3 Good Things v Brisbane


Engorged Onion

Recommended Posts

Not to steal someone’s ip - but thought it was a cracker of a thread last week.

1. Hogan’s endurance and pressure

2. Hibberd was sublime

3. Somewhere somehow the momentum stopped - previously the other team would have got a goal or two in front. And then to jag 4 goals was a sign of something different.

1. Garlett proved me wrong and made amends from last week.

2. Oli was outstanding, he can win the brownlow this year.

3. The first half

  1. The 20 metre handball from Oliver to Trac in the final quarter putting trac into space
  2. Then the brilliant kick from Trac over the top of the zoning defender to Hogan
  3. The brilliant kick by Tyson to ANB
  4. Apologies to the much better kicks to Hogan's advantage , with Pederson being a good example

1. Oliver proving to me that he has the potential to be the best mid in the comp in the next few years. He is an absolute beast. They actually tried to tag him too. Freak. Best hands going around. Love him. Gingers 4eva!

2. Hogan back to beast mode. Really deserves some success, and seeing him up close on TV his attitude is much improved. When something doesn’t go his way he doesn’t sulk, or gets angry, he simply moves on. His second efforts were A+

3. Garlett. Hope you’re enjoying that can of Coke and bag of chips we gave you for him Carlton. Yes he is hot and cold, but stints in the middle really get him involved in games. He was superb and basically won us the game.

N Bullen improvement.

Gawn leading the show.

Away jumpers so much better than the white things of the past.

Lever so far, big disappointment. 

We only disagree on item three. I did not mind last year's white jumper. Royal blue reminds me of the horrible 70's.

1. Clayton Oliver lookslike he will be elite. He has the best hands in the AFL and looks like to be the best player in his draft year.

2. Gawns work when the ball is at ground level. He is a threat all over the ground, not to be underestimated. This makes us that much harder to play against when you have a 200cm guy who is willing to get down and dirty when the ball is there to be won.

3. Forwrds kicking bags. Jeffy and Hoges getting it done. Take the pressure of the midfield having to kick a winning score.

Last year we’d have lost that game, when they were coming at us in the last.

Clayton Oliver should be in the leadership group, when we needed to get going he stood up and grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck.

Jack Viney to come back in

Tom McDonald to come back in

Lever couldn't play worse if he tried

 

We could add 3 AA quality players soon

Is Lever being played in his best rôle?  I suspect that they as thinking of Hibberd as a second tall and Lever in his accustomed rôle of third .... failing to get the best out of Lever. 

Hopefully especially with Ugly Ben next week Frost will get a run leaving Jake to do what he does best (GF excepted).

1. The clash strip is outstanding. 

2. ANB remembering where he was at the end of last season and one of the comps best half forwards. 

3. OMac looking like he’s ready to move into the upper echelon of full backs.

1. Oliver going from strength to strength becoming an elite player of the comp (Parish who?)

2. Hogan has had a great start to the season and may it continue

3. Garlett back to his best after a quiet game against the Cats

    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

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol
