Settle glass half fullers.
It's only NAB cup.

Classic Demonland.

First half, playing poorly, "here comes another year of bad football".

Second half, playing well, "oh no NAB Challenge doesn't actually mean anything for the season".

So neither Frost or Pederesen have been great, but Pedo has kicked 2.

It will be interesting to see who gets the support role.

 

We just keep on going nice to see for a change

With all these frees to Maxy, he has one hand on the Brownlow.

And someone else's hand on his back. :)

I don't know about you but I'd rather we play well in the NAB Cup than play poorly.

What a tackle by Kent. 

Go U good thing. 

 

Kent! What a tackle!

Of course.

But it's classic Demonland to only think that poor form in the NAB Challenge is relevant. Poor form = poor season. Good form = still poor season.


Must have been one Hellova Spray at Halftime

fully deserved to

look what they can do when the ALL try and have the attitude...

hogan all smiles too...

Oh no! THINKING ABOUT HOW MUCH BETTER IT WILL BE IN FREO!!!!

Vanders though. Boy oh boy have we plucked a gem there.

Time to take our good players off the field. Would be terrible to get injuries now

Why both? Pedersen is a forward who can provide a chop out in the ruck.

Frost is a defender playing forward to provide a chop out in the ruck.

Considering neither have got double figure possessions I'd be playing one of them and playing an additional runner not 2 low possession mid size talls.

I've got the sound off. How's Dwayne coping?

He's been a bit more tolerable today. 

 

Were being pushed now will we respond?

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
