Four and Oh, soak it up!!!

My standout points for the game:

  • Jake Lever is a legend. BOG by far, stood up when May went down and his leadership was absolutely exceptional. Without him there, likely we'd have crumbled and lost.
  • The improvement of lower tier players like Hunt and Neal-Bullen is having a huge impact on how well we are playing. Credit to those guys to finding some great form and credit to Williams (I expect) for his impact in that regard.
  • Great that the umpires are finally penalising the throwing in congestion, good to see.
  • If we hadn't dropped all those marks and kicked for goal terribly we'd have won by about 50 goals, no doubt.

    Best win by the club since the 2018 semi final.

    Loved the intensity and the repeat ferocious tackles throughout the whole game. 

    Completely agree, the intensity was evident since first bounce and never let up.

    All I want now is May to be ok , a pizza , a bourban and a chance to call my brother in law and gloat that his cats are cooked.

    Jake Lever proved his value with “that” display of leadership after the Brayshaw free. 

    There is absolutely zero doubt to even to the most ardent that we got the trade right!

    Usually there are a few saying the umpires weren’t bad, but how about now?

    Terrible for both teams in my opinion but I did feel like Geelong had some lucky frees that lead to goals which impacted the game more. That umpire with the booming deep voice was the worst. 

    Very difficult game to umpire and the view they have is radically different to the one (or multiple) views we get.

    Yep. If he is good to go, bring him in.

    Yep. Politely asked the ump what the free was for, no arguing, just reminding his teammates to keep their cool. It was great stuff.

    Spargo another great game. Hunt even better than last week (safer with ball in hand today).

    Sucks to lose May, probably for a fair while. I think we can still go OK though based on today's performance.

    Incredibly satisfying .

     

    Am I alone in thinking Hawkin's elbow wasn't accidental?

    Are Geelong now considered bad enough for people to continue saying "but the Demons haven't beaten anybody yet"?

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
