Around the League Round Seven


Maple Demon

Recommended Posts

One of the key reasons structured defensive footy like the Eagles' doesn't win in 2016, is because teams are moving the ball so quickly. The Eagles can't set up their defensive structures.

I thought they made a big show a couple of seasons ago of saying they were going to fine players or award free kicks for staging. Whatever happened to that?

Wait for it when we do our first obvious stage. I think we are the most paid against for deliberate out of bounds. Some of them have been absolute shockers.

The guy has a shocking attitude. Came in full view in last years final versus North Melbourne. The bloke wasn't even trying.

Jetta looks a shadow of his best days at the Swans.

Watch Everitt at about the 25 minute mark of the last quarter. Drops his third simple mark for the quarter, doesn't chase or put pressure on and then puts up his hand as if to say sorry.

If Bolton is fair dinkum he is out next week.

And after all his whinging about that meanie Paul Roos for playing him in defence last year, when all he wanted to do was lazily hang in the forward line waiting for the midfield to do all the work for him. After all, didn't Bucks promise Howe that his defending days were over at the Pies?

Dear oh dear, we have sold them a lemon! :roos:

Their supporters are waking up to it too.They're not too happy with their boom recruits Howe and Treloar.

Given the players they're now missing, not sure he can do much more than he's doing. The group does look disillusioned though.

Have the Bulldogs been outside this year?

Nope. Next week the Doggies will look at the sun, get scared that something so big and bright could exist, and lose.

Defender had his head ripped off, nothing.

Thompson grabbed the ball, tackled by two straight away - holding the ball.

Stringer runs with the ball, tackled, ball dropped - play on.

20-5 dogs way, the crows captain should approach the umpires at the break and have a quiet word to them and ask what odds they got on tonight's game.

Blatantly against the crows tonight.

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm
