MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 21


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Lumumba, Stretch, Newton, Neal-Bullen, Harmes, MIchie and a very tired Brayshaw = too many players who don't get enough football. That leaves a huge amount for Jones, Vince and Viney to do.

Was 5th highest last week with 20 disposals the top was 29 and 2nd highest was 24, 4th highest clearances, 5th I %0 and 3rd rebound I50, most Goal Assists and should have been more but for missed goals. All from the second lowest time on the ground. Does not warrrant being lumped in with the others and a very tired Brayshaw.

Sunday has the Essendon game written all over it

  • Away game at the G
  • Opposition coming off a horror performance
  • We'll come in cocky and arrogant despite putting in a shocker as well
  • Opposition will fluke a 6 goal quarter while we bury our heads.
  • We'll play our token 1 good quarter of footy in the last qtr and lose by 6 points just to remind our fans that if we were switched on for more than 30 minutes we would've won easily.

Agree and just like daniher did, does anyone else fear Levi will suddenly find his kicking boot?

Newton hits the scoreboard and has way more footy smarts than Bail and Jones.

Happy to see him get another run at senior footy.

First time in his 15 games he's come close to doing anything though

I look at our side and question who is likely to put in a poor performance (due to age and/or ability) and I count way too many: Garland, Howe, Stretch, Lumumba, Michie, Dawes, Harmes, Grimes, ANB, Newton... not a lot of best and fairest votes for thst group this year. Could be another tough day I reckon.

Of course there are 8 blokes out injured, but there is every single week and nobody seems to care or even acknowledge it.

Just like Daniher did with the bombers against us.

U can just c it happening.

We bring out the best in oppo players who are out of form. It's like a special gift we have.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
