GAME DAY - Round 3, 2017

Featured Replies

They get on top for a few minutes and kick the most utterly showboaty POS goals ever. And their fans carry on like delinquents at NASCAR. [censored] ahead of me jeering Gawn when he was going off, telling him to man up.

 

We are smashing them.  3 reasons I'm swearing at the TV - Shite umpiring, Huddo commentating, and our kicking for goal.
Should be 30+ in front.

 

How many set shots did we miss that quarter? 7?

Gawn back injury again? 

Errors left, right & centre ...

1st Quarter ...

  • ANB misses an absolute sitter.
  • Vince gives away a deliberate OOB - goal to the cats results
  • 4 demons fly for the ball in the hot-spot - cats crumb a goal
  • Jetta mismatched against Hawkins - goal to cats
  • Gawn bowls over a cats player late - downfield free and a goal to the cats

2nd Quarter ...

  • Watts plays from behind in a one on one - cats rebound and score a goal
  • Smith misses an absolute sitter
  • Garlett should have grabbed the ball on the wing - he didn't and a goal to the cats results.
  • Harmes misses a very gettable shot a goal
  • Garlett misses a straightforward chest mark - another missed opportunity.
  • Stretch misses a very gettable shot at goal
  • Weideman misses a very gettable shot at goal
  • Gawn gives away a free with a crude tackle - a goal to the cats results.
  • Vince pushed off the ball far too easily in the backline - a goal to the cats results
  • Kent misses a very gettable shot at goal
  • Petracca misses a very gettable shot at goal

Despite all of the above we're only 3 points down. 

 


It doesn't look like our day in front of goal. We dominated them again that quarter but may have kicked ourselves out of it

I'd like them all to survive the storm. Mostly.

 

If we can straighten up, we've got them.

These shots on goal a woeful!

The umps are no better as they're clearly influenced by the crowd.

Several players also need to step up.


I think sooner or later we will land some of these shots and it's just a matter of trying to restrict the cats scoring

I'm generally not one to bang on about Tyson but he's been shocking today. He's not getting enough of it and also going at 0% efficiency.

Gawn out for the game according to 3AW, big role for watts now! keep it up jack

We can't buy a goal, let alone kick one, at the moment.

We were bloody lucky they didn't kick another one when OMAC decided to let the ball get through his legs (with lazy [censored] Tom Hawkins getting reward for no effort).

Like the endeavour Oscar, but jesus, stop giving me heart-attacks.

Have you not seen Deliverance? They're all there.

And the umpiring gifts

What's going on with Gawn?

I'm watching this from a loud pub in Lorne and the sound isn't working... except the sound of me losing my [censored]

Did they say what the injury is??

Should have kicked 10 goals that quarter. 

Could have kicked 12.

Smashed them

not sure just said knee, doc apparently shook his head so they think it is day over


Apart from the kicking for goal, we're dominating.  Selwood and Dangerfield have had little influence and we're swarming all over them the moment they touch the footy.  

For all of that, there is still lots of improvement to be had - if we kick straight, for one, then we could be 3-4 goals up right now.  We can fix this in the second half.  

I'm loving this sort of football at the moment.  We are taking right up to them and making sure we dictate the terms.  Can we sustain it?  Not sure, but it's great to see.

Hamstring apparently 

 

If we win this one, its will be massive.

 

Right in it.

 

Just cant resort to Melbourne of old.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
