POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 12


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Called it at 5am. Max Gawn best ruxkman in the league. Struggled to pick a name to stand up before the game and a team effort burried the pies.

Look out GWS next year is ours

Fantastic stuff.  Some will lament some poor decision making at times, and we turned it over a little, but the intent and willingness of the players to run hard was simply fantastic.  This is not a fickle and soft club anymore.

Gawn was immense and the midfield smashed theirs.  Kennedy responded superbly and our backline was fantastic.  They make the odd mistake but the kids were alright today.  When the press works it works VERY well.

Our forward line was great as well.  Kent had a ripper, Hogan got 3, Dawes worked his backside off and Petracca... well... this kid is going to be something.  

And the cherry on the top?  Sticking it up the Pies!

It's a grand old flag. I need to apologise to my students for my total lack of interest in anything they have been doing. I just don't understand why the Queen's birthday is not a holiday in China.

GO DEES!

Yeah, I woke up at 4.40 am, had a coffee and called it at 4.57am.

Here we go, here we go!

Watching how debilitated the Rev has become due to his illness almost made me cry. Defeat the beast.

Gawn just...just...brownlow material

Dawes' mark on the hb line before our run of goals was the catalyst to our ascendancy, funnily enough. He was great.

Watts' game was closure to his horrid debut. I'm very proud that he is a Demon.

I'm now convinced that the Frost-as-forward experiment was a part of his development as a defender. He was fantastic at moments and so too were Hunt and Wagner. 

Petracca just gets better and better.

Trenners' mark and goal!

Go you mighty Demons!

Edit: congrats Nasher! Please go to more games.

Love it RTG my alarm went off at 430 but I was on the couch so took a while to "wake up"

I got a bit worried late in the third quarter, when we repeatedly turned over the ball coming through half forward, with no pressure on the player kicking. But Collingwood are sooooo bad, they couldn't capitalise. 

Apart from this hiccup, we simply out played, out tackled, out pressured and out marked them. Even when we made errors, and we made some shockers, our players charged back in and made it difficult for the Pies to get forward. We were bloody ferocious at the contest, and how good was our pack marking - brilliant.

Sorry I can't join the party most teams would have belted the pies by 10 goals.  Oscar was passable but should still be at Casey - he gave away 2 goals.  Jetta, Stretch & VDB were barely adequate.  Frost & Tom McD were lucky the Pies kicking for goal was poor.  Hogan dropped 3 chest marks.  Trengove is just going.  Lucky for us Watts, Max & Bernie had huge games & the Pies were missing a few players.

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
