GAMEDAY - Round 2


Josh

Recommended Posts

Frustrating that in all his time off and over the pre-season, Bugg is still a shocking kick for goal.

Good first half, we've been cleaner and it's shown. I actually feel like Brisbane got on top of us with winning the ball and didn't allow us as many clean possessions but they just don't have the finishing skills to make us pay. If we blitz them early in the 3rd quarter than it could be game over and we can cruise home.

Hogan and Garlett have been very good today and Bugg should've made the most of Hogan's hard work.

Brisbane remind me of the first year Roos MFC team. No question of endeavour, just ball slaughter after error after cockup, and suddenly you are miles behind when you haven't even been that bad really. 

Wait for the confidence drop to come next. We really, really need to bury them.

True Steve, it was poor.

I must admit that I didn't see you posting when one his kicks hit ANB lace out for a goal.  

Swings and roundabouts I guess, eh?

I also haven’t commented on any of the other shocking kicks he’s made so far this game under no pressure.

So obviously I have no care if he hits one or two.

They shouldn't have to learn on game day. They should be learning at training or at Casey. It isn't good enough at this level. Tyson's kicking, turnovers and lack of awareness hurt us as a side too often. Bugg just plain and simply is a sh*t kick.

Tyson wants to go backward at every opportunity. He was out in the middle of the ground and his first instinct was to give a 2 Metre handle back to Jones who wasn't expecting it and we miffed the chance . Horrendous. That said, he is providing more than Maynard. Harmes way off the pace at the moment

Whatever floats your boat, Steve.  Outside of one I can think of, and that turnover, he's been pretty good.

Bugg and Tyson need to learn how to kick 

Tyson hit someone (ANB I think) lace out off two steps from the boundary line which resulted in a goal. How much better do you want him to get?

Winning doesn’t mean cheating, little man. 

Or maybe it does to you 

You just like socializing with your boys, we get that

 

No you said remembering winners, everybody remembers these, we're playing well tonight aren't we, having a few social pale ales and watching on big screen

Try having a father that saw 7 of the 12 and an uncle that played in 3.

I was born just in time to think that a 5 win season was a good one.

The suspense is killing me: who was your uncle?

Bugg's goal kicking is 100% mental.

Couldn’t agree more. I love what Bugg brings and Tyson can be brilliant too but thier kicking will preven then from ever being exceptional

As Clint mentioned Wagner, Bugg (both of whom I don't rate) & Harmes clear bottom three. Hunt quiet but has credits with me as I'm a huge fan. The rest have been good. Hopefully two consistent quarters to come. 

Funny, I am starting to warm to Wagner, yep the odd error, but I think he's getting a few consecutive games to get his head around it. Bugg  presents really well and hassles (and I can forgive that miss, because every other player has also missed that kick) and Harmess, well, he can take a mark, I don't think he has too much of an ego, and is better than 'serviceable'... theyll come on in the second half (but then I guess they're just down hill skiiers)?? Agreed, let's hope the consistency comes for the second half.

If Wiseblood and Saty think you're right, yer right.

Plus he's been good, MFC confirmation bias in full swing.

You bought up a pile of cheats, not me

i have no time for cheating, my comments on the Essendrug disgrace were always rock solid. 

Let’s see how the Premiership Quarter stacks up

jobs not even close to being finished yet

See you have moved from Oscar last year to Tyson this year.. lol..

First game for this year and Tyson has been quite handy. Showing why he showed have been in the side last week instead of Maynard. You'll get the odd error from him, like Jones, like Viney, and like Petracca.. but he has a touch of class about him too which when on song, can be quite a dominant midfielder.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    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
