POST MATCH DISCUSSION - ROUND 1, 2015


Demonland

Recommended Posts

I want to talk everyone up, Lumumba hogan Tyson Viney Brayshaw Vandenberg Garlett garland McDonald great effort boys

If the advantage was allowed for Hogan, when Brayshaw ran into an open goal; and Frost capabilities on one of his two missed opportunities, then all 7 peoples who debuted for Melbourne today would of scored a goal. Compare that to last year.

Great to watch, been getting up at 3am for round 1 each year for the last 5 years (UK) finally worth it!

You too eh ... but you should move across the water, we only have to get up at 4 am.

A great day. So this is what it feels like to support a football team. A real football team.

Gee the new guys were good. Garlett could've kicked 5, Brayshaw lays 9 tackles, Jesse takes 4 contested grabs kicks 2 and split a pack to pieces resulting in a goal, Lamumbas goal couldn't have come at a better time, Newton snagged a couple, Frosty was solid and Vandenberg looks an inspired rookie pickup. I think the recruiting staff deserve a few votes today.

I would think about getting a white stick and a dog.

I disagree but wont make it personal

The guy who plays the man not the ball is usually the coward

HOW GOOD IS THAT! Still a lot to work on but they stood up when they needed too.

Kent is a tough hombre with a big future

Great start

wow just got home from the game. Firstly we have actually recruited players that can play.

Vandenberg and Newton. wow they just have no fear and go straight foe the ball.

Gartlett its so nice to see a flashy player put on a lot of defensive pressure. Missed some easy shots but impressed today.

Hogan finally saw what we already know. Just splits packs and kicked that important goal and he will be great

Watts just keep him forward every week. Rarely wastes the ball when he has it. Great game

Jamar was awesome in the ruck I thought. Hammered smith and did some great taps

Viney was great on ablett

Tommy Mac wow fantastic and if he could really kick he'd be even better. Dunn was great and today I forgot we even lost frawley.

Brayshaw just through himself in and layed some great tackles. so good to see someone do the number 10 justice.

Im just stoked for the boys and it was just a great atmosphere and the unveiling of the Robbie Flower win was a great touch.

That fumble by Ablett in the GOAL square in the last was priceless.

You can put that down to Jack Viney working on Abletts shoulder for the previous 3 and a half quarters. By that stage Ablett wasn't keen, or perhaps, even able to move his left arm hence the fumble

No voice left. For good reason this time.

What a performance. What a day.

Me neither P-man, and I was watching it on TV from 650 kms away.

I did a big "hoooooooray" in my living room along with everyone at the ground. I think my family thought I was a goose, but oh well.

You and me both champ. I'll be there in full voice next week when we go 2-0.

What a great all round performance. Not just the win, but the way they played.

Still buzzing. Phone has gone off. The amber fluid will flow tonight.

Key moment for me was when Kent's teammates stood up and remonstrated when he got clobbered. That tells us soo much about whats to come for this mob. Oh happy day !!!!!!!

If not gone the 'mental demons' and 'loser' mindset have faded. Largely due to only 7 players on the field today were there in our darkest hour of the 186 game.

Today we learnt how to win again! ;)

    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

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
