POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 12


Demonland

Recommended Posts

Well learnt a bit from this past weekend.

Some of you who know me ..or have paid attention  ( and fair enough...most dont )   would recall Im surrounded  in a familial way ( as well as many mates ) with Pie supporters. Though I use the word 'support'  in its flightiest manner here I feel.

Getting over a cold I sadly chose not to venture to the G on Monday..I watched it with a very good friend...a Pie. He was very  matter of fact as the game progressed.  Though his alcohol consumption increased with every goal against Collingwood .. Must confess I know that effect.

I have 5 Brothers in Law......all Filth   ( as are theladies but lets talk of the supposed men here )   Not one is actually a member...albeitly they do have all their won teeth so possibly arent that welcome.  One is an MCC member though.

One switched off a 3/4 time One didnt even watch..One was out of the country at time...( I take that as just couldnt bear it )    One actually PLAYED for Collingwood....didnt reply to texts. One lives in NSW  and I think quietly disowned them but hasnt told his siblings.

They as well as others will swell my wine supplies nicely as they pay up bets over the coming weeks.

I maybe only ONE amongst the rabble in this family.....but my read...One Dee is better than 5  Filth    but then we always knew this ;)

Not sure you told us anything new in that last line bb.

However any story about Pie supporters suffering is worth reading.

The way us and them are going in opposite directions this year your liver would be forever grateful to be only playing them twice a season.

We are sitting 8th for highest 'Home Game attendance' averages so far. Up 7 places from our 2015 average rank of 15th.

Of the Vic clubs we are presently ranked 5th. Last year we finished last. 

Since last year we are up 10,000 per home game and have leap frogged the following Vic clubs ...

Roos, Saints, Dogs, Cats and the Blues!

 

Does that include our game in Alice Springs?

unless i've missed it, no-one has commented on the 2 soft deliberate oob's paid close to the boundary

thought they seemed more about the ump being influenced by the crowd and seeking some limelight. shocking decisions

The Bugg one was as deliberate as they come. He knew it, you could see the look on his face. 

What was the other one? I think Oscar actually was called for holding the ball not deliberate. The umpire just missed the high contact where Oscar got a whack across the face, otherwise it would've been holding the ball.

The umpiring was strange. It started out with them paying absolutely nothing in the first quarter as the Pies threw the ball around and Melbourne players were infringed, then as the game went on they started paying more, particularly more holding the balls.

The did an ok job. I'd prefer them to miss a few than pay too many. But there were the usual bad calls. IMO Hogan should've got a repeat shot for goal after he was slung to the ground after he kicked.

All true M. , however me and my boy still needed the blanket across our legs like two old grandmas. Didn't stop us waving the flag 16 times!

Was reportable in my view.  Certainly should have been a second goal.

Made no sense to me, when i watched the replay it the umpure clearly said he paid "a dangerous tackle and advantage" even though it was clearly after he kicked it. I was under the impression that you cant pay advantage before the free kick occured.

Arrived home from the game with the rest of the family to realise that I hadn't recorded the game. Had to wait until 10:00am next morning for a replay, we were even better than I had remembered!!! I have read most of the posts but just feeling to happy to comment on any aspect of the game except to say - Go you mighty Demons!!!

When you factor in the fact that we've had home games including GWS, Brisbane, St Kilda at Etihad and Port in Alice Springs, that is a higher achievement.

The ANZAC and QBD games help, obviously. Let's hope next year we can add a Friday night home game, or maybe (heaven forbid) a home game against Essendon or Carlton!

just had my first look at those 2 incidents on replay (as distinct from at the ground - at distance)

thought the bugg one was a bit stiff but maybe he could have made it look better. didn't think it was deliberate just trying to keep ball away from opponent

the omac one, think you were right, paid for holding the ball not deliberate oob

Let's be honest Collingwood aren't much chop, it was a good win but we played an undermanned Collingwood team.

They had 22 players on the field. Same as us. We were better than them. A win is a win. End of story. Enjoy the win FFS! We've been fielding undermanned sides for a decade.

Settle down chief. I did enjoy the win but let's not get too carried away, we had a full strength team vs their half strength team.

A win is a win is a win.You can only beat the team you play. We played a hugely undermannned Essendon and looked like fools.

 

Take 'em where you get em

That's where it ends though. You could perhaps mount a case for m jones heing best 22 but apart from those you've listed that's it.

Only Geoffrey Robertson could mount a case for MJones as best 22.

Hypothetically speaking .

It was a beautiful winter's day in Fed Square pre-match, standing in the sun.  At 5pm in the dark at the MCG, I was freezing my chops off.

    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.

    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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club. Date of Birth:  22 July 1997 Height:  189cm Games MFC 2024:  21 Career Total: 183 Goals MFC 2024: 3 Career Total: 54 Brownlow Medal Votes: 5

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury. Date of Birth: 4 J
