NON MFC: Round 12


Demonland

Recommended Posts


It does feel a tad unfair that every club can throw in a stinker this year yet we are the only club that is deemed to be in a crisis when it happens.

We actually should’ve beaten Geelong when we played them. Port haven’t landed a punch on them all night.

Well, a lot of the crisis-deeming comes from us.

And we do it every year, and sometimes more than once.

However, there is a point to be made: every club has lost at least one game by 30+ points (bear in mind shorter quarters). The Port loss is our only such loss for the year.

Indeed, 14 of the 18 clubs have lost one of their last four games by 30+ points (the four exceptions are Geelong, Gold Coast, West Coast and Richmond).

If Tomlinson had kicked that goal, we'd have a win over a top 4 side, we'd be 8th on the ladder and playing for a temporary spot in the top 4, and we'd have a significant degree more credibility.

But we didn't, so we're not, and we don't.

Geelong have to be the most greased up [censored] of a team

Selwood gets the oil treatment just before the siren at the start of games.  I figure it is so he can slide down and milk all the head high frees. 

For others the oil hinders op tackling. 

Ops should tackle and roll them around in the dirt early in a quarter to rub the oil off.

Anyone else have the sick feeling Geelong will win the flag ???

what I do know is that the 3 if not 4 of the usual suspects will be in the prelims

That's Geelong Richmond and Eagles

The fourth spot between Port and Brisbane with Pies and Giants as long range possibles

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
