Vandenberg and Frost - wow!

And how good was Weid.    

Bring on the Kittens.

Should Harmes sit on Dangerfield - gee where has this unseen potential (from this punter) come from?!?! 

 

Lots to like about today:

  • Great tempo management, especially in the third term.
  • Terrific pressure all over the ground.
  • Excellent defence:  Looks like we have virtually abandoned the high zone and stopped the 1 or 2 behind the square.  Much more 1 vs 1.
  • We are following a more traditional 6 x 6 x 6 game structure.  Works a treat!
  • Fantastic effort being 2 down players down.
  • Composure +++ .
  • Add we kept playing till the very last minute

Great game plan modifications by coaches and equally good execution by players.

 

Finals @ the G here we come!

Great to have some strong form heading into finals. 

We really strangled GWS's run today and played the game on our terms. Keep that up and we will be difficult to beat. 


What a win.  The injuries weren't ideal but after the first 15 minutes we smashed them off the park.

Everything about this game screamed that we are finals ready.  The contested ball, the defence, the class, the synergy... it was beautiful to watch.  We had winners all over the ground.

Maxy dominated again and should go close in the Brownlow.

Our young midfield - Oliver, Gus and Harmes in particular - are sensational.  Harmes has had a brilliant second half to the season and he beat Kelly and won plenty of the ball himself.

Our defence was excellent.  Frost was terrific and our older heads in Jetta, Hibberd and Lewis marshalled the troops superbly.  It took time but our back half is working so well now with Lever not there.

Melky and T Mac were great up forward and Trac provides the X-factor.

Little Spargo, while he still makes mistakes, had a hand in a number of goals with class plays that put his tremendous footy IQ on display.

I can't wait to take on the Cats in a fortnights time.  We are a better side than them and I'd love nothing more than to pull their pants down and send them back down the highway.

DEMONS!

 

BRING ON THE PUSSYCATS. 

GO DEMONS

Agreed with these comments on formation. Although we're still played a zone for parts of the game we were much less inclined than previous weeks.

If you dont believe by now..........

Extremely encouraging signs from those three.  AVB is a strong, clever player who brings some real toughness to the side.  Frosty has been sensational and his run and carry, while also beating his opponent, has been a treat to watch.

And it's great to see Weideman growing in confidence with each passing week.  Watching him clunk those marks, provide a tough contest when in the ruck and then slot a last quarter goal was awesome.

Wasn't sure how this game would go so extraordinarily well played Dees, ecstactically happy with this!

Great synopsis and great sentiment for the next fortnight! God dees!!!

I'm a bit filthy the cats beat us on percentage to be honest…. 


Harmes did an outstanding job on Kelly.

What happened to Tyson?

They believe he has a small fracture in his hand/wrist.  No idea how long it will keep him out, or if it will actually keep him out, just yet.

  • 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.

    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.
