POSTGAME: Rd 08 vs Brisbane


Demonland

Recommended Posts

That Fritsch effort at the end really pisses me off. The umpire CLEARLY warned him he needed to get the ball back to the Lions player and he still carries on like a smart [censored] for no reason. Happens way too often in the AFL. Just give the [censored] ball back. You have nothing to gain from that.

He stuffed around with it to make sure we could get set up behind the ball, but yes, he went a step too far and it hurt us in that situation.

If they’re gonna call that one against Fritsch then pay the four previous ones where Brisbane held it up, they have gotta be consistent. 
 

fritsch did nothing wrong, all players are told to hold it up as much as possible. The ump just decided to be a bit whistle happy.

28 touches, 10 tackles, 15 contested possies and 5 clearances.

Might have missed a target or two in the conditions, but he worked his backside off for us all night.

Has hit a ceiling will not ascend to elite level without cleaning up his skills big time .

Not the first time poor goal kicking cost us a game but this one hurts. We dominated the 3rd and butchered way too many opportunities. 

Fritta should be dropped for that 50, inexcusable. 

Plenty to like though,  we can match it with the best in the comp.

He thought it was his mark, or he was completely confused

The second is for Jackson.  Tom Mac is going to find it hard to get back into the side with the kid playing the way he is.  Love his athleticism and you can see his confidence lifting

Jackson will be a star. He is a suberb athelete and tries all night. Weids started the game on fire but seemed to lose his sizzle in the second half. Hannan no impact afyer a solid game last week.

I no we say it often but this time the umps truly were shocking with no rhyme or reason all night.

It wasnt just the non decisions it was also where and when the frees were paid.

Still we missed too many give mes im afraid.

Damn.

It was a hot game in the wet tonight. It looked every bit like two top 8 sides going toe to toe.

We were our own worst enemy in terms of fluffing chances, but if we continue to bring that level every week we can and should put our name in the hat at the end of the year.

Here's a question. Why does the Lever score review need to stop play? Why can't the ARC review it behind the scenes and if it turns out it was a behind, then bring it back.

The goal umpire should have called it a mark from the start. The score review system is making goal umpires second guess themselves.

Spot on, titan.  Couldn't believe it really.  If it's a point then they just add on the score as we would have kicked it out straight away.  That decision hurt us as we were away down the wing.

Well done Fritta you [censored] spanner

Calm down Dazzle, Weid 3 misses, Bennell 2 misses, one 10 metres out, Kozzie, Harmes and Landon all straight in front. Kick one of them and we win.

It's Curtains if we don't beat the Power Thurs night.

Went missing in the 2nd and 3rd quarters.

We had a crack but when it counted we shivered in front of goal.

Melk has ice running through his veins, clinical tonight.

Viney massive along with Salem.

Viney was immense. We should have won, but for the missed set shots and Harley’s. 
We are a whole lot better than we looked after round 4, which is a reason to be cheerful

Because they are incompetent.

15 secs of fame mate. Needed to get involved.

Brisbane's intensity and 2nd & 3rd efforts outmatched us ... until the last quarter

We left our run too late and our kicking for goal was an issue today as well.

A game we should have won.

Pickett is vastly overrated.

He’s young and has time, but he’s definitely being overhyped. This was his output at underage level - looked flashy and exciting, but ultimately had low output. It’s why I wasn’t keen on him at such as high pick. He looks exactly the same at afl level, flashy but contributes little. Hopefully he learns to get to better crumbing positions, as he missed opportunities to crumb 3-4 goals due to flying when he shouldn’t have or being in the complete wrong position.

Jackson on the other hand is getting to the right spots and with more strength could become a weapon. Really pleased with his development so quickly for a tall guy.

Our mids got a touch up through quarters 2-3, but ruck the umpires cost us the match at the end. Absolutely corrupt [censored]. The club should stand up and demand a please explain. 

Also, why does Clarry not get more free kicks? He’s held at nearly every stoppage but never gets a free kick when warranted.

You’re kidding aren’t you? That review call didn’t need to happen it was never going to impact the result.  A [censored] disgrace 

I totally agree that went beyond a bad decision to a process the AFL has implemented that pretty much cost a team a game. We were out who know where that would have led. Shamefull. As for Dees just another chapter in an ongoing horror story.

We’ve lost to Weet Coast, Richmond, Geelong and Brisbane. And we find ourselves having to beat top of the table Port to keep our season alive. Tough comp, but we have to start winning some of these games.

Lack of polish from the dees  makes hard work of every game but I agree end of the day Weid and harley cost us the game today with inexcusable misses. 

Hannan will continue to frustrate. One good game three bad. Brayshaw and harmes are horribly out of form.

The goal line review also should not have been called until the next stoppage in play. Ridiculous.

    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

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
