AFL Round 9 - Non MFC Games 2017

How dumb is Cloke. Abuses the umpire and gives Selwood a free shot at goal. It kick starts there quarter. 

What has annoyed me about holding the ball this year is when a player gets a fist on it the ump calls holding the ball but when a player is tackled and doesnt get a boot on it they let it go. Then Murph gets a dodgy free kick against him when he did get a boot to it. 

See selwood still gets his high free kicks.

Clown 22 is new, but 30 and 29 have been running around for years, imposing themselves, spoiling great games. One thing is sure however, there will be no comment from the AFL - and 22, 29 and 30 will be running around again next week. (29 was the clown who gifted Roughead the critical free and goal that iced the game against us two weeks ago.)

Geelong are easily bottom 6 without Dangerfield and Selwood, possibly even lower. It'll be good when Hawkins, Selwood and Dangerfield retire in a couple of years. They'll be hopeless. Their kids coming through would have to be the weakest in the league.

Dangerwood were enormous. Hawkins looks heaps fitter, Taylor was great up forward, Duncan was top notch, Tuohy, Lonergan and Mackie very good in the backline.

When Cats turn up they are still a very, very good side.

Dogs are playing patchy footy.

Dogs footy relies on rugby scrum like pressure

Nothing against the Dogs but I would hate to see it become the norm

If that is a non-rhetorical question, it should have a ? after it, so I must therefore assume it is a statement of the obvious.

I'm completely bamboozled by the dropping of the ball rule while being tackled. Is it just not being paid anymore?

Unless you are Murphy (at Kardinia Park) and actually kick it.

Isn't umpiring an impartial type profession? 

Nope. Huge home ground advantage at all the non MCG / Doglands venues.

Dogs have got their premiership, they can wait another 50+ years for another one! :lol:

I haven't watched a single minute of this game but sounds to me like Geelong are ticking along without really showing much to terrify the competition. I wish we were playing them again this year, maybe we will!

    The premiership defender had his best year yet as he was given the opportunity to move into the midfield and made a good fist of it.

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Beautiful morning. Joy all round, they look like they want to be there.  21 in the squad. Looks like the leadership group is TMac, Viney Chandler and Petty. They look like they have sli

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    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.
