POST GAME: Rd 04 vs Sydney

Recommended Posts

It was a hard game to watch. We aren’t out of the woods by any means and we have a lot of improvement to do yet. But that was a gusty hard fought win and absolute credit to Jones. Led from the front tonight.

3.2 in the second half to Sydney on a small ground, with a makeshift backline... maybe I am being reductionist - but the system works, when the parts of the system work hard... (two way running, yadda yadda yadda)...

Just landed in Paris! Scrambled to get to my hotel to listen live....OMG! Picked up the last five minutes and the crew on 3AW were saying that the Swans were:

1. Out played

2. Being toyed with

3. Sinclair was cooked! 

4. And I heard Gawny's name and C Oliver's named several times

Fantastic effort! I love this team and Paris awaits!

Night all, soak it up!

     Nathan Jones take a bow  3 goals tackles great character from the Co Skipper.  You have your doubters but you    were one that lifted when it was needed. 

     Frosty you did the job and i hope that is a confidence builder that you needed. 

     Petracca you are back in town boy. Your knockers won't be happy.

The negatives. 

Sydney are rubbish. 

No Preuss no Melbourne and he definitely looks like he’ll miss a few. 

 

 

The positives. 

We won’t go winless this year. 

But seriously, Hunt and Petracca were very good, exciting and involved. Jones goal seem to be a release of pressure, we were free flowing after that. You just can’t completely shut out Oliver and Brayshaw. 

 

Overall i I still think we have big issues, especially defensively, but a good win against a [censored] of a team. Hopefully [censored] gets going from here.

I knew this was coming. It wasn’t a question of if, it was a question of when. 

Time to refocus. Sydney is not an impressive scalp these days but given the circumstance and the fact it’s was at the SCG makes it highly pleasing indeed. 

If we can get 3 to 4 on the trot now we are well and truly back in it. 

 

Go dees!!!!

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    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
