POST MATCH DISCUSSION - Round 16


Demonland

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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
