GAME DAY, ROUND 1, 2015

The Oracle
in Melbourne Demons

You'd think Bradshaw had played 200 games, so calm and collected.

Very impressive. Good day to be a Melbourne supporter.

Brayshaw already has 4 tackles, 2 frees - in which Jones played on from.

This kid is very good. Safe to say we've landed one off the bat.

Have you not seen Viney smashing Ablett every time Ablett gets the ball

Yes its been brilliant

We finally have a tough team, Aaron Vandenberg has laid some big hits!

That goal from Garlett..... all i can say is thanks Mick malthouse


Garland playing his best game since 2013. Brayshaw and Vanders look they've both played 100 games. Positives everywhere at the moment. Need to keep this up.

Loving all the new recruits - very impressed so far. Keep it going Dees!
 

Please keep it all coming.

Hanging on to every word in SAIGON. Bars that showed Tigers apparently don't subscribe to second string Foxtel network we are on.

Afl site crashed - no scores and Demonogy feed not working.

No comaints from me if we're in front - but please keep up the live commentary and scores.

Our biggest weakness over pre-season has been consistency of effort from one quarter to the next. This one is far from in the bank. First goal of the second half would be huge.


The transition is a lot better this time around. We just need our forward line to gel so we can convert some of those chances.

Jamar and Garland back to their best.

Most fun I've had watching a half of footy in a long time, almost don't wanna post this because I'll jinx the rest of the game.

Garlett should spend a lot more time in the middle as the year goes on.

Brayshaw having an excellent impact on debut, should be a thread about it...

Lumumba on the wing is excellent.

I'm not worried about Viney on Ablett, no one will do any better and Viney is more likely to hurt him than anyone else.

We look classy off half back for the first time in a long time. No Grimes holding it up for 15 seconds then chipping sideways.

What I'm most happy about is we're going hard as [censored], and putting a score on the board.

Come on Dees keep it going!

This is where we learn if we are a a changed Melbourne.

If we can keep the lead and extend it, put the foot down and lay some big tackles.


At what point is the coach held accountable??

Give him a break. It's Rocket's first game in charge.

That was a great quarter no only did we absorb there run we scored in red time now we need to bury them I jus don't want a close win I want to smash them

Col Garland looks sensational. McDonald doing well with the odd disposal hiccup!


Loving TMac's game. He's plucking everything. One bad kick but the rest have been solid.

Jamar and Garland back to their best.

Both have been very handy. Pity Russian didn't snag that last shot on goal but he's been massive in the contest.

 

Whats impressed me the most is the crowd

Full of energy very vocal and really getting behind the team love it

One thing I've noticed this game is that our tackling technique is miles better than I can remember it being before. It used to be that only Jones, Jetta and Viney could really tackle with the correct technique. Now I feel like everyone can do it (with a few exceptions of course—it's still a work in progress).

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
