Rd. 22: Omen Watch vs Eagles

in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

The lady next door had a pair of navy knickers pegged on her line with red clothes pegs.  It was blowing a gale and they were hanging by the merest thread, but she fought against all odds, and managed to save them before they were blown into oblivion.  I thought to myself "now that's a good omen".

    Weirdly, i saw two people going to work this morning wearing a Demons scarf AND beanie.

    Probably cold and picked them up from the Salvos.

    So we will win 62 to 46? Or 6.2 to 4.6?

    My padel partner was a 4.1 foot Spanish girl if that helps clarify the tea-leaves.

    I find that the pre-match Demonland threads lack a certain intellectual rigour and brings me no closer to deciding whether we will beat our opposition or not . . .

    So, introducing Omen Watch:

    I was visiting the hospital tonight, in ward C5 (Petracca?) and noticed a digital sign which read 'U4 EG afl. los'

    I'm thinking it's bad.

    But a duck also died next to my house the other day.

    Maybe that's good?

    Umpires didn't pay high contact for ducking today. Case closed.

    And gee, this was pretty damn close WC 14.7 (6) vs MFC 16.12

    Uncanny.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
