POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 18


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Great win but can we now lose the split personality we have as a team and bring this effort every week, not the one we've dished up for the past 3

One of the top five games from Watts I've seen.

How about seeing him stream through half forward for a shot at goal from 40 at full tilt? He missed the goal unfortunately, but the intent was amazing. Would have lifted the roof off if he'd drilled it.

He's playing with great confidence now, and took it up a level with his intensity today I thought.

A new tactic. Eshew potential contested clearances in the middle. Lock it in down forward.

Thought that jokingly too. It helped us. They just reverted to bombing up the middle to Witts and Grundy all quarter. It was like watching ourselves. They had no plan B. We locked them in well.

Spot on Nash.

And to think the wider footy community potted him for dropping himself a few months ago when he was right out of form. He's been a different player since he did that and fits in with Roos' idea of the players taking responsibility for their footy. Wonderful to see him play so well today.

As good as the win was, we still made horrible, stupid, under 10s mistakes.

Roos coached well today, but at times he hasn't.

Loved Garlos reaction at the end of the game and then when waiting to walk off the ground the hug he gave Dunn was awesome.

I am a MASSIVE Garland fan.

He cares so much, and works so hard.

He isn't a perfect player but he gives you everything. His reaction on the siren was heart warming.

I hope they sign him ASAP

Im still confused

AFL website shows

11-11:77

07-12:54

Was that the final score?

We crashed the website.

It was a good last quarter.

COLLINGWOOD 1.4 4.6 7.10 7.12 (54)

MELBOURNE 4.4 6.5 9.6 13.13 (91)

Was good to c us run out the last quarter so solidly.

I was very worried at three quarter time (and during the whole bloody game tbh)

Watts is looking better and better as he goes on.

Gawn was gone at about the 20 minute mark of the third quarter. I thought they'd run over the top of us, but we locked it in oir forward line and ensure Gawn didn't need to cover too much ground.

Gus has got a special talent.

Bullen and Harmes . Last quarter in everything and not half hearted.

Gawn out on his feet at 3/4 time and helped well by 2 C'wood players now playing for Melbourne. Must have been good for them.

Senior players were well satisfied with that effort.

Great win. Should have won by 10 goals I thought.

They played EXACTLY as we did last week. Overused the ball, no support for one another, pitiful second efforts, erratic forward entries.

Great win.

I think that all the Watts bashing from the general public, media and some of our own supports will work in his favour.

By that I mean it is going to make him stronger mentally which is only going to complement his footy skills and brain.

Thanks for the scores. Appreciated.

Now, to get the AFL app working, to watch a replay, before i get too pizzed.

Well done to the confident ones who predicted a win. I didnt.

C'mon mate, can't even put it aside to enjoy the win?

We would have to be the most insufferable and ungrateful bunch of supporters sometimes. We beat the filth and the first thing you post is a negative.

A truth.

I thought this was a discussion, if you want only positive comments open a thread called "roses only, our shite don't stink"

I want our club to be ruthless, I'm enjoying the win, but reality is we did our best to stuff things up all game especially in the second.

I don't disagree with what you posted. It is a truth. One that is on display when we play far too often than we would like.

But we are so quick to get stuck into our players, sometimes rightly so and other times unjustly, that it seems harsh to come straight in and be negative in the first thing you post. The boys deserve praise for the way they played today, not a reminder of something that clearly didn't hurt us too much today.

What was Michies disposals, I didn't see heaps of him, but when I did he seemed to do well.

He's only credited with 6 disposals, but I find that very hard to believe. He seemed to get a lot of it in the first half. Maybe he had a lot of involvements that didn't register as disposals or something?

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
