GAMEDAY - Round 20


Whispering_Jack

Recommended Posts

This umpiring is an absolute [censored] joke. I don't normally give a [censored] about umpiring but [censored] these [censored]. 

 

Apart from that, what a ripper game. 

Some of our ball movement would destroy a lot of other teams, but Hawthorn are always right with ya and cause that last fumble. We're getting there. I think we'll run out of steam as usual, but I hope the intensity stays.

For those who are saying look how good we are going without Hogan, may i remind you that Weideman is a more natural lead than Hogan. Weed knows when to time his run when the ball is coming to him.

Jesse is a natural CHF. He wants to go to the ball, not wait for it.

We all support Melbourne.  Of course it's going to be biased and emotional.

I will, better comments on forums with neutrals without the biased emotional garbage whinging about umpires every comment.

And just quietly, the reason everyone is so frigging angry about it, is because we have a fantastic young team, who desperately need a big scalp, and who would be five goals up at half time against the probable premier but for some absolutely disgusting, unfathomable decisions.

If you don't like it, nick off to BigFooty and talk about the game with West Coast supporters or something.

Not worried about the umpiring. Just focused on the MFC and loving what I am seeing. 

How exciting is the Weed? Getting some serious love in this house.

He looks like a natural footballer.  Couldn't have asked for more in the first half.  Hoping he doesn't tired too much in the second and continues to provide that contest.

Give him another couple of years, hopefully playing alongside Hogan, and we'll have one damn fine forward line on our hands.

Can someone watching on TV please tell me why Rioli got the free kick after the Oliver bump?

Hunt got him over the shoulder. 

Paul Roos absolutely lost his [censored] at the one after that though - the one where he blatantly ducked into Jones' tackle and got rewarded.

When we have Hogan leading up the ground and making himself a big, strong marking target across half forward, with Watts and Weed back, we'll be unstoppable.

Both in the same team would be nice

12 touches and [censored] knows how many clearances for Oliver in that quarter.

He had 6 clearances that term.  Sensational stuff.  Love how quick he is with the ball in terms of making a decision.

The umpiring is horrendous. It feels like every time we get a decent buffer up they get a shocking decision and a goal.

It's ruining an otherwise entertaining game. We're playing at a high level with some really good ball movement and, most importantly, intensity at the contest.

I hope we can keep it up for 4 quarters. Limit the turnovers and a bit of luck with them not getting goals from frees and we can do this.

A lot to like regardless, though.

I doubt it.I think garlet and pedo need to start kicking goals.

This could be our sweetest win in eons. Go dees.

And he's kicking the ball. Clearly, they've told him to focus on gaining some territory and being a bit more damaging with his disposal. He's obviously worked on it, and he's killing it.

Agree,  I am normally emotionally detached when watching games  just watch the footy   but now nursing bruised right hand from smashing it into chair in front of me after one umpiring decision

I don't condone violence in sport, bit somebody needs to knock Rioli into September. He's become a Hodge and Lewis. Dirty fuc&a.

He was tackled high. It was there, but somehow they miss almost everytime we get hit high. Reckon Bernie has a broken nose, no free though. Jetta copped one on the siren as well. He was wobbly getting up, he may be concussed again. [censored] hope not.

Hogan and Weeds in the same team today would've been good.

    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

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
