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! ;)

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
