Happy so far.

There is more intelligence going forward which is good.

I'm also impressed with the Weed thus far. He seems to be clunking them thus far.

Weeds best half of footy (other than the complete miss from 35) for the club.  Very impressed and hope he can prove me further wrong in the 2nd half.  I reckon if he does we win this quite comfortably.

    We’ve been a bit fortunate so far. We’re doing far better than I thought. Still I think this can turn against us really quickly. 

    Unrelated, I’m having s lot of trouble posting here. Takes forever to load and often crashes.

    The same people who said we weren’t a chance before the game are complaining that we’re not further in front. Classic Demonland. 

    Yep.  One of the most infuriating things about this board, but it's probably true for most supporter bases.

    We will revisit in a year or two Dazzle I have some doubts but …..??

    Why people think it's a good thing to write off a kid 12 games into their career is beyond me.  Look at someone like James Harmes - he hardly set the world alight in his first 20-30 games, yet he's now a crucial part of our side.  Spargo is a kid with so much time on his side it's not even funny.  He has shown enough this season to suggest he can be a long term player for this club.  Why don't you get behind players for a change instead of cutting them down at every opportunity?

    A lot on this site said as much but clearly he is the selectors Lurve child!

    Yes, because selectors just queue up to select players who aren't up to it.

    Seriously we don’t have one forward at the moment you would feel confident about kicking a set shot goal.

    IMo there’s plenty going right but clearly room to improve. Some critical misses late in the second (Petracca getting too close to the man on the mark was a shocker). But they really lifted in that quarter, they’re a huge second quarter side, and we didn’t just hold them but we won the quarter too. And one of their goals was the worst free kick you’ll ever see. 

    It’s fair to call it as it is, they missed some chances, we missed some chances. Our whole year is a story of missed opportunities, I think it’s about time we actually took those chances. 

    I agree with most people’s assessment of Spargo, he needs a big second half. Otherwise he can’t surive another week. I’m sure the coaches aren’t oblivious to it and will be giving him a rev up. 

     

    Same story though, wasteful bombing inside 50. Makes all our hard work even harder

    Just now, Mickey said:

    That was a shocking free. Both had eyes for the ball, AvB didn't leave the ground, Cripps put himself in that position. Absolutely shocking call that cost a goal

    Apparently he was reported for it as well.  Absolute joke.


    Chances. We should be 5 goals up. 

    Harmes. Jonesy. Tyson. Petracca. Weideman. All missed (2 points. 3 out of bounds). Excluding Petracca shot, all were 25 metres out. Please kick the goal. 

    Darling ruled out so they don’t have Naitanui, Gaff and their two key forwards.

    If we can find a way to lose to WCE in that situation then Port Adelaide or North Melbourne deserve to be in the finals ahead of us.

    End of story.

     

    Right, I'm logging off for another half.

    I'll see you beautiful bastards at the end when we've won.

    Somehow T Mac needs to get into the game. Been quiet for a few weeks now


    Oliver is supreme, and that was a great composed kick from Kent.

    Exactly what we need.

     

    Weids doesn't look like he can kick very well. Any VFL experts know enough to say otherwise?

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
