POSTGAME: Rd 07 vs Hawthorn


Demonland

Recommended Posts

That was 4 quarters of absolutely magnificent footy.

*Insert OTT hyperbole here*

 

Our kids played really, really well, and geez hasn’t Trac arrived.

Weed was a genuine target on the lead as well. I loved his whole game. Great signs.

So many good players today.

1 Vote for everyone.

(North might just be starting to fell a tiny bit nervous too haha)

 

IM AM SO PUMPED I FEEL LIKE THE MICHELIN MAN.

 

GO DEES!!!!

Win and get the four points, lose and get no points. Make no mistake.

I think if we can get ahead and then be in front when the game finishes, we’ll win. 

 

Uncanny accuracy. It's either the luck of the Irish, or the kid knows his football

Dees by five goals.

Jackson to surprise with 2 goals.

Weid to kick 3.

We will keep the Hawks to no more than six goals.

Yes, I'm probably partially drunk.  Maybe.

Whereas this chump can't even get the margin right

 

(But feel free to keep drinking, please)

To everyone - enjoy it.  While it's only a win during a long season, smashing the Hawks by 7 goals is something you can't ignore.  They have embarrassed us so many times over the last decade and now it's our time to start paying them back.

Trac was sublime.

Gawny stood up as captain and dominated all day.

Viney and Oliver were awesome in the engine room

Jackson was the right pick and was terrific.

Our backline made them look ordinary, and they have been building to this for weeks now.

Everything is starting to come together and it is exciting to watch.

Go Dees!

Even the most negative demon fan couldn’t complain about that. First class performance all around.

Obviously our best game since the 2018 SF.

We won all four quarters. We weathered their initial storm, then we weathered their early third quarter pressure.

Weideman growing with confidence (would have loved him to kick that final goal). IMO a clear tick for the two tall forwards gameplan.

Gawn unbelievable, Petracca likewise. 

Our defensive zone is clearly working: sides are struggling to score against us provided we don't turn it over. OMac, Lever and May all worked well together again, can't deny that trio is working well.

Langdon has been great all year and the more we learn how to use his gut running and space-saving on the wing, the better we get.

I haven't enjoyed footy this much since 2018. Hawthorn might be a bottom 4 side this year but we outplayed them like a finals side should.

    TRAINING: Tuesday 28th May 2024

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatcher Kev Martin returned to the training track to bring you the following observations from Gosch's Paddock this morning. Beautiful morning for training. The dew has dried, out from AAMI, quiet chatting. Maysie does his heart symbol. 7 in rehab, Turner, Hore, Sestan, BBB, Petty, Spargo and Schache. All in runners. Melky weighted and change of angles work. Salem has his individual program. White cap (no contact), Howes, Woewodin and Sparrow

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w

    POSTGAME: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    After a very wasteful first half of footy the Demons ended up cruising to a clinical victory over the Saints by 38 points at the MCG and ultimately reclaimed a coveted spot in the Top 4.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 11 vs St. Kilda

    It's Game Day and after 2 losses on the trot the Dees must win against the Saints today at the MCG to keep in touch with the Top 4. A loss today will see them drop out of the Top 8 for the first time since 2020.

    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
