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.

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

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.

How was that a free  going for ball

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

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?

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
