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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #8 Jake Lever

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
