Did anyone else read that Selwood apparently told Jones he was the worst captain in the entire league?

Suck it Duckwood, you arrogant [censored]!. Look at the scoreboard! Your team is on the slide!

Today?

 

The best thing was that with our midfield so on top, our makeshift forward line managed to function as well. Spencer, Gawn, ANB and Matt Jones all made very valuable contributions in addition to the "genuine" forwards in Dawes and Garlett. The question on everyone's lips before the game was, "how are we going to score?", and in the end we did it more easily than we have all year.

The midfield is everything really.

Agreed. Hopefully the side now knows it can compete with anyone provided the midfield puts in the required effort. I mean, these stats are unheard of in recent years for us - we won contested possesions 160-131, we won the clearances 53-40, we won the possession count overall 356-299 (Geelong has always been a high possession side and we limited them to under 300).

The other exciting things is that the game style we're working towards is the kind of game that stands up in finals. We're playing hard, tough, contested football, but we've scored 113 points. That's phenomenal when you reflect on it. We're trying to slow games down, congest them, tackle hard, get in and under, and yet we're scoring more than we have in previous years.

Having watched a few more highlights, ANB's running is AFL-grade. Not just the physical effort but the brains of knowing when/where to run. Watts has improved enormously. Dunn's job on Hawkins was exceptional and is a welcome return to the 2014 Dunn, which we desperately have missed this year (helps McDonald on his off days). Dawes didn't kick a goal but his attack on the ball and his unusually clean hands (e.g. Jones' goal at the start of the fourth quarter) were impressive.

The improvement we've seen over the last 6 weeks from Viney, Vince, Garlett, Watts, Toumpas, and now Gawn, is important and exciting.

10pm and still no post match player interviews on the club website.. urghhhhhh


Firstly, how would anyone other than a player hear this, secondly, Selwood and Nate Jones are mates.

Good mates would say that to each other for a laugh anyway.

Nothing in it if it did indeed happen.

Good call.

Was talking to my Dees mad nephew after the game, and was trying to explain to him that I see Robert Harvey in Brayshaw. He had no idea, but was [censored] anyay, so all good.

Yeah!

Stretch is slowly becoming a weapon. He looks really flashy and evasive and he's not a bad kick either.

Dunn played perhaps his best game ever.

Credit to Dawes, even though he looked a bit proppy he certainly contributed for forward pressure and he held on to a couple of good marks, which is all he needs to do.

Also, one of the biggest surprises was Gawn and Spencer's pairing. Spencer wasn't amazing like Gawn, but he didn't lower his colours or look lost out there

Someone will be desperately unlucky next round if Jesse is fully fit.

And I don't remember seeing gut running from any MFC player in a very long time anything like that shown by ANB in that goal he got from the Watts handball. Amazing for any player, let alone a second gamer who really did appear last week to be not quite ready. He, and the whole team, can learn a lot from that one effort.

Don't want to be the one that jinxes it but how has Demonland not crashed yet?

Well done nasher and others.

Whoops...

Out of electronic 'earshot' until now, including even knowing what the result was! So, I think this post should now mean every Demonlander has now posted on this thread?!

And from me, then, ALL OF THE ABOVE! (special mention to the Neal-Bullen lad, of course!)

Great interview.

Love it when Jack says that Selwood was starting to get upset and throw elbows around.. "I love that $hit"' he says.

Everyone get onto it now before they censor it, haha!


The best win since an injury ravaged Demons won against the odds against West Coast at Subiaco in 1998.

Yep that's what I was thinking since quarter time "if we get up would be the best win since that Eagles game in 98". With our draw there's no reason we can't come home with a wet sail like in 98 as well as long as we continue to play tough consistent four quarter footy (well I can dream right?)

Agree with the rest of your post too.

The embrace and pure joy between Vince and Goodwin after the club song was excellent to see.

I reckon Goodwin will be a fantastic coach and the boys will love playing under him.

Anyone take a photo of the scoreboard?

Just high fived Gus Brayshaw and Nev Jetta. Pretty happy with that. Go you bloody redlegs. Made us proud today.

I got a few too. A couple of players even posed with fans

There's something about Goodwin I like as the future head coach. Maybe it's blind faith but he gives off a quiet, confident aura. He won't panic when the going gets tough.


Not getting too carried away. We only beat Geelong. They really need to look at their recent recruiting.

Watched the last quarter from behind the couch.

Brayshaw looms as our best mid since Flower.

Just had a look at the age profile of the list and geez the future is impressive.

Neal-Bullen 19, Petracca 19, Brayshaw 19, Salem 19, Kennedy Harris 20, Hogan 20, Viney 21, Kent 21, Toumpas 21, Tyson 21, Frost 21, McDonald 22. Wow.

Oscar McDonald 19

Liam Jurrah 26

He's probably the best player to get a head coaching job if you take out those who were gifted the role at their former clubs - a list that includes Roos but mainly I mean Voss, Buckley and Hird. Now that counts for little overall but I think the great players who were often great captains/leaders get respect and get the players to play for them very naturally. If McCartney helps him with the teaching then that's teaching and motivation ticked off which is probably 2/3rds of the coaching puzzle. When Roos goes maybe we can snaffle someone from the Hawks system for some tactical advice and we might have most bases covered.

 

Well done boys I thought we would get smashed.

Am o/s and have taped the game on my Foxtel remote, can't wait to get home and see it.

Go Dees.

  • 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.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
