NON MFC: Round 18

Lucifers Hero
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

When all is said and done, we were stitched up in Round 16 when the Bulldogs came off a bye and a long break to play the Eagles at Metricon off a 5 day break with Natanui pulling out late. They won by 2 points and their last goal just got through the score review by a fingernail. Next day, we lose to the Dockers off a 4 day break. We needed only one of those results to go the other way and we play finals.

Now we need a miracle to make the finals and get to play the Eagles in Perth.

    I knew it was Gil's fault

    Thank you for spelling out the details

    Save money, AFL, and abolish umpires. The game couldn't possibly suffer from it

    I disagree, turn it into a money spinner. Let's start celebrity umpiring, with a whole TV reality show. I mean if they refuse to be professional about umpiring, why don't they go the complete reverse? Imagine the possibilities.

    I'm imagining ...

    Every week, one team randomly draws the hanging judge ... the hanging judge awards every free against that team

    At half time, the team in front can replace one umpire of their choice with another umpire of their choice

    Viewer poll ... vote for the next  free kick and what it is

    Each captain has a free free kick they can call at any time of the match, anywhere on the field.

    Umps in WCE home games and all Hawks games can mark the ball, handpass it, kick for goal as if they were players for that team (not too different from now, but here it's out in the open)

    Ok so we need port to win tomorrow, then the pies have to go to perth and play west coast, west coast win and put them out of the finals. Job done. 

    I can't help but feel if we won another game it would be the filth sitting 9th

    Now we're getting somewhere. Think of the TV ratings, more ad breaks than ever before, the revenue Gil, the revenue!

    Playboy Bunnies as umpires. They have more brains than the lot we have now.

    I am watching the game on CH7, can anyone tell me how many goals De Goey has kicked in his last 2 matches?

    Is it just me or does Alastair Lynch gasp for air between sentences way too much? Sounds like he’s about to cark it.

    Enjoy your trip to Perth Collingwood. Hope you get thrashed. 

    The positive for C/Wood is at least Bucks and Sando can get in a game of tennis.

    I thought BT excelled himself tonight, in great form coming into finals.

    I honestly didn't think he could get any worse than he has been this season.

    I was obviously wrong.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

    • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
