Match Preview and Team Selection - Round 22


Demonland

Recommended Posts

I like it. Roosy basically saying if you muppets refuse to go forward spotting up a target and are so desperate to just bomb it in, let's see how that works for ya. I'll even give you every match fit tall forward on the list to bomb it towards. Go your hardest!

Presumably when this fails miserably the players will realise it's a waste of frigging time and they might start trying the actual game plan

Or just drop their bundle again and cease to function

when is the penny going to drop with Jack watts, the guy has talent to burn, a physique not all that dissimilar to nat fyfe, why can't he just show something and play out of his skin for once! So frustrating

He's far too well paid and content to bother putting in 100%

Well the boys flew in last night and I just had a quick chat with Nate Jones, who is just out on Langley Park having a kick with Gawny, Watts & Howe. You can see the ground from our building and I grabbed an MFC flag I had and they signed it for my young lad, hopefully that will be another incentive to keep him on board for a few years along with a solid effort on Saturday night

Got the flag signed for your son hey PSD sure u did!!!!

Well done.

dont mind the changes

Riley has shown he will be a good player but right now hes nowhere near fit enough

Another with a compromised pre-season. That he even made it back to senior's level this year is an achievement.

Rubbish changes. Not that we have much to work with.

Depressing.

I would think the opportunity to see Gawn, Jamar, Dawes, Pedersen, Frawley and Fitzpatrick all in the same side would be a little more alluring than that.

I don't mind we've tried something a bit different and gone tall. Not sure if it'll make much difference but eh, it's the end of the season. Why not? Good to see Fitzy and Pedders back.

I can hardly wait.

I'll be so high on post operation drugs I'll probably think they are all magical uncoordinated giraffes.

Fitzy resembles that when you're straight.

FMD we drop one bloke who actually gets the footy in Riley??

I know his disposal has been "Iffy" but FMD HE GOES HARD AND GETS THE AGATE!

FMD! GEEZZZAS

Maybe it's a fitness issue fence, big ground over there and perhaps that's what saved Matt Jones who was awful last week.

He is a guy that leaves me cold gs now I will admit I have not seen every game he has played but the best I have seen from him is average and most weeks he is less. As you say he was terrible last weekend.

I suspect the only reason he is still in the side is there is no one else better.

He had one game where we really saw what he could do. From that I think we've got a very good prospect, but he needs to be fit and consistent.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    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
