Pennant St Dee
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

I went tonight and at the ground it wasn’t that hard to differentiate the teams

It was a pretty ropey game; pies got the early break and that was it

terrible skills from both sides; meth coke will feast on cats next week and pies will lose de goey and probably Greenwood

Very hard to see either going all the way

    Cats must apply pressure at the stoppages and stop the kicking game of the Eagles

    Would love the AFL to move the game to Kardinia Park

    If Geelong go out in straight sets, there'd have to be questions asked about Scott wouldn't there?

    Bloke has overseen a string of finals chokes already. His tenure has been masked by walking into a side that coached itself to a flag in 2011.

    I commend him for changing up their forwardline this year, but they rely on too few and many go missing when the blow torch is applied back the other way.

    Ugh the moment you wake up in the morning and realise the filth are straight through to a prelim. 

    Admittedly I didn't see the game but did the pies lose Degoey and greenwood before 1/2 time?  Seriously how could the cats not win and the pies didn't even kick a goal in the final term.

    The pie where Happy to defend in the last qtr they just went slow and sucked the game to death, if footy goes on like this year it will lose fans, has became a defensive game.

    The pies unlike us have shown they can be decimated by injuries and still play good footy. They are a switched on “one for all and all for one” side and not one led by two headless chooks.

    That's being a bit hard on chooks perhaps.

    Last night's game was boring. Turned the sound down and read the cricket rain updates in the Guardian for entertainment

    We’re back to a place where the only enjoyment we get is watching other teams lose.

    Love them or hate them, the Pies have a strong belief about themselves and good luck to them. That Elliott smother/dive on Bews from memory in the dying minutes was pure determination and team first football. 

    Most Geelong players looked like they had concrete boots on. Dangerfield carried them last night and he nearly pinched the game.

    Yep. Not often a winning side doesn’t score anything in the last Quarter. 

    Shows just how bad Jeelong were in the First Half

    The cliff is coming for the Cats. 

    It all looks good at the early stages of the season when the old stagers are up and running.

    They were the same last year in the finals against us. 

    Selwood, Hawkins, Ablett and Taylor all ineffective.  Just too old come the end of the season.

    Will be interesting to see how they play the Kelly trade. He's a good player.

    Top notch coaching by Buckley last night.  Down to 2 in last 1/4 with 4 goal lead managed perfectly.

    If only we had those types of thinkers inside Dees box.?

    Last year the cats only managed 6 goals against us and last night could only manage 7. That is not going to be enough next week against the eagles. Hawkins kicks 4 behinds. Not good enough from your key forward. If he was playing against us that would have been 4 straight. Even if he kicked 1/2 they would have won. 

    Anyway go bulldogs today and go brisbane tonight.

    Didn't think that goal review that went against the cats was so clear. Hopeless camera angle.

    I would have thought it to be umpire's call at best.

    Agree,  it was pretty hard to get enthused by that match at all. 

    Happy though,  very rarely do I want Collingwood to win.

    But then I saw Eddie prancing around and felt ill.

    Yep he won a premiership in his 1st year after inheriting a great team. He didn't create it. Questions would need to be asked if they go out in straight sets after finishing top.

    Empty seats at a final in Sydney. 

    Get this joke of a team out of the AFL. 

    very disappointing considering their phantom membership of 30,000

    The stadium only holds 24,000 according to Wikipedia

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
