Plenty of disagreement on Demonland but less personal attacks.

    Defeating the Eagles in Round 1 at Optus and me escaping the ground without getting punched in the mouth.

    Fritta to play every game, therefor kicking 50 plus goals. 

    I want to see either a Sparrow or Jordan fight for a regular spot, investment wise it was big decision to draft these types of players when it wasn't a priority so they need to start to push hard for selection.

    All of the above, esp. Steve McQ keeping his teeth.

    It will be great if one or both of them come on this season and it sounds like there's every reason to have some confidence that will happen. 

    Pick 27 and Pick 33 doesn't sound like a big investment to me, compared with say the pick 3 and pick 10 investment this year - "now that's a knife"

    What "types" are they and which players do you think we missed out picking there?

    Love to beat the West Coast in Perth round 1  convincingly to the tune of 10 goals and make that statement. Could set us up for  the remainder of the year.

    I like to see Petracca  kick 7 straight goals in a match winning display in the Queens birthday game.

    Being free of any major injuries.

    Dont get me wrong im not really critical of them, i just thought we had other areas we should have addressed rather than an inside mid and half back flanker.

     

    The investment is pick 6 for May and KK could have been King, would be very handy. but thats teh draft for you, full of what ifs. i just hope they can have an impact and show something.

    A game plan! 

    A system that doesn't involve hit-and-hope balls kicked to the top of the square. Or a system that doesn't press too far and leave opposition running into open, easy goals. Where the midfield are not bees to a honeypot and no one plays outside...

    Other than that. Players played in correct positions. Team selection based on form/fitness.

    Shepherding.

    Like, you mean a team mate getting between one of our players with the ball and an opposition player who's intent on mowing him down ??

    What purpose wouldn't that serve ??

    Shepherding, yes shepherding. That seems like a pretty good idea. Oh ...........and Weideman dominating a game at full forward.

    Depending on their size, I’d back myself in to handle a few of the Meth-Head’s anyway.

    In my case, I'd beat them in a fight by 50m.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
