Opposition Watch: Elimination Final


Demonland

Recommended Posts


I really found it hard to scroll through this thread.. I think my pre-game anxiety is starting early this week..

I saw Brad Scott on 360 this week, flatly deny/dismissing any possibility that Melbourne might be a threat, he could only muster words to the effect “if we lose it’s not about our team or our preparation, but only due to a better team on the day”. I took from that statement, that he can only see us winning by luck.

I’m not sure if I interpreted his comments correctly or not, but it just seemed to wreak of arrogance.

I could not fathom the arrogance of them requesting a home final in advance while being outside the 8. Be in the position FIRST and then request it. 

I also hate the arrogance of their fans, they’ve been up for so long they’ve forgotten what it means to suffer and what it should mean when you get to be a part of September action. They deserve a long stint down the bottom for their arrogance but it likely won’t happen for a while because they’re a “destination club”.

The way I see things we have a chance to play Geelong and Hawthorn over the next 2 weeks. Those 2 teams have handed out more misery to us over the last 20 or so years than any others. I would love the fact we can wipe their a#$%s in 2 finals in a row. I hate those 2 clubs nearly as much as I hate the filth.

Tom Hawkins is a Finely lad, so I can't bring myself to dislike him. Plus he is actually a very nice guy.

Cant stand the rest of them though, especially Selwood and Chris Scott. Ablett is a great player but sooks to the umps too much for my liking.

After we win (thrash them) watch him come out with these exact excuses..

That will make our victory all the sweeter.

GO DEMONS!

Chris Scott -        if he keeps rolling his eyes probably go blind.                                                                 I like to see that!

Selwood     -         keep ducking for frees and you will eventually thump your head on the ground      I like to see that!

Hawkins     -         Don't smile for G sakes you will crack your face. Oh!   Fritschy owes you one.         l like to see that!i

    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
