we even let our pray sneak away right at the end before catching them again.

Really? I hate Bummer fans as much as the next guy but this is fairly mundane thing to do (try and put the opposing player off). Lucky Salem has ice in his veins.

I've also heard Collingwood do it, but no other club. It's mundane when the kick comes from a dodgy free kick, but in my experience exclusive to the pies and bombers when it's a potential game sealer from a mark. Just ugly supporting.

Was just interesting to see a lot of enthusiasm there - exactly the kind of excitement we need to get into the playing group, probably him most of all.

What a game I thought we were gone at quarter time, they looked terrible and in the second quarter they weren't much better, but after half time, wow what a difference.

There was no run in the first half and we just marked, stopped and propped waiting for something, I'm not sure what, but after half time they took the game on and looked great. That's what's been missing in all the games we've lost, but should have won this year .

They can do it and now they know they can do it.

We will some more games this year, starting with next week.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL

And to any melbourne supporter reading this, you have, and always will be irrelevant you snow seeking, sheltered, sidefringe wearing, collar repping, exclusively craft beer drinking, pea hearted bunch of absolute jerk-offs.

Well I must admit I am enjoying a lovely Tawny right this moment... Pip pip.

Some of this stuff is priceless:

Here's one:

"Is Hirdy back yet?"

or this:

"Another decade of mediocrity coming up"

:)

Some of it's pretty amusing too

this one was pretty good

"I'd call it the worst loss of the modern era. Even worse than all the other Melbourne losses."

Just watched the last two minutes vision. The chain of handballs were nice and I loved Crossy's pass, but the win by Pedersen in the back pocket and the rocket handball out to Jones, and the effort of McKenzie on the wing were the reason that goal happened. Well done lads, you just won your team the game.

Yes... if that comeback doesn't give them the self belief they need to start winning a few against quality opposition, nothing will.

nahhhh, would've won by 6 goals in the red'n'blue strip

You are backing a losing horse dc.

The writing is on the wall for all to see.

Red and blue has been a losing symbol for half a century.

White , red and blue is the way of the future.

Get with the strength dc embrace the glorious future.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie
