Melbourne Demons wash up

Featured Replies

 

just having a lend of us surely

 

A good point about supporting this club, it would be very difficult to become worse than they already are.

On a beach somewhere.


Need leg speed and better kicks. Can't argue with Gaz.

And good to see his heart out on his sleeve.

In all seriousness though...who is that bloke and what has he done with Barret ?? lol

I actually agree with him ( need to shower now)

The chopping block needs to be resolute and the knife sharp !

Terlich, Bail, Fitzpatrick, M Jones, McKenzie, Garland, Grimes, Dunn, Howe are all players I expect to either be sacked, traded or sign elsewhere. I have liked Grimes but imo he might seek time at another club. Wouldn't be surprised if Dunn requests a trade.

Watts is another who may entertain a trade but I'd like to see him stay.

 

We've improved the last two years. No reason to think that we wouldn't improve again. Can't wait to see Trak. Love his size.

Not much I disagreed with in there, particularly Barrett's simple comment of "more wins". It's sort of like saying "we have to score more than the opposition" but it's true, we can't afford stupid losses like the St Kilda, Essendon, and Carlton. We just have to win games and get positive emotions around the club, especially the young guns who will be driving the club forward.

Speed and skills as Gary said must be a priority in the trade/draft period, a jet like Stringer is exactly what we need (hopefully Tracca will be part of that).

It's positive, but we're on a knife edge.


Add Prestia, a fit Pedersen for structure, one or two pick ups like McKenzie, natural improvement from our younger guys and we'll win 10-12 games, IMO. We must eradicate any blow outs though and close the gap between us and the top 4 teams.

If Watts and Dunn have stayed this far - they won't willingly leave now I wouldn't think.

Still in shock they both said we will go up next season Not because we wont but because Damian Barrett and Garry Lyon said it.

And I love the Petracca talk, something for us supporters to look forward to for sure.

Dunn said after his last contract that he will be a one-club player and is very happy about that. He is signed up for the next 2 seasons, which takes him to 30.

Spoke a lot about the positives of our season and not a lot about the negatives, very nice to see. Is Petracca a fast player? If he is i would be surprised, oh and dont forget JT is coming back too.


Garry's passion and love for the Dees showed when he talked of crying like a baby while watching the Geelong game this year.

It brought home to me that when he makes critical comments of the Dees he is only doing his media job.

He loves, hurts and cries along with the most diehard of us Dee supporters.

Dunn said after his last contract that he will be a one-club player and is very happy about that. He is signed up for the next 2 seasons, which takes him to 30.

I think having Frost back, allowing Dunn to be the third defender, will make him look a lot better. Still don't mind him as a player and his 2014 was very good but he can do some very dumb things.

Always has a crack though.

Agree. We have won a few games unexpectedly this year and lost games we should have won to improve. Wins over St Kilda, Carlton and Ess would have shown us as exceeding expectation this year. Must win those next year.

4/10. The Demons took strides forward but every time they looked like taking a definitive step, they were held back by inconsistency. The young core is developing nicely but the list requires major redevelopments before finals come into the equation.

Harsh but fair I thought.

One of the more interesting comments was: "Lumumba's role was undefined and he struggled mightily because of it."

I don't know where Ben Guthrie got that but if true quite and indictment on our coaching staff.

Hate to be pedantic but 'redevelopment' is the wrong word. Geelong needs a redevelopment. We need to stop dealing with shoddy contractors that stall building works.

If 10 is a premiership then 4 is about right. 6 or 7 would be making finals. Hopefully next year will be one of those seasons for the Dees where a team makes a fundamental gain because they had been so close to significant improvement but had been waiting to turn over the last few NQR players, trade well and find consistency

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    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

    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.
