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.

The big question for me is: Do I bother to watch it?

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.

    DERAILMENT by KC from Casey

    It wasn’t quite a trainwreck although at times, it sure looked like one, so I’ll settle for “derailment”.  The trip to Brighton Homes Arena in Springfield outside the back of Brisbane might not exactly be the same place where Homer Simpson’s family resides but, if you listened closely to the utterances of the Casey Demons fans both at the ground or watching via livestream, you could hear lots of groaning and plenty of expressions of “D'oh!” reverberating in the background, particular

    The Demons are back at the MCG once again and will once again be fighting for a spot in the Top 8 as they come face to face with Bombers on Saturday night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    VOTES: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    PREGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons return to Melbourne in Round 17 to take on the Eagles on Sunday as they look to bounce back from a devastating and heartbreaking last minute loss to the Lions at the Gabba. Who comes in and who goes out?
