Finals Week 2 - Non MFC Game


Lucifers Hero

Recommended Posts

I wanted gws to win because I just didn't want to put up with another week of the filth and there fans. Now they could beat richmond and I could not stand it to see them in a gf. If we got through to play them it would be the most nerve racking day ever. I couldn't' stand losing to them. 

At least if GWS got through I could have enjoyed watching them play Richmond. I doubt they would have beaten them. 

Gee they just got off to a terrible start. I also noticed in the beginning the giants players would look at the pies player when a contest was about to happen. Instead of just focusing on the ball. 

I bypassed the final term because I could see what was baout to unfold, but in that 3rd term I saw Jeremy Cameron mark outside 50 and instead of going back just played on and blazed away. 

Toby Greene did nothing except flop all night.

Nailed it. 

Theres a lot of people here that are happy to flirt with Collingwood potentially winning a flag for the possibility of us playing them in a Grand Final and that’s fair enough. I can’t do this.

Cannot "get" Cameron as a player or person, but i reckon in the right hands he would be a gem. The rest of them would appear to be too spiritually minded for my liking....

Ha ha!  You are right Layz but If we are to win a flag I want to win it against a despised opponent who have a strong following.  Let's make it memorable.

But of course,  it's one week at a time (slaps oneself - back on the straight & narrow)

Well done to the pies a truly beautiful thing. ( Of course they will burn at the stake next week , but no matter)

GWS a basket case of course,  but also no matter .( Scully manoeuvre possibly the AFL and the individuals , greatest disgrace in AFL history and  both are  now woefully exposed as a result. Truly magnificent also).

GWS in great difficulty now like GCS and meanwhile Tassie  still plead.

Gill maybe you should call someone to help.

I hope Richmond beat Collingwood by one point and Eddie the [censored] is left wondering what a 7 day break might have meant...

I hope that Collingwood beat Richmond and play us in the Grand Final. At least we get the opportunity for revenge for the 1958 Grand Final when they prevented us from winning a record six consecutive Premierships (viz. 1955, 1956, 1957, xxxx, 1959 &1960)!

To beat Collingwood by a point with a Sam Weideman goal kicked after the siren would be a wonderful sight (especially if the cameras were all trained on Eddie McGuire)! ?

It seems Eddie's rant last week about a missed free to Cox has paid dividends: https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/a-number-of-touchy-free-kicks-against-gws-prove-costly-early-in-semifinal-against-collingwood/news-story/c8f3688c1ee1a1a1ff2b9e84aee8bfd1

"Collingwood received eight free kicks to the Giants’ two in the opening term.
Those included a number of contentious, “soft” calls — while the Giants appeared unlucky to miss out on some calls of their own... The most controversial fell on the stroke of quarter-time".

No wonder they raced to a 3.6.24 to 0.2.2 lead.  At the end of they day they deserved to win but that sort of umpiring can give the momentum to one team and can be energy sapping to the other.

Yes a Sam Weideman goal kicked after the siren, but as a result of a miss-kick out of the goal square by Jeremy Howe.

There would be nothing sweeter. Nothing sweeter at all!

Just hope I could make it to that point!

Oh God - my husband and I have already discussed this possibility. I don't know if our marriage would survive.....

Seriously though wouldn't it be great. For my general health I would rather have the game won well before the final siren though.

I’m with you.  Give me a 60 point thumping to the Dees.  No heart attacks needed.

Write GWS off at your peril, they were massively stuffed with injuries this year. I am glad we are making hay this season because they could be a bloody big road block next year. Reading about the new talent they have coming in kills me.

IF Norm just heard the name, and not the club for whom he is playing, he would turn in his grave like a rotisserie.

But if Weed could pull it off, would it be the final exorcism?

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
