Triple M just reported that players sent coaches and staff out of the meeting room.  Suspect some sort of pact was being hatched! Players are really owning this - absolutely beautiful!

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!

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!

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.

Vandenberg and Frost - wow!

And how good was Weid.    

Bring on the Kittens.

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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
