GAMEDAY: Rd 08 vs Brisbane



Recommended Posts

Sorry but Weid just doesn't like the pressure when kicking with a deficit.  STILL a downhill skier.  When the going gets tough his kicking goes to water.

No composure in the 50.

We’ve kicked ourselves out of the game, every one of Weids kicks were very gettable. Bennell should’ve nailed his. We kick half of those and it’s a goal in it. 

Our own worst enemies, hard to watch when that happens.

Gerrard Healy is one of the most insufferable people to listen to, I could list a dozen examples but it’s just constant.

Weideman kicks those 3 very gettable goals and it’s game on. Him and Bennell just inexcusable. You can’t be a professional player and get paid hundreds of thousands of dollars and kick the ball like that.

Brisbane ruck grabs it in the ruck, takes on a player, tackled, no clean disposal. Play on.

Jetta has his head ripped off, gets a handball off, "Holding the ball".

Healey: "And Jetta ducks his head again."

I'm done.

Yep, Brisbane ruck Definitely  holding ball not paid!

Nearly threw the iPad on that non decision. FFS.

Being outclassed here.

To be fair if Brisbane don’t win the flag this year they never will. They are being handed it through time and circumstance.

Half our side can’t go at this level though. We are a middling side.

theyre not that good

The frustrating thing about this game is that despite the dreadful umpiring, the easy shots missed and continual errors on our behalf, we should be right there with them. Instead 3 goals down which is a really rough ask against Brisbane, in the wet, at home, when they are playing well

Weid misses 3, Bennell misses a sitter, Kozzie misses a snap from 20 out directly in front...

Don't forget the Langdon set shot from 40 out directly Infront

We should have won the first quarter by 1-2 goals and that quarter by 2-3 goals. But we're 3 goals down and the game is probably gone (only one side all year has come back from a 3QT deficit and that was pre-COVID).

We haven't been disgraced and IMO our defensive setup has again stood up well: the two goals we conceded that quarter were from a Jetta brainfade (he's had an absolute shocker IMO) and a throw in a stoppage following Bennell's horrible miss.

Too many what ifs (Weideman's 0.3, Bennell's miss, Pickett failing to pass to Langdon, Jetta's free against, etc.) to win a game against a top 4 side.

Love a please explain on the kossie dangerous tackle. 

Not going to happen, Melbourne have always been gutless in questioning the AFL about shocking umpiring. ?

Yes he is a G.Healy is right in saying its going to be back for his health if he get hit like that.  Mate fractured his neck doing that playing AFL right in front of m; 9 months of recovery ..

Somebody will need to teach me the rules of this game because I don’t understand half the free kicks that are, and aren’t, paid.

some consistency in what is a 15m kick would be nice too.

Umpires doing their best to kill just about any joy I had left for the game I used to love. AFL you have almost killed Australian Rules Football. Disgraceful.

    2024 Player Reviews: #35 Harry Petty

    Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.

    The son of former Demon Brownlow Medalist Shane, Taj added a further 16 games to his overall tally of games but a number were as substitute. He is slowly fitting into the team structure but without doing anything spectacular and needs to take further steps forward in 2025 for his career to progress.

    Bowey’s season was curtailed early when he sustained a shoulder injury that required surgery in the opening game against Sydney. As a consequence, he was never able to perform consistently or at anywhere near his previous levels.  Date of Birth: 12 September 2002 Height: 175cm Games MFC 2024: 14 Career Total: 61 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total: 6

    SLIP SLIDING AWAY by Meggs

    It was a sweaty, slippery night at Cazalys Stadium, a tough slog with low scoring and missed opportunities.  The Hokball Hawks hung on to win by a goal and sit second on the ladder, relegating the disappointed Demons to, almost certainly, finals spectators.   We had to win this match. When news broke of late withdrawals of talisman Kate Hore and key back Gaby Colvin, expectations plummeted, and Demon fans despaired.  The bad news was the signature song of 2024, a season that’s
