Around the League Round Four


Maple Demon

Recommended Posts

For our sake next week, I genuinely hope the Tigers get up tonight.

Why on earth would any Demon supporter want us to play against them after an entire week of media shitestorm following a belting and 1-3 season start? Those are the exact games we always manage to lose.

If they win tonight next week will follow a familiar script: Tigers will get way ahead of themselves after defeating grand final contenders then waltz into next week expecting a walkover. It's equally as predictable from the Tigers, and would be the perfect chance for us to strike a "surprise" win.

I'm looking forward to our game of course but tonight could be interesting (West Coast vs Rich*) along with a few other notable encounters ... Adel/Syd Sat night,  North/Freo (Sun Twilight) & the early game on Sunday (GWS/Port)

The Hawks/Saints match might be a decent game if St Kilda can play as well as they played last week.  The free-to-air games on Saturday are a bit dodgy though ... I can see a couple of big wins to the Cats & Doggies.

 

*As DA noted above, the Tigers won the encounter in WA last season but I reckon the Eagles will win this time around.

Anyone see that play with Fostin tackled well after he lost the pill? Semi sling tackle. No free. Rance pushed in back while on ground then someone sat on his back and rolled over him then he was clocked in the head by Kennedy. 3 frees on the one player. NOTHING!

Watch as the Umps put the whistle away on the Tiges to get Weagles up by four or five by the main break. So predictable.

31 inside 50's to 6 before half time! It is getting ugly.

Before the game Hardwick was reminded by reporters about Richmonds recent form over west (which to be fair has been good), it's as if he thought it was just going to happen again. I would of thought a response of something along the lines of "it counts for nothing" or "our form has been poor this year and we need to be at our best tonight" would of been more appropriate. There was no sense of urgency in the way Hardwick spoke, not sure if he's lost the players or just simply has himself fooled.

Hampson crippled. Might miss round 5. Wonder if Vickers is scared of what WCE might do to him if he moves into the ruck, especially after his hit on Big Cox a could of years ago.

And he's a staging actor as well

Tigers are playing like us from a few years aho at the moment. 21-4 inside 50s. Tigers suck and it's glorious. 

Tigers are handball happy tonight Wise. Might work some of the time coming off HB but as you know you eventually have to hit targets at the end of some early good use of handball into the clear. Failing pretty badly at this part so far. Undoing all of their good early work.

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #39 Koltyn Tholstrop

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
