The other game this weekend


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

well that was bloody enjoyable

nice to see footy without the rugby scrum. good skills

and better still, the dees win....yay

Marking and kicking skills were good for both teams. Handballing and awareness of being about to be tackled were the weakest points I thought.

yep marking and especially kicking were a feature

picking the ball up cleanly off the ground the weakest aspect generally

oh, and some of the tackling was excellent

Wow. Seriously? This is the level of Demonland now?

Total lack of respect shown to the girls by this website.

Even the thread title is a disgrace.... The other game... Why not MFC woman's game Demons Vs Bulldogs?

How hard is it to show our own club the respect it deserves.

My silly comments were made in jest of course but I am glad Stuie managed to pick me up on it.

"The Moral Arbiter" of Demonland FMD.

As for the game.

Great spectacle,and a very good standard of footy.

Well umpired and highly watchable .

Hope to see more of it.

Fairly brutal watching girls crack their heads open I must say but FULL respect to both teams.

Sounds a bit like "I'm not racist, but...."

Exactly the same.

The league cut the game by 90 seconds in the last quarter. No idea why. Even the commentary team was caught unawares. They said there was two minutes to go and then said "No its only 18 seconds" The clock still showed 90 seconds. No respect to these players. It was a very enjoyable game.

The game was running behind time. There was an obligation to finish the woman's game by a given time (for the start of the main match), probably a broadcaster stipulation.

Yes but the reason I have been told is that the Men required 1 hour warm up. FFS as if 90 seconds was going to make a difference. Should have dumped Mike Fitzpatrick's insipid presentation speech saying how surprised he was that it was "tough". Annoyed a fair few players with that patronising quip. You wonder about the AFL. 170 odd new teams registered this year. That's a hell of a growth rate which should be getting the AFL excited given the problems they are experiencing.

i don't see anything wrong with saying how surprised he was that it was tough

unless you have anything against honesty

i found it tougher than i had expected, and that is in no way patronising

we all know it is get fitzpatrick week, but to hang him on that comment is being over zealous

as for the excuse over the lost 90 seconds. pathetic by the afl. i bet the doggies were impressed with less than a kick in it

you only have to ask yourself if it was an afl double header, would they have cut the game short.....no fn way

Typical superior white male condescending attitude.

I've come to expect nothing less!!

    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,
