POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 16

Recommended Posts

Who's the [censored] who kept saying we'd lose?

Me.

But seriously we were terrible today, our style of play relies on too much possession and opposition teams just walk through our tackles.

Oliver was back to his best who was a huge positive and ANB's pass to Lewis at the end is one of the most intelligent things a Melbourne player has done in years.

Plugger has been amazing, what a great month he is having.

We take the four points and move on.

I don't care how badly we played, WE ARE IN THE TOP FOUR!

My heart can't take it, but what a win that was.  Missing five of our best players and we can still find a way to win.  Just sensational.  I don't have the ability to analyse this game at all right now, my mental state is poor.  But I can't contain how happy I am with the footy club at the moment.  HUGE win under the circumstances and keeps us right in the fight, not just for finals, but for a Top 4 spot as well!

DEMONS!!!!!!

I'll put my hand up and happily say I was WRONG.

Can someone rate how the leaders went today? Obviously "Plugger" Mac did his role, how about everyone else?

Totally agree re Nev, 3 Votes, that was the best small defender game I have seen, under pressure with huge stakes, by my count he whipped that many Carlton players in an epic performance he should be called the Pharaoh.

Neville Jetta... WOW!

AA without a doubt at this point.

Tyson and Watts back in next week, we looked toothless around the packs. But still won! Cripps being off for a half was probably just enough.

A few there though on thin ice: Hannan, Stretch, Kent and Smith all fairly ineffective. It's all very well saying injuries give other players a chance to step up, but they need to (be able to) step up.

And can they just go ahead and elevate Nev to the leadership group? Has been huge this year.

That effort by Jetta was amazing.

Game winning.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th
